Categories are used to help organise Wikipedia articles and other types of pages. Before requesting a new category please make sure an appropriate category does not already exist. Special:CategoryTree may help you find existing categories.
When you click the button below, you'll be taken to an edit page with instructions on how to complete your request.
What happens next: Once your request is submitted, it will be reviewed by one or more registered editors who will determine if the category is appropriate for Wikipedia. If it is, the category will be created. If not, it will be declined.
If your suggestion is declined: Don't take it personally! Having a proposal declined by no means reflects poorly on you or diminish your value to the project. We hope that you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia.
