Instructions to be added to Category Wiki page
Category:Municipalities_in_New_York and Category:Municipalities in Albany County
 * Standard article naming conventions apply; in particular, do not capitalize regular nouns except when they come at the beginning of the title. Example: Category:Census_records_of_England
 * Avoid abbreviations. Example: "Category:Military equipment of World War II", not ":Category:Military equipment of WW2". However, abbreviations that have become the official or generally used name (such as NATO) should be used where there are no other conflicts.
 * Don't use the topic name without indicating structure, e.g. Category:History of London instead of Category:History - Europe - UK - London.
 * For topics related to localities, always use "of" or "in". Example:. Not Category:England Census Records.
 * A category should not be created for the name of a locality unless there are going to be more than 3 articles that will also use the locality. Example: North Carolina should have Category:North Carolina on the page. A category should not be created for Knox, New York to be put on the wiki page because it will not have more than one page in the category. Instead it should only have,

Standard Categories:


 * States of the United States
 * Counties in [Name of State]
 * Municipalities in [Name of State] (this covers towns, cities, villages)

The above should be adapted to each locality THAT HAS WIKI PAGES THAT ARE POPULATED. For example, Denmark:


 * Denmark
 * Counties in Denmark
 * Parishes in Denmark

We are currently NOT making separate categories for: Counties of the United States or Canada Townships Villages
