The "root category" of the wiki is Browse.  This category is a direct child of Browse and it contains ''different ways of listing wikis''.  If and when this category is cleaned up, it will only contain categories that explain a system for listing wikis (these should probably in turn contain categories that are actually applied to wikis.
The "root category" of this [[WikiIndex]] wiki is [[:Category:Browse]].  This '''Wiki Lists''' [[Special:Categories|category]] is a direct child, or subcategory of Browse, and it contains ''different ways of listing wikis''.  If and when this category is cleaned up, it will only contain categories that explain a system for listing [[wiki]]s (these should probably in turn contain categories that are actually applied to wikis.


Here are subcategories that are correctly placed here:
Here are subcategories that are correctly placed here:
* '''''For Browsing:'''''
*'''''For Browsing:'''''
** '''All''' - The least picky category of all.  Every single wiki that's not "Inactive".
**'''[[:Category:All]]''' — the least picky category of all – every single wiki that's not "[[:Category:Inactive]]".
** '''Wiki Age''' - This contains categories for the founding date of the wiki, like "FoundedIn2005" and so on.

** ''Wiki Edit Mode'' - This contains categories describing who is allowed to edit the wiki.
**'''[[:Category:Wiki Edit Mode]]''' — this contains categories describing who is allowed to edit the wiki.
** ''Wiki Engine'' - Wikis run on wiki software.  This is for categorizing them that way.

** ''Wiki Language'' - This contains categories describing the primary language(s) of the wiki.
**'''[[:Category:Wiki Language]]''' — this contains categories describing the primary language in which the wiki is <u>written</u> in (and not its subject matter).
** ''Wiki Status'' - This contains labels for "how the wiki's community is fairing".
**'''[[:Category:Wiki Status]]''' — this contains labels for "how the wiki's community is fairing".
** ''Wiki Topic'' - Wikis have ''content'', remember? What topic(s) does the content fall under? (This category has hundreds of subcats that probably need to be turned into their own tree.)
**'''[[:Category:Wiki Topic]]''' — wikis have ''content'', remember? – what topic(s) or subject matter does the content fall under? – (this category has hundreds of subcategories that probably need to be turned into their own tree.)
** '''Wiki Location''' - Categories for describing a wiki's connection to geographic places.
**'''[[:Category:Wiki License]]''' — lists the specific license or licenses under which the content of the wiki is released.
** '''Wiki Size''' - How many articles does the wiki have? Categories like LessThan10, MoreThan10, MoreThan20, and MoreThan50.
**'''[[:Category:Wiki Location]]''' — categories for describing a wiki's connection to geographic places.
* '''''For Editing:'''''
**'''[[:Category:Wiki Size]]''' — how many articles does the wiki have? – categories like LessThan10, MoreThan10, MoreThan20, and MoreThan50, etc, right up to those wikis with a million pages or more.
** '''Unknown''' - Wikis should get this when their page needs to be added to particular kinds of Unknown categories in the above Browsing categories.
**'''[[:Category:wikiFactor]]''' — describes the impact or importance of a wiki.
** '''Wikis to add''' - For wikis that have a page here at WikiIndex, but need the Wiki template added, or have the template, but the information hasn't been filled in yet.  Make pages with nothing but the URL for a wiki... and add "<nowiki>{{add}}</nowiki>", or use the new wiki form on [[Community Portal]] so that the wiki's page will show up here.
**'''[[:Category:Wiki Backups]]''' — lists those wikis which have been 'backed up', with the URL of said backup file.
*'''''For Editing:'''''
**'''[[:Category:Unknown]]''' — wikis are included in this when their page needs to be added to particular kinds of Unknown categories in the above Browsing categories.
**'''[[:Category:Wikis to add]]''' — for wikis that have a 'skeleton' page here at WikiIndex, but need the [[:Template:Wiki|Wiki template]] added, or have the template, but the information hasn't been filled in yet.  Make pages with nothing but the URL for a wiki... and add <code><nowiki>{{add}}</nowiki></code>, or use the new wiki form on [[WikiIndex:Community portal|Community Portal]] so that the wiki's page will show up here.


[[WikiProject:Wikis to Add]] lists a bunch of raw wiki URLs.
[[WikiProject:Wikis to Add]] lists a collection of raw wiki URLs. Please help us move each one to its own page here using [[WikiIndex:Add a Wiki|Add it to WikiIndex!]]. That should automatically put the wiki in the "All" category. Thank you.
