Note that in many instances a topic category and a set category have similar names, the topic category being singular and the set category plural. For example, Opera is a topic category (containing all articles relating to the topic), while Operas is a set category (containing articles about specific operas).

A good category name is accurate and neutral, and, as much as possible, defines the category's inclusion criteria in the name itself. Important: Moving non-conventionally categorized pages to another category name (see {{Category redirect}}) imposes an additional overhead – an edit for every categorized page and subcategory.
Grouping articles into a category is not the same as making a list of articles. To edit a list of articles, you edit the list directly; but to place articles into a category, you edit an article and insert a category tag by placing [[Category:<category name>]] in the body of the text. This adds those articles as a list on the category's page.
Wikipedia offers several ways to group articles: categories, list articles (including item lists, as well as topical glossary, index, outline, and timeline articles), other lists including embedded lists, and navigation templates (of which article series boxes are one type).
This is a list of Wikipedia's major topic classifications. They are used throughout Wikipedia to organize the presentation of links to articles in its various reference systems, including Wikipedia's overviews , outlines , glossaries , lists , portals , indices , and categories .
