Categorical indexes

Wikipedia's category system is generated from category tags at the bottom of articles. The top-end pages are:

  • Categories – an index of major categories, arranged by subject – that section of the page is an exception to the category autogeneration rule, as it is crafted by hand
  • Category:Articles – the category in which all article category systems are located
  • Category:Categories – the highest level or "root" category in Wikipedia – its autogenerated entries are listed at the bottom of the page
  • Category:Contents – the category equivalent to this page
  • Category:Fundamental categories – the category containing the most fundamental ontological categories such that every article category system can reasonably be expected to be within it
  • Special:Categories – every category listed alphabetically

Wikipedia's other broad categorical indices are:
