Card Types are a powerful tool for organizing information on Wagn. Every card has a type, and that type shapes what kind of information goes into each card. Except on cards of the default type "[[Basic]]", a card's type appears to the right of its card's name in the header.

There are several built-in types, like [[Images]], [[Files]], [[Phrases]], and [[Pointers]], which let you enter special kinds of information. When you edit an [[Image]] card, for example, you get an upload button. When you edit a Phrase card, you get a small box.
You can also create new types on the fly (see [[/wagn/card_type#How%20To|How to]] below).
Except on cards of the default type "[[Basic]]", a card's type appears to the right of its card's name in the header.
Types are often used as a way to identify a group of the same kinds of things together. To get a bit fancier, [[Wagneers]] often like to [[formatting|format]] all the cards of a certain type. For example, on Wagn.org, all the [[User]] cards have a custom format.
