=== Product line articles ===
 
[[File:Product line category.png|thumbnail|Product line '''articles''' belong to their corresponding category. Product line '''categories''' can belong to multiple categories, each of which can also belong to multiple categories, with the top level ones belonging to the [[:Category:Products|'''Products''']] category. '''A product line's category page should belong to the manufacturer's category page.''']]
Product line '''articles''' belong to their respective category. For example, the [[Google Pixel]] article belongs to <code><nowiki>[[Category:Google Pixel]]</nowiki></code>.
 
=== Product line categories ===
 
==== Rules ====
 
A product line's category page should belong to the manufacturer's category page. For example, [[:Category:Google Pixel]] should belong to [[:Category:Google]].
 
Product line '''categories''' are also categorized [[:Category:Products|by type]]. To avoid confusion, they are categorized based on the categories on Wikipedia.
 
When transferring the categories from Wikipedia, the following apply:
* Categories must describe the type of product.
* Categories do not contain extra information unrelated to the product type. This extra information should be omitted.
* Categories that belong to the "Products by type" category on Wikipedia belong to the [[:Category:Products|Products]] category on this wiki.
* Categories are sourced from the following pages on Wikipedia if they exist:
** Any product's article.
** That product's corresponding category.
** The product line's article.
** That product line's corresponding category.
 
==== Example ====
 
As an example, consider the Google Pixel product line. Categories can be sourced from the following articles on Wikipedia:
* Pixel 4a
* Category:Pixel 4a (does not exist; skip)
* Google Pixel
* Category:Google Pixel
 
The categories on Wikipedia follow. These categories should be modified according to the rules outlined above.

[[File:Screenshot of Google Pixel categories on Wikipedia.png|474x28px]]
[[File:Screenshot of Category-Google Pixel categories on Wikipedia.png|596x28px]]
 
The following categories do not describe a type of product:
* Google hardware
* Computer-related introductions in 2013
 
Here are a few categories with extra information removed:
* Discontinued smartphones → <code><nowiki>[[Category:Smartphones]]</nowiki></code>
* Mobile phones introduced in 2020  → <code><nowiki>[[Category:Mobile phones]]</nowiki></code>
