The third-level categories sort level 2 categories into subsets. Any level 3 or higher category should have at least '''four entries''', and if are three or less entries, they should just go into the overall category. For example, there is only one ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' video game for the Game Boy Color, ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula]]'', so a "Game Boy Color games" category should not be created for it | The third-level categories sort level 2 categories into subsets.

When placing a season or a game category (such as [[:Category:Season 2]] or [[:Category:SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom]]) on their actual article, add an asterisk after a pipelink, e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Category:Season 2|*]]</nowiki></code>. This rule also applies to pages pertaining to a specific game. For example, besides the ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom]]'' article, the [[List of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom pre-release and unused content]] must also have <code><nowiki>[[:Category:SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom|*]]</nowiki></code> placed on it. | |||
[[:Category:Console games|Console games]] and [[:Category:Handheld games|Handheld games]] categories are examples of level 3 categories, and while they can be applied to any article, they are especially intended consoles with minimal ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' games, such as ''SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula'' listed above. | |||

Therefore, categories such as [[:Category:Wii games|Wii games]] are classified as level 4. All game categories (e.g. [[:Category:SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom]]) are level 4 since their level 3 category is [[:Category:SpongeBob games]] (to distinguish from [[:Category:Nicktoons games]]). | ||
Note that episodes themselves '''cannot''' have their own level 4 category (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Category:Help Wanted]]</nowiki></code> under <code><nowiki>[[Category:Season 1]]</nowiki></code>) due to the sheer number of ''SpongeBob'' episodes and the redundancy this would cause. | Note that episodes themselves '''cannot''' have their own level 4 category (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Category:Help Wanted]]</nowiki></code> under <code><nowiki>[[Category:Season 1]]</nowiki></code>) due to the sheer number of ''SpongeBob'' episodes and the redundancy this would cause. |
