The difference between a [[Glossary:Branch|branch]] and a '''category''' is that a '''category''' is associated with [[Glossary:Template|templates]], and other parameters. Only a few [[Glossary:Branch|branches]] are made into '''categories'''. This way, when you switch between '''categories''', you have fewer choices on the list, which is more convenient.<br />Note that when you delete a '''category''' from the category [[Glossary:Registry|registry]], its [[Glossary:Branch|tree branches]] are not deleted.
