Clicking the category name displays a list of articles in that category, below a list of sub-categories (&#039;&#039;categories&#039;&#039; in that category) (if any). Categories allow readers to navigate through chabadpedia and find related articles.<br /> <br /> Categories are not displayed in the [[Help:Mobile access|mobile version]] ([[phab:T24660]]). Mobile users can click &quot;Desktop&quot; at the bottom of a page to see the desktop version with categories. Registered users can enable [[:mw:Reading/Web/Advanced mobile contributions|Advanced mode]] which includes a &quot;Categories&quot; button.<br /> <br /> [[File:Chicken Eyeglasses categories.png|center|thumb|900x900px|The bottom of the chabadpedia article [[Chicken eyeglasses]]. At the very bottom of the page, below the References, navigation templates and external links are a series of links. These links are the categories used on the page, which include: [[:Category:Animal welfare]], [[:Category:Animal equipment]], [[:Category:Eyewear]], and [[:Category:Poultry farming]]. By clicking on the category link at the bottom of the page, readers can navigate the Category tree (see below).]]<br /> <br /> ==Category tree==<br /> All of the categories form a hierarchy, although sub-categories may be a member of more than one category. An example of a small part of this hierarchical structure looks somewhat like this:<br /> <br /> {| align = &quot;center&quot;<br /> |<br /> [[:Category:Main topic classifications]]<br /> ↓<br /> [[:Category:History]]<br /> ↓<br /> [[:Category:History by location]]<br /> ↓<br /> [[:Category:History by country]]<br /> ↓<br /> [[:Category:History of Australia]]<br /> ↓<br /> [[:Category:History of Australia by location]]<br /> ↓<br /> [[:Category:History of Australia by state or territory]]<br /> ↓<br /> New South Wales, Queensland, etc.<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> The actual relationship is more complex since a category may appear as a subcategory of several other categories. The actual relationship of part of the category structure looks like this:<br /> <br /> [[File:Category-diagram.png|border|400px|center]]<br /> <br /> The uppermost category in the hierarchy is [[:Category:Contents]]. From here all other categories branch out, including those that are used for the maintenance of chabadpedia.<br /> <br /> If an entry in a category is shown in &#039;&#039;italics&#039;&#039; it is a redirect to an article of a different name or a section of an article that contains information about that particular subject.<br /> <br /> {{Clear}}<br /> ----<br /> &lt;inputbox&gt;<br /> type=search<br /> width=30<br /> namespaces=Help**,Category**<br /> searchbuttonlabel=Search<br /> bgcolor=#cee0f2<br /> break=no<br /> &lt;/inputbox&gt;<br /> ----<br /> <br /> {{chabadpedia categorization navbox}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Reader help]]<br /> [[Category:chabadpedia categorization|*]]</div>
