Using Categories

Any WikiTree profile or page can be categorized. Categories help you organize your own family history, help connect genealogists whose family histories intersect, and help historians who are researching specific subjects.

Categorizing a profile is as simple as including a tag such as [[Category:World War II Veterans]] inside the bio/text section. See Using Categories for simple instructions.

The categorization system is still being developed. If this topic interests you, please help us by joining our new Categorization Project.
