			* Here, include articles on particular genres. Within subcategories by genre name, include (a) the article that defines and discusses the genre; (b) articles on panels or other discussions about the genre; and (c) a subcategory of "Works of X genre", e.g., "[[:Category:Works of horror]]".
			* Do not [[FSFwiki:Diffuse\|diffuse]] articles and subcategories into subcategories, but [[FSFwiki:Redundant categorization\|redundantly categorize]] them.
