A '''container category''' is a [[WP:category|category]] that contains only [[WP:SUBCAT|subcategories]] rather than articles. These subcategories will normally themselves contain articles.<br />
<br />
For example, [[:Category:drummers by nationality]] is a container category, and contains only subcategories, such as [[:Category:British drummers]]. Articles on individual drummers are in the subcategories of this container category, for example British drummers are in the subcategory ''British drummers'', or in subcategories further down the tree.<br />
<br />
'''Containerization''' is a process of turning a regular category into a container category by splitting it using additional criteria. For example, nationality can be used as a criterion, as in the drummers example above.<br />
