Department

There are three uses for the department

  1. Append "source" to each as a category (or collection of categories) for the various books, magazines, and PDFs. For example, [[Category: Ship source]] or [[Category: Deck Plan source]].
  2. Use these items as the Department for each entry in the Table of Contents.
  3. Select one as a primary, what the majority of the book is about or the focus of the publication and add that to the Infobox. Give each publication a broad category of what it is about.

The idea here would be to select the one most specific department that applies to the chapter or article. Suggested list of Departments to use:
