{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Uruguay/Recognized content}}

In general lines, articles should be assigned the most specific category possible, excluding all its parent categories. Additionally it should be categorized in all other useful categories. For example, Palacio Taranco should be assigned :Category:Palaces in Montevideo which is subcategory of both :Category:Palaces in Uruguay and :Category:Buildings and structures in Montevideo. However, since it is also a museum, it is also assigned :Category:Museums in Montevideo. Additionally, :Category:1910 architecture and :Category:Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo can be assigned.

To facilitate the categorization of Uruguayan articles and to check for areas of topics needing attention, you can check the categorization tree of :Category:Uruguay, presented as an expanded list here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Uruguay/Categorization. Note that the list is not updated automatically.

When placing {{WikiProject Uruguay}} template on talk pages of Categories, Templates, Files, Project, Portal and Disambiguation pages, you do not need to add |class= values, as they are automatically assigned the appropriate values and do not appear as unassessed. In Categories, Templates and Files you can assign a value to the |topic= parameter, so that they appear in the appropriate group (for more information see the instructions of the template).
