Topic summary

This is a placeholder template for defining a new category in a forum system. It provides a structured framework for category creators to consider:

Key Questions to Address:

  • Purpose and intended use of the category
  • How it differs from existing categories
  • Expected content types for topics
  • Whether the category is necessary or could be consolidated

Format Requirements:

  • First paragraph: Brief description under 200 characters for category selection interface
  • Subsequent paragraphs: Detailed guidelines and rules

The template prompts administrators to justify the category’s existence and establish clear boundaries to prevent overlap with other forum sections.

(Replace this first paragraph with a brief description of your new category. This guidance will appear in the category selection area, so try to keep it below 200 characters.)

Use the following paragraphs for a longer description, or to establish category guidelines or rules:

  • Why should people use this category? What is it for?

  • How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have?

  • What should topics in this category generally contain?

  • Do we need this category? Can we merge with another category, or subcategory?
