Template:Cat

Please make sure you have read and understood Memory Alpha's category approval policy before editing this page. Category suggestions can be used to suggest a single category, multiple categories in the same "tree branch" or "parent category," or to determine which categories will contain or be contained by other categories. From there, they may either be approved and enacted by moving the discussion from this page to the new category's talk page, or, if not approved, moving the discussion from here to the category suggestion archive.

One of the reasons we discuss categories first is because we need to ensure that the category tag, when circumstances call for it, contains the correct sort keys to arrange the list in a predetermined order.

This page is broken down into sections:
 * In-universe categories: These categories are intended to be use for in-universe articles, and should be named to maintain Memory Alpha's POV.
 * Production POV categories: These categories are for use on production articles, which are written from the real world POV.
 * Maintenance categories: These categories are used in the maintenance of Memory Alpha, and would include the audio and image files for example.
