amiibo Category Setup: The Slugs You Need for a Clean Pillar Structure
With strictCategoryMapping enabled, imports fail silently or partially when category slugs are missing. This page defines a clean category set for amiibo: one hub, four pillars, and scalable cluster buckets.
Recommended Core Slugs (Minimal)
- amiibo (hub)
- amiibo-basics (pillar)
- amiibo-games (pillar)
- amiibo-buying (pillar)
- amiibo-collecting (pillar)
Recommended Cluster Slugs (Scale)
- compatibility
- unlock-guides
- editions
- grading
- storage
- market
- news
How to Use Them (Simple Rules)
- Each post has one primary categorySlug (pillar or bucket).
- Use 1–2 secondary categories for cross-navigation (e.g., market + grading).
- Every post includes 3–5 internal links back to hub/pillars.
Rule: keep category slugs stable. Changing slugs later breaks internal links and import updates-by-slug patterns.
