Help:Categories

This page lists all categories and sub-categories on SGUTranscripts.org.

Content Categories

Content categories are used to identify the content of episode transcripts. It should be noted that none of these categories are mutually exclusive.

Topics

The following topic categories are based on those used in the Rogues Gallery at the NESS. This means that if we're unsure how to categorize items, we can see how they've done it, as they've probably blogged about the item in question.
