Using categories for your own family history
We’ve been making improvements to the category system thanks to input and experimentation by C-G Magnussen and his Italians in Sweden project.

Categories will be powerful tools for history. They enable WikiTreers to connect records in creative and unusual ways. Imagine connecting the pages of sailors who served on the same ship in World War 2, or neighbors who grew up on the same street, or students who attended the same school.
Categories can be used for your own family history too. WikiTreer extraordinaire Joanna Tolson asked about ways to highlight particular people in her Watchlist, e.g. one who was a professional hockey player, or the family with triplets.
If you don’t mind sharing the category with other WikiTreers, you could create generic categories such as “Professional Hockey Players” and “Triplets”. Simply put something like [[Category:Professional Hockey Players]] in the person’s bio/notes. A category page will instantly be created and anyone else who creates a page for a professional hockey player will be able to add them in the same way.
If you want to keep a personal category for special people in just your family, one way to do it would be a category like [[Category:Select Family Members of Joanna Tolson]].
Another cool thing about category pages is that you can add a description to the top of them. For example, Joanna might want to explain the meaning of her “Select Family Members of Joanna Tolson” page and why people are listed there. To add this description, however, you need to have special “Super” editing rights at WikiTree. Ask me about this when you want to add a description and I can help.
