'''DO NOT ADD ANY CATEGORIES TO PASTAS THAT ARE NOT ON THE LIST BELOW! ClericofMadness'''

We're not a search engine, pastas don't need Keywords. Categories are simple and straighforward ways of connecting people to similar pages.

Admin Note
We don't need to keep adding categories just for the points; there are plenty of them. If you're going for points, add 75 pastas in one day and add the subsequent categories to those. We always need NEW content. If you have category suggestions, feel free to leave a message on my talk page.

Specific Rules

 * Ghosts, Monsters, Demon/Devil, Beings, Cryptids are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE categories. This means you can classify a page as Ghosts, but none of the others. Same goes for the rest.
 * If a page is a Horrible Troll Pasta, it may not be tagged as a Troll Pasta, and vice-versa.
 * Books category is not for Diaries/Journals. Nor are they to be listed as Items/Objects.
 * If a page is marked as "Lost Episodes" it's not to be tagged as Television.
 * PokeMon, Zelda, and Minecraft pastas are not to get the Video Games tag. Also, Minecraft doesn't need Computers/Internet.
 * Holders pastas must be from the original series.
 * Pages with the OC category MUST be listed on the User Submissions page. Failure to do that within 30 minutes of adding the OC tag a total of THREE times will result in a three day ban.
 * The Videos category is for pages with videos or the default tag for videos. Do not add the Videos category to a page if it does not have one.
