6 নং শাৰী:
Categories are normally found at the bottom of an article page. Clicking the category name brings up a category page listing the articles (or other pages) that have been added to that particular category. There may also be a section listing the ''subcategories'' of that category. The subcategorization feature makes it possible to organize categories into tree-like structures to aid navigation.
 
== Summary ==
The MediaWiki software maintains tables of ''categories'', to which any editable page can be added. To add a page to a category, include "<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:''Category name'']]</tt>" or "<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:''Category name''|''Sortkey'']]</tt>" in that page's [[WPৱিকিপিডিয়া:Wikitext|wikitext]]. The categories to which a page belongs appear in a box at the bottom of the page.
 
A category is usually associated with a ''category page'' in the "Category:" [[WPৱিকিপিডিয়া:Namespace|namespace]]. A category page contains text that can be edited, like any other page, but when the page is displayed, the last part of what is displayed is an automatically generated list of all pages in that category, in the form of links. Other category pages which appear in this list are treated separately, as ''subcategories''.
 
== Putting pages in categories ==
A page belongs to a category if the page's wikitext contains a declaration for that category. A category declaration takes the form <tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:''Category name'']]</tt> or <tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:''Category name''|''Sortkey'']]</tt>. The declaration must be processed, i.e. it will not work if it appears between <nowiki&gt;...</nowiki&gt; or <includeonly&gt;...</includeonly&gt; tags, or in a comment. The declaration may however come from a [[WPৱিকিপিডিয়া:Transclusion|transcluded]] page; see [[#Categories and templates|Categories and templates]] below.
 
A category name can be any string that would be a legitimate [[WPৱিকিপিডিয়া:Page title|page title]]. It cannot begin with a lower-case letter. If the category name given in a category declaration begins with a lower-case letter, then it is interpreted as if it were capitalized.
 
In Wikipedia, it is customary to place category declarations at the end of the wikitext, but before any [[WPৱিকিপিডিয়া:Stub|stub]] templates (which themselves transclude categories) and [[Helpসহায়:Interwiki linking|interlanguage links]].
 
When a page has been added to one or more categories, a categories box appears at the bottom of the page (or possibly elsewhere, if a non-default [[WPৱিকিপিডিয়া:Skin|skin]] is being used). This box contains a list of the categories the page belongs to, in the order in which the category declarations appear in the processed wikitext. The category names are [[Helpসহায়:Link|linked]] to the corresponding category pages. They appear as [[Wikipediaৱিকিপিডিয়া:Red link|redlinks]] if the corresponding category page does not exist.
 
Hidden categories are not displayed, except as described below under [[#Hiding categories|Hiding categories]].
 
== Category pages ==
A category page is a page in the "Category:" namespace. The page "Category:''Name''" corresponds to the category called "''Name''". New category pages can be created like any other pages – by clicking on redlinks or entering the name in the search box and clicking "Go".
 
A category page can be edited like any other page. However, when it is displayed, the editable part of the page is followed by automatically generated lists of pages belonging to the category, as follows:
* First a count and list of subcategories (other category pages belonging to the category) is shown, if any exist. The name of each subcategory is followed by a count of its own subcategories. These further subcategories are displayed if the "+" sign alongside the subcategory is clicked.
* Next a count and list of pages in the category (excluding subcategories and images) is shown. If the category has no members, a message to that effect is displayed.
* Next a count and list of image and other media files in the category appears, if any exist. These are shown with thumbnails. The first 20 characters of the file name are shown, with an ellipsis if that is not the full name; also the file size is shown.
 
The items in the lists all link to the pages concerned; in the case of the images this applies both to the image itself and to the text below it (the name of the image).
34 নং শাৰী:
For the way in which the lists are ordered, see [[#Sort order|Sort order]] below. The first and second lists are divided into sections, according to the first character of the sort key. These initial characters are displayed above the sections. To suppress these, make all sort keys start with a space.
 
A category page can only display a limited number of items (currently 200). If more pages belong to the category, there will be a link to the next ones.
 
The categories box for the category page appears at the bottom, in the same place as for other pages. This contains the categories to which the current category page has been added, i.e. its ''parent categories'' (the categories of which it is a subcategory). Add a category page to other categories in the normal way, using the "<nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:''Category name'']]" or "<nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:''Category name''|''Sortkey'']]" syntax.
 
=== Linking to category pages ===
To link to a category page ''without'' putting the current page in that category, precede the link with a colon: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>:Category:''Category name'']]. Such a link can be [[Helpসহায়:Piped link|piped]] like a normal wikilink. (The {{tl|cl}} template, and others listed on its documentation page, may sometimes be helpful.)
 
== Sort order ==
By default, a page is sorted under the first letter of its full name ''including the namespace''. Also, MediaWiki groups accented characters separately from their unaccented version, so pages starting by À, Á, Ä, will be listed under separate headings, instead of under heading A.
 
Unlike at [[Specialবিশেষ:Allpages]] and [[Specialবিশেষ:Prefixindex]], a space is treated as a space (coming before all other characters), not as an underscore.
 
Each of the three lists (subcategories, pages, media files) is arranged in the order explained above (except that, in the subcategories list, the namespace indicator "Category:" is not considered). If an item ought to be positioned within a list on the basis of an alternative name (sort key) for that item, then this can be specified in the category tag that places the item in the list:
54 নং শাৰী:
<tt><pre>[[Category:People|Einstein, Albert]]</pre></tt>
 
Unlike with a [[Helpসহায়:Piped link|piped link]] (which uses the same syntax), the sort key itself is not displayed to readers. It affects only the order in which pages are listed on the category page.
 
It is useful to document the system being used for sort keys on the category page. For guidelines about the use of sort keys on Wikipedia, see [[WPৱিকিপিডিয়া:SORT]].
 
=== Default sort key ===
{{see also|WP:NAMESORT}}
It is possible to set a default sort key which is different from <tt><nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki></tt> by using the [[Helpসহায়:magic words|magic word]] <tt><nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT}}</nowiki></tt> thus:
<tt><nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT:new key}}</nowiki></tt>
 
In the case of multiple default sort key tags, the last one on a page applies for all categories, regardless of the position of the category tags. This also means that a DEFAULTSORT tag in a template, intended for category tags in that template, for categorization of pages calling the template, is not effective if another DEFAULTSORT tag occurs later on these pages, even if it is also "hidden", in another template.{{huh}}
 
== Hiding categories ==
When the [[Helpসহায়:Magic words|magic word]] <tt><nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki></tt> is placed on a category page, that category becomes ''hidden'', meaning that it will not be displayed on the pages belonging to that category. On Wikipedia, the magic word is not normally used explicitly, but is applied through the {{tl|hiddencat}} template. The feature is mostly used to prevent project maintenance categories from showing up to ordinary readers on article pages.
 
However, hidden categories ''are'' displayed (although listed as hidden):
* on category pages (whether as parent categories or subcategories);
* at preview during editing;
* if the user has selected "Show hidden categories" in user preferences.
 
Hidden categories are automatically added to [[:Category:Hidden categories]].
 
For guidelines on the hiding of categories on Wikipedia, see [[WPৱিকিপিডিয়া:HIDDENCAT]].
 
{{anchor|Adding a category by using a template}}
 
== Categories and templates ==
A template can be used to add pages to a category, usually by placing the category link inside ''<nowiki><includeonly></includeonly></nowiki>'' tags on the template (e.g. <code><nowiki><includeonly>[[Category:category name]]</includeonly></nowiki></code>). When the template is transcluded into the page, the category link becomes active, and the page is added to the category page. This is useful for categories that have high turnover or many pages included, like cleanup categories.
 
Changes to the template, however, may not be reflected immediately on the category page. When you edit an article to add a category tag directly, the list of category members is updated immediately when the page is saved. When a category link is contained in a template, however, this does not happen immediately: instead, whenever a template is edited, all the pages that transclude it are put into the [[Helpসহায়:job queue|job queue]] to be recached during periods of low server load. This means that, in busy periods, it may take hours or even days before individual pages are recached and they start to appear in the category list. Performing a [[Helpসহায়:Dummy edit#Null edit|null edit]] to a page will allow it to jump the queue and be immediately recached.
 
To add the template itself to the category page as well, omit the "includeonly" tags. To add the template to a category ''without'' categorizing pages on which the template is transcluded, place the category declaration between <noinclude&gt;...</noinclude&gt; tags.
 
[[Helpসহায়:Parser function|Parser functions]] can be used to make the transcluded categories, or the sort key used in them, dependent on other variables, notably PAGENAME.
 
;Passing a category by parameter:<nowiki><includeonly>[[Category:{{{cat|default}}}]]</includeonly></nowiki> or <nowiki><includeonly>{{{cat|[[Category:default]]}}}</includeonly></nowiki><br/>If the user provides a parameter 'cat=XXX' the page will be categorized at the page '''<nowiki>[[Category:XXX]]</nowiki>''', otherwise it will be categorized at the page '''<nowiki>[[Category:default]]</nowiki>'''. Calling the template with "cat=" (equal to nothing) disables putting the page in any category.
 
;Excluding non-article pages:<nowiki><includeonly>{{#if:{{NAMESPACE}} | | [[Category:XXX]]}}</includeonly></nowiki><br/>the variable NAMESPACE is null for mainspace articles. For any space other than mainspace, this ParserFunction will produce an empty string, but for regular articles this will include the article in Category:XXX.
 
On Wikipedia it is not recommended that templates be used to populate ordinary content categories of articles. See [[Wikipediaৱিকিপিডিয়া:Categorization#Categorization using templates|Categorization using templates]] in the categorization guideline.
 
== Categorizing redirect pages ==
Redirect pages can be categorized. The category tag must be placed after the redirect link. On a category page, redirects are listed in italics.
 
For conventions on the categorization of redirects in Wikipedia, see [[Wikipediaৱিকিপিডিয়া:Categorizing redirects]].
 
== Moving and redirecting category pages ==
The only way to move a category page is to manually change all category tags that link to the category, and copy the editable part. There is no automatic way to move a category page in the way one moves an article page. For categories entirely populated through templates (see above) modifying the templates enables all affected articles to be moved to another category, but with the refresh problem mentioned. Almost all category "moves" are made pursuant to a consensus decision at [[Wikipediaৱিকিপিডিয়া:Categories for discussion]].
 
Redirecting a category page is possible, but will not cause pages to be recategorized from the redirected category to the target. On Wikipedia [[Wikipediaৱিকিপিডিয়া:Soft redirect|soft redirects]] are preferred for categories, using the {{tl|Category redirect}} template, and bots are used to move pages from redirected categories.
 
== Searching for articles in categories ==
In addition to browsing through hierarchies of categories, it is possible to use the search tool to find specific articles in specific categories. To search for articles in a specific category, type '''incategory:"''CategoryName''"''' in the search box.
 
An "OR" can be added to join the contents of one category with the contents of another. For example, enter
::<tt>incategory:"Suspension bridges" OR incategory:"Bridges in New York City"</tt>
to return all pages that belong to either (or both) of the categories, as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=incategory%3A%22Suspension+bridges%22+OR+incategory%3A%22Bridges+in+New+York+City%22&ns0=1&fulltext=Search here].
 
Note that using search to find categories will not find articles which have been categorized using templates.
 
== "Related Changes" with categories ==
For a category, the "[[Helpসহায়:Related changes|Related Changes]]" feature, applied to the corresponding category page, lists recent changes to the pages currently listed as belonging to that category. Where those pages are subcategories or image pages, only changes to their ''editable parts'' are listed.
 
Notice that "Related Changes" does ''not'' list recent changes to pages linked from the editable part of the category page (as it would normally, with a non-category page). (If a workaround is required for this, the links in question could be placed in a template and transcluded onto the category page.)
 
As usual (unlike with [[Helpসহায়:watchlist|watchlist]]s) recent changes to corresponding [[Helpসহায়:Talk page|talk pages]] are ''not'' shown under "Related Changes". Pages you are watching are bolded on the list (this can be helpful for finding which pages in a given category you have on your watchlist).
 
"Related Changes" can be used to find pages which have recently been added to a category (unless they were added through modification of a template; then [[Helpসহায়:What links here|"What links here"]] should be used with the template). However it is not possible to detect deletions from a category in this way (since once pages have been removed from a category, their edits no longer show up in Related Changes). Another way of finding recent additions is to use an API query; see [[#Retrieving category information|Retrieving category information]] below. There is [[Userসদস্য:Svick/CW|an external tool]] to watch additions and removals from categories.
 
The [[mw:Extension:DynamicPageList (third-party)|DynamicPageList (third-party)]] extension provides a list of ''last'' edits to the pages in a category, or optionally, just the list of pages; the simpler [[mw:Extension:DynamicPageList (Wikimedia)|DynamicPageList (Wikimedia)]] is installed on Meta and Wikinews; the extension [[mw:Extension:DPLforum]] is installed on Wikia, see http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Forums.
 
== Listing all categories ==
[[Specialবিশেষ:Categories]] provides an alphabetic list of all categories, with the number of members of each; this number does not include the content of the subcategories, but it includes the subcategories themselves, i.e., each counting as one.
 
The above list contains all categories that have members, regardless of whether they have corresponding category pages. To list all existing category pages (regardless of whether they have members), use [[Specialবিশেষ:AllPages/Category:]].
 
== Displaying category trees and page counts ==
As described at [[mw:Help:Magic words]], <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>PAGESINCATEGORY:''Example''}}</tt> or <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>PAGESINCAT:''Example''}}</tt> returns the number of pages in "Category:Example". Each subcategory counts as one page; pages in subcategories are not counted.
 
The page [[Specialবিশেষ:CategoryTree]] enables you to see the tree structure of a category (its subcategories, their subcategories and so on; the display of files and other member pages is optional).
 
The [[mw:Extension:CategoryTree|CategoryTree extension]] can be used to display such a tree on any page. (This is sometimes done on the category page itself, if the category is split over multiple screens, to make all subcategories available on every screen.) The basic syntax is
* <code><nowiki><categorytree></nowiki>''Category name''<nowiki></categorytree></nowiki></code>
to display just the subcategory tree, and
* <code><nowiki><categorytree mode=pages></nowiki>''Category name''<nowiki></categorytree></nowiki></code>
to display member pages as well.
 
[[Userসদস্য:Dapete|Dapete's]] category-visualizer [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~dapete/catgraph/ Catgraph] will render charts of the tree structure.
 
== Retrieving category information ==
Raw information about the members of a category, their sortkeys and timestamps (time when last added to the category) can be obtained from the [[mw:API|API]], using a query of the form:
:<nowiki>http</nowiki>://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?cmtitle=Category:''Category_name''&action=query&list=categorymembers&cmlimit=500&cmprop=title|sortkey|timestamp
Listings of up to 500 members are possible. If there are more members then the results will include text near the end like this: <sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose=noneinline><categorymembers cmcontinue="page|NNNN|TITLE" /></sourcesyntaxhighlight>.
 
This can be added to the previous one, without quotation marks, for the next page of members: <code>...&cmcontinue=page|NNNN|TITLE</code>
 
== Category intersection, union, etc. ==
Various MediaWiki extensions allow intersection of categories, union of categories, display of info about the pages in a category, and more:
 
158 নং শাৰী:
** intersection of categories and complements of categories
** provides the time of last edit for each page
* [http://toolserver.org/~dschwen/intersection/ Category-/Linkintersection] - a toolserver tool to query articles based on boolean expressions of their categories (and, or, not).
They all also allow further restriction to a namespace; some allow also restriction to a union of namespaces, or the complement of a union of namespaces. They all allow the info to be displayed in any page, not just a separate category page.
 
See also [[Wikipediaৱিকিপিডিয়া:Category intersection]].
 
For ''category flattening'' (displaying the articles in a category's subcategories, sub-subcategories, etc.) see *[http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Inferencing#Subcategories category flattening with Semantic MediaWiki].
