# Creating a category

Categories are stored in `categories.yml`. On older versions of Quests
they were stored in the main `config.yml`; quests will read categories
from `config.yml` if a `categories.yml` file is not present.

## Category ID

inside a category.

## Display

### Name

### Lore

  
*`display.lore`*

### Type

## Permission required

within it. This permission will follow this format:
`quests.category.<category>`\`.

## Hidden
