Examples: Category:Active Amtgard Chapter, Category:Defunct Amtgard Chapter

Kingdom affiliation

Chapters should be categorized by both kingdom sponsorship, if any, and current association with that sponsorship. Parks which were once part of one kingdom but are now a part of another (or are now a freehold) should be listed as such. Defunct chapters should be listed as "defunct" chapters of their last kingdom affiliation instead of "former" chapters, unless they changed affiliation before becoming defunct.
Examples: Category:Active Freeholds, Category:Active Celestial Kingdom Chapters, Category:Former Burning Lands Chapters

Real world location

Chapters should be listed according to their real world location, by US state. Chapters outside of the US should instead be listed by country. They should also be listed by activity levels.
Examples: Category:Active Louisiana Chapters, Category:Defunct Virginia Chapters

Chapter size
