Background:Categories

**Categories** are an important part of the wikis, allowing pages to be organised.

Please take a look at the list of categories and double-check before you click \*enter\*. Spelling and capitalisation errors can create unwanted categories (North Carolina Aviation Incidents and North carolina Aviation Incidents are **two** different categories).

A few people can also go through the list of categories searching for errors.

To remove a category, go to the downwards-pointing triangle beside ***EDIT***. Click **Classic Editor**. On your right, you can edit and delete bad categories.

## **Aviation Incidents**

### US Aviation Incidents Part 1

If the incident occurred in the **UNITED STATES,**categories should be **[State] Aviation Incidents**. Please note Incidents is plural.

An example would be USAir 1016. Since the accident occurred in North Carolina, the correct category will be **North Carolina Aviation Incidents**.

### US Aviation Incidents Part 2

The airports listed below have had a large number of incidents and will be **[IATA] Airport Aviation Incidents**. Again, please note ***Incidents*** is plural and the code is IATA, not ICAO.

JFK, SFO, LAX

An example would be Eastern Air Lines 66. Since the incident occurred near JFK International Airport, the correct category would be **JFK Airport Aviation Incidents.**

### Non-US Aviation Incidents

If the aviation incident did **not** occur in the United States, put **[Country] Aviation Incidents**.

### Aviation Incident Category FAQ's

If a flight crashed near a large airport (JFK), do I put JFK Airport Aviation Incidents even if it was not planning to land there?

No. The incident **must** either attempt to land or land near the airport.
