SCD Categories

Introduction:
Hello, I’m Oro or luhcalmOro on YT and Tiktok. Anyway, I made this list of every
category which I see used in SCD edits. I made this a while back and then remembered
I made it. I use this as a tool to remember anything wherever I make edits. I share this
because it's not perfect. If any of you see a problem with any of the stuff below, do
message me in discord or comment on any of my socials. I want to make this as perfect
as possible. Some issues that may be apparent are but not limited to bad definition,
wrong placement of a category under a section, unclear doc, etc. Also, if there exists
other docs like this do let me know. Thank you if you read this and anything else on this
doc.
