kategorinavn

Kategorinavn is the label used to identify a category within a taxonomy or classification system. In wikis, content management systems and knowledge bases, a category groups related articles or items to facilitate navigation, discovery, and organization. The name is typically a concise, descriptive text string and is usually stored together with additional category metadata such as a slug, a description, and an optional parent category that indicates hierarchy.

The naming of categories commonly reflects the scope and structure of the content. For example, a wiki about technology might include categories such as Technology, Software, Hardware, and Networking. In e-commerce or information repositories, categories organize products or articles under broader topics. Distinctions exist between category names and tags: categories often imply a hierarchical grouping and a broader collection, while tags tend to be more granular and non-hierarchical.

Best practices for Kategorinavn include keeping names short and unambiguous, using consistent language and capitalization, and avoiding duplicate or overlapping labels. It is important to localize names for multilingual sites and to plan a stable taxonomy to minimize renaming or restructuring over time. When implemented, category names are typically displayed prominently in navigation menus, lists, and search filters, and may be used to generate URL slugs or summary pages that help users browse related content.
