Category tips and where to put them
Investment
- only to be put on pages that really needs it (i.e. pages with no infobox, incomplete details, no descriptions, etc.)
- Not to be put on short but complete pages
Cleanup
- Only to be put on pages that really needs fixing (i.e. messy pages, wikicopied information, too many bias, too many unnecessary information, etc.)
Short-Lived
- Only to be put on countryballs that lasted 3 years or less
- Countryballs that lasted 4 years or more are no longer considered short lived so the category Historical Countryballs suffices
Ancient Countryballs
- Only to be put on countryballs that lasted 1 BC and earlier
- Countryballs that lasted starting from 1 AD and beyond are no longer considered ancient so the category Historical Countryballs suffices.
Color categories
- Add only 1 category type on a page
- Add the correct color type
- For example on Franceball, add only the category Red Blue White and not Red, Blue, Blue Red White, White Blue Red.
Others
- DO NOT add misspelled categories
- DO NOT add categories that will only be on one page
- DO NOT add gibberish categories
- DO NOT add small lettered categories
- DO NOT add random categories to pages
- DO NOT add deleted categories
