All Wiki Categories
This is for advanced editors.
You may instead add content quickly.
Below you see all page types ("categories") used at Games for Music wiki. This might be useful for you, if you'd like to edit more than text and use advanced functions of the Wikidot engine.

- categories other, rename and hyde are deprecated and soon may be removed.
(*) Scheme setup
Most of the categories use the template scheme, and the section (3) of the template can have different meanings — if it's used, it is explained in the last column of the table.
