If you were looking for a complete list of categories, see:http://www.diablowiki.net/Special:Categories If you are here for learning a bit about categories and diablowiki structure, continue.
Contents
Structure
Categories are essential to the structure of Diablowiki. A large part of what is searched in Diablowiki depends onthe use of categories. When adding pages to categories, add them in the largest yet most fitting category available.This article will help with that.
Keep in mind that the category structure is rather confusing at the moment and needs some organising, and that articles can fit into multiple categories
Adding Articles to Categories
The line used for adding pages and images to categories is [[:Category:<category name here>]]. There should not be a need to create new categories, as plenty of them exist to cover all the topics here in Diablowiki.
If you need help with understanding where to put pages, use your best judgement. Alternatively, if you cannot decide, you can ask Elly or another dedicated editor where to put them.
Remember, when adding pages to a category, punctuation and grammar matter. For example, you will not successfully put a article about witch doctors into Category:Witch Doctor by typing Category: witch doctors.
Default Category:Root
The "category to rule them all", is Category:Root. From here is where all other categories expand from. There should not be a need to add pages to this category.
Category:Content
Category:Content is where most categories about Diablo start from. It includes all the categories that are about Diablo 3's content. Articles still do not need to be in this category, as they are covered by sub-categories.
Category:Basics
Category:Basics is where general descriptions of topics, such as Acts, go. Acts would fit into this category, instead of into.
Category:Gameplay
Category:Gameplay is another main category, specifically for diablo 3's gameplay. Again, it is unnecessary to put pages into this category, as most will fit into sub-categories.
Category:Classes
Category:Classes is a general category for information regarding all classes. For example, a general page about skill runes would fit in this category, whereas information about Fury would belong in a class-specific section.
Other special class categories include:
- Category:Classes (Diablo II) - Diablo 2 classes.
- Category:Fan classes - Fan-made classes.
Category:(Specific Classes)
- Category:Barbarian - Specific class information about Barbarians.
- Category:Barbarian Skills - Specific information about Barbarian skills.
- Category:Demon Hunter - Specific class information about Demon Hunters.
- Category:Demon Hunter Skills - Specific information about Demon Hunter skills.
- Category:Witch Doctor - Specific class information about Witch Doctors.
- Category:Witch Doctor Skills - Specific information about Demon Hunter skills.
- Category:Wizard - Specific class information about Wizards.
- Category:Wizard Skills - Specific information about Wizard skills.
- Category:Monk - Specific class information about Monks.
- Category:Monk Skills - Specific information about Monk skills.
Category:Acts
Category:Acts contains information relevant to all of Diablo 3's acts. Specific act categories contain information relevant to only one act. Even more specific categories, such as the Quests and Levels categories, contain specific information about specific quests and levels in each act.
Category:Quests
Category:Quests should only contain act quest sub-categories and special quests, like the Infernal Machine, that cannot be bound to one act.
Category:Items
Category:Items contains general articles about items and items not covered by a sub-category. Sub-categories include:
- Category:Weapons
- Category:Armor
- Category:Jewelry (rings and amulets)
- Category:Artefacts (lore books, special items)
Category:Monsters
Category:Monsters Contains information about monsters in diablo 3 not covered by a sub-category, or contains broad information about monsters. Some sub-categories are:
- Category:SuperUniques - General category for purple titled bosses.
- Category:Objects

Category:Skills
Category:Skills contains Diablo 3 skill information. Previously mentioned skill categories are sub-categories of this one.

- Category:Reference - Contains other bits of information, such as a glossary, acronyms, and statistics.
