Scope edit

The scope of this project is to coordinate the following works:

organise and sort Category:Higher education institutions and its subcategories
keep the top-categories Category:Higher education institutions, Category:Higher education institutions by country, etc. free of files

Category structure edit

For an individual university or college, this is the recommended category structure. "Wiki University" and similar names are used for example purposes. Key: Bold means that the category is expected for any university or college with a reasonably high number of files. Normal means that the category is optional and/or should be used only if applicable. Italics means that the category is disputed.
