Category:Encyclopedias and Dictionaries

This category is for articles or categories about:


 * encyclopedias - works that contain information on all branches of knowledge, or treat comprehendively a particular branch of knowledge
 * dictionaries - reference works containing words, usually in alphabetical order, including their etymology and meanings (longer than the shorter genealogical word lists which have a category of their own).

For articles, lists, or dictionaries that are about the names of people please prefer the category Names Personal.

This category is not for articles that fit better in the categories: glossaries, handwriting, language and languages, letter-writing guides, or word lists.
