Ülemkategooriasse

Ülemkategooriasse on Estonian term used in wiki taxonomy to describe the action of moving or placing content into the upper, or parent, category of a category hierarchy. The form is derived from ülemkategooria (the upper category) with the illative suffix -sse, which expresses motion toward that category. In practice, ülemkategooriasse refers to categorizing a page or another category at a higher level within the tree of categories.

The concept relies on a parent–child relationship between categories. A category may contain subcategories (alamkategooriad) and may itself be a subcategory of an even higher category. Ülemkategooriasse is thus contrasted with alamkategooriasse, which would indicate movement into a more specific, lower-level category. This terminology is common in editing guides, help pages, and discussions about how to organize content for clearer navigation and discoverability.

Usage guidance is practical rather than technical: editors may use phrases referring to placing content in the upper category when aiming to keep navigation concise or to reflect a broader grouping. It is often employed in edit summaries or categorization instructions rather than as a formal software feature, since different wiki platforms implement category nesting in slightly different ways. Understanding ülemkategooriasse helps contributors maintain consistent taxonomy, especially in communities that emphasize hierarchical organization of articles and media.
