Clicking the category name displays a list of articles in that category, as well as any sub-categories. Categories allow readers to navigate through Wikipedia and find related articles. <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 /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> [[File:Category-diagram.png|border|400px|center]]<br /> <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 Wikipedia. <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 /> {{-}}<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 /> [[Category:Reader help]]</div>
