At a minimum, each organization should have relevant categories for:

Category:Organizations established in YYYY example :Category:Organizations established in 1990. (Tree is in :Category:Organizations by year of establishment.) - Location - A location or geography category. Format is usually
Category:Organizations based in Country ; example, :Category:Organizations based in the United States. Spelling of "organization" may vary depending on country and who began the category. If in doubt, browse the tree at :Category:Organizations by location. If an appropriate, more geographically-specific category exists, use that one. - Subject - A subject category (e.g., :Category:Scientific organizations). Browse the tree at :Category:Organizations by subject.
- Note: There are some combined subject/country categories, e.g., :Category:Environmental organisations based in the United Kingdom). Browse :Category:Organizations by subject and country .
- If applicable or known, an activity category (e.g., :Category:Research organizations). Browse the tree at :Category:Organizations by activity. (If an organization has many different activities it may not be appropriate to categorize by activity.)
- If applicable or known, a "legal status or organizational structure" category (e.g., :Category:Non-profit organizations). Browse the category at :Category:Organizations by legal status.
