(Partially) fixing the tag system

[lobo85]

Are there tags that operate as modifiers? If so it might be useful to create a tag called All Media Types to be used with franchises with more than one medium such as anime/animated series manga/comics, books/light novels, TV/Movies or a large amount of spinoffs, au's and alt timelines etc. such as Gundam or fate to make tags that seperate them by timeline or universe ie Gundam (Universal Century) or Fate (Kaleid Liner).

Nope.

Alright, end of the feedback period, and the start of processing the fourth batch.

I'm also planning to write up a better preface for the Suggested Tags threads. At the moment, it's a roughly sorted list of tags and a bunch of links to resources in this thread. It would be useful to have it open with a concise 'why tags are useful' (rather than just the word 'optional', as it is now, which isn't exactly a winning pitch), and some framework to work with when picking tags. I have some ideas for what I want to say, but I'll probably workshop it till the end of the feedback period, and then include it in the 'starting to merge/synonymise' notice.

This is my draft for the text surrounding the category lists:

This thread has the Canonised tags for specific elements, updating and somewhat curated. You can find a longer list here, how the tag system works here, and all Synonym groups here. The tags you use and number thereof are at your discretion, but you have 30 slots you can fill.

If you're unsure of which tags you should use, I'd advise tagging the elements included in your story that you'd want tagged, as a reader. Looking through the lists below should hopefully help provide ideas, but if you've included something that's quite niche or hard to find, and you want more of it, I encourage tagging that too. Hopefully use encourages use, and search will become more useful for you and likeminded.

The categories are a bit arbitrary at the edges, but that's okay.

Feedback can be posted in the (partially) fixing the tag system thread. If you've created a tag you want to be linked to another Canonical tag, request it there.
