This is the text of the '''Template:CategoryDiscussions'''.  It is intended to connect the various [[Talk page|discussions]] about [[Special:Categories|categories]] here on WikiIndex that are taking place (or have previously taken place) on various pages.  Please also see [[WikiIndex:How do categories work]], and how to use our {{template|Tag}} template.  If you find a discussion on categories which does not display this message box, please add this template by copying the following <code>{{template|CategoryDiscussions}}</code>, and pasting at the <u>bottom</u> of the [[edit box]] on the required [[talk page]], and then go [[edit]] this [[Template:CategoryDiscussions|template]] to include it, ''and'' summarise the discussion you found.  The following discussions have taken, or are taking place:

*[[WikiProject:Categories and Tags]] — lists some category-related projects we have been working on, and how we use our {{template|Tag}} template (which 'wikilinks', ''and'' auto-includes into its linked category); please feel free to help.

*[[Category talk:Browse]] — the talk page of the ''de facto'' 'root' (or top tier) category; a logical place for general category discussions to occur.  Mentions [[:Category:Language|language]] stuff; also questions whether '[[:category: Browse]]' should even be a category.

**[[:Category:Wiki Language]] and its [[:Category talk:Wiki Language|talk page]] — alternate proposals have been suggested and implemented here.

**[[WikiIndex talk:Community talk]] — one of the earliest discussion spaces, which included some general categorisation issues

**[[Category talk:Wiki Topic]] — what should the 'root' or '[[Template:Parent category|parent]]' of the <u>topics</u> or <u>subject matter</u> of [[:Category:All|all wikis]] indexed here on WikiIndex.

**[[WikiIndex:WikiProject - By Size]] and its [[WikiIndex talk:WikiProject - By Size|talk page]] — original discussions for methodology on creating categorisation of wikis by size, and the templates used to generate the required output

**[[Category talk:Wiki Size]] — brief comment on how to determine page count of wikis, especially from the various [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]]; more detail can be found at [[template:Size]].

**[[Category talk:Places]] — the former fundamental 'location cat'; previously suggested for depreciation, and proposed as being edited out of existence; now used for non-geographical locations.

**[[Category talk:Wiki Location]] — the new location root category; discussion general geography schemes here.

**[[Category talk:Cities]] — one scheme: a category just for 'city wikis' . . .;  see also: [[Regiowikis]].

**[[Category talk:Earth]] — how to structure a 'tree of locations'; discussion at the root of the tree.

**[[User talk:TedErnst]] — discussion about the resolution to use for '[[:category:Wiki Size]]' sub-categories.

**[[Category talk:Wikia]] — discussion about the commercial behemoth that is [[:category: Wikia]], now also known as 'Fandom'.

**[[Category talk:Wiki Engine]] — discussion about [[:category: Wiki Engine]] structure.

**[[Category talk:Wiki Status]] — inconsistency, some editors consider it overlapping with [[:category: Wiki Edit Mode]].
