+<h1>Question categories</h1>
+
+<p>Rather than keeping all your questions in one big list,
+ you can create categories to keep them in.</p>
+
+<p>Categories can be created or deleted at will. But :
+<ul><li> There must be at least one category in each context. So you
+cannot delete the last category in a context.</li>
+<li>When you try to delete a category containing
+ questions, then you will be asked to specify another
+ category to move them to.</li></ul></p>
+
+<p>You can arrange your categories in a hierarchy so
+ that they are easier to manage. Editing categories is done under the 'Categories'
+ tab in the question bank.</p>
+
+ <ul><li>On the main page under the 'Categories' tab in the question bank :
+ <ul><li>the up and down
+ arrow keys change the order in
+ which categories which are peers of each other are listed.</li>
+ <li>Under the 'Categories' tab in the question bank, you can also move a category
+ to a new context with the up / down arrows.</li>
+ <li>The left and right arrows are used to
+ change the parent category of a category.</li></ul></li>
+ <li>A possibly quicker way to move categories is to click on the edit
+ icon in the 'Categories' tab in the question bank and then use the category
+ select box to select a new parent category.</li></ul></p>

+<h2>Question Category Contexts</h2>
+<p>Question categories are seperated into different contexts from Moodle 1.9.
+Each different context has a seperate question category heirarchy.
+Question category contexts are : </p>
+<ul>
+<li>Activity context : questions only available to one activity module.</li>
+<li>Course context : questions available to all activity modules in a course and
+within the course from the 'Questions' link in the course administration block.</li>
+<li>Course category contexts : questions available to all activity modules and courses in the course category (remember one course category can contain other course categories, you can share
+your questions in any or all of the parent course categories).</li>
+<li>Core System context : questions available in all courses and activities on your site.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>You will not be able to see / use the contexts from categories above course level unless your site admin has given you permission to do so.</p>

+<h2>Parent</h2>
+
+<p>The category in which this one will be placed. 'Top' means that this category
+is not contained in any other category.</p>
+
+<p>Normally you will see several category 'contexts' which you will see in bold type, notice
+that each context contains it's own category hierarchy. See below for more info on contexts. If you
+do not see several contexts then it may be because you do not have permission to access other contexts.</p>
+
+<p>If there is only one category in a context, you will not be able to move the category as there must be
+at least one category in each context.</p>

+<h2>Question permissions</h2>
+
+<p>By default a course teacher does not have permission to do anything with
+questions shared in areas outside the course in which they are assigned a teacher
+role. So if you are a teacher and your site admin has not assigned you permission
+to share or use questions shared in levels above the course level you will not
+see questions categories above the course level. There is more information
