Do not make empty, guessed, or unfinished categories. Only make a category when you know its real name and where it belongs. We may reject categories that don&#039;t provide real or relevant information, and you might lose the ability to create them if repeated issues occur.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<nav class=\"showchase-tutorial__index\" aria-label=\"On this page\">\n<h2>On this page<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#en-requirements\">What you need<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#en-section-1\">What this tutorial is about<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#en-section-2\">What you will achieve<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#en-section-3\">Example use case<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#en-section-4\">How the category hierarchy works<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#en-section-5\">Optional names in another language<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#en-section-6\">Before you create anything<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#en-section-7\">Game image<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#en-section-8\">Wiki details<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#en-section-9\">After your category is approved<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#en-steps\">Steps<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/nav>\n<h2 id=\"en-requirements\">What you need<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Sign in to your Showchase account.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the printing language before you create the game. It is the language used for the category&#039;s main name; use English for this sample.<\/li>\n<li>You need editor access to create categories and add their details.<\/li>\n<li>If you add a game image, use a clear image that you are allowed to share.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<aside class=\"showchase-tutorial__permission-notice\">\n<p>Do not have editor access?

It puts related things together, so people can find them and see how they connect. In Showchase, categories link a game to its sets and products. This guide shows the right order to make them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"en-section-2\">What you will achieve<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>You will learn how to make three connected categories: a game, a set inside the game, and a product inside the set. The names in this guide are only examples. Use real names only when the information is correct.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"en-section-3\">Example use case<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Imagine you want to add a new trading card game. First, make the game page. Next, add each real card release as a set. Then add the products in that set. In this example, Showchase TCG has Base collection (vol 1), and that set has Koko the collector.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"en-section-4\">How the category hierarchy works<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Game<\/strong>: A game is the main page for a trading card game or brand. Make the game first. Its sets and products go under it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set<\/strong>: A set is one card release or collection inside a game. In this example, Base collection (vol 1) is a set in Showchase TCG.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Product<\/strong>: A product is one item inside a set. Koko the collector goes in Base collection (vol 1), not straight under the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"en-section-5\">Optional names in another language<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Translations are optional. Open Translations and add every name you know is correct. This helps people find the same category in the languages they use. Do not guess a translated name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"en-section-6\">Before you create anything<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Search first. Someone may have already made the game, set, or product.<\/li>\n<li>Make the larger group first: Game, then Set, then Product.<\/li>\n<li>Showchase TCG, Base collection (vol 1), and Koko the collector are made-up samples. Only make real categories when the name and details are correct and complete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"en-section-7\">Game image<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>For the Showchase TCG game, open Wiki details. Scroll to Game image, then tap the + below it. Choose a clear square logo from your device gallery that you are allowed to share. An image is optional, but it helps people spot the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"en-section-8\">Wiki details<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Wiki details add useful facts to the category page. For a set, add its release date and set code. For a product, add its card code. Only add facts you know are correct.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"en-section-9\">After your category is approved<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Our team reviews new categories. After the category is approved, its Wiki entry becomes available. You can then open it to add or improve the full Wiki information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"en-steps\">Steps<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"en-browse-games\">\n<h3>Open search and find the game grid<\/h3>\n<p>On the Home tab, tap the search bar.
