Migration Categories to Australia
This page outlines the categories that can be added to profiles of people who migrated to Australia from other countries around the world.
Any applicable categories already created, can be added by finding them with the category picker tool in "Edit" mode on a profile. If, after reading this page, you would like us to add a migration category for you that has not already been created, go to Categories Waiting to be Added or Renamed and post a link to the profile, to which you want the category added, plus any information you have for the category, under the heading, "Everything Else".
Global Migration Category Structure
- See the diagram, for an illustration of the category levels.
- Categories for migration from other countries to Australia will follow the naming guidelines and 5-level structure outlined in Migration Category Structure.
- Ideally, profiles are placed in the level 5 (landing level) category.
- Profiles can be placed in level 4 categories when the emigrating admin entity is unknown, eg. Category:New South Wales, Immigrants from Italy or the country does not have admin entities listed in the migration structure, eg. Category:New South Wales, Immigrants from Greece.
- Profiles should not be placed in levels 1-3 categories.
All categories should have the correct Migration Category Info Box (CIB), which adds the correct parent categories to the category.
