Character[]
With Character pages, there are types of Characters and the Character must be categorized into whichever category applies to them, the Category: "Characters
", is compulsory, because they are a Character. This category is where any Character, big or small on Mom appears. This is a compulsory Category.
Main[]
For Character pages, there are five main Categories for them:
EXPLANATION:
- If the Character is a Main Character, they must be listed under "
Main Characters
" category. If they are not please do not list them under this category. Main Characters are usually in every single episode. However this can change, the Character Violet Plunkett was a Main Character in Season 1, Season 2 and Season 3, after this she became a Recurring and Guest Character. - If the Character is a Recurring Character, they must be listed under "
Recurring Characters
" category. If they are not, please do not list them under this category. Recurring Characters are not in every episode, but they can either appear often in episodes in a certain Season or they can appear more than once in the Series, over a few Seasons. They must to appear more than 3 times to be considered a Recurring Character though. - If the Character is an Episodic Character, they must be listed under "
Episodic Characters
" category. If they are not, please do not list them under this category. Episodic Characters are Character that appear in one episode for the entire series only. These Characters don't usually have a background, and there is consideration for them to be put in a new page called "Episode Characters of Mom". They would all be listed, underneath their name would be which episode they appeared in and a little background (if possible). - If the Character is an Unseen Character, they must be listed under "
Unseen Characters
" category. If they are not, please do not list them under this category. Unseen Characters are rare, they are Characters that are mentioned by name but are never seen. These Characters must be deleted from this category, if, they physically appear in an episode after their name has been mentioned. - If the Character is an A.A. Member, they must be listed under "
A.A. Members
" category. If they are not, please do not list them under this category. A.A. Members attend Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings and they can be any type of Character.

With Season pages, they only contain one main Category, accompanied by the All Pages Category, "Content", the main Category is:
And I think it's pretty self-explanatory, BUT, if you're confused, the Seasons category, belongs to all Season pages, as "Season 1", "Season 2", "Season 3".
Episodes[]
Main[]
With Episode pages, there are main Categories, and they all correspond to Season pages. The Categories are listed below. One thing that should never happen is two Categories appearing on the same Episode page, because one episode cannot belong to two Seasons.
- Season 1 Episodes
- Season 2 Episodes
- Season 3 Episodes
- Season 4 Episodes
- Season Premieres - The first episode of a season.
- Season Finales - The last episode of a season.
These Categories are also self-explanatory, BUT, once again, if you don't understand, episodes in "Season 1" belong to the "Season 1 Episodes" Category, episodes in "Season 2" belong to the "Season 2 Episodes" Category and so on... Episodes that open/start a Season should be all categorized into "Season Premieres" and Episodes that close/end a Season should be all categorized into "Season Finales".
Crew[]
Main[]
With Crew pages, there are main Categories, and they are all listed below. A compulsory Category for Crew members is "Crew"
. So, Crew members can either be Writers, Producers, Directors, and/or all of them, and/or some of them.
Obviously,
- Writers are Crew members who write episodes. They should be added to the "
