If I might be so bold as to suggest?
Since this thread has pretty much expanded to multiple pages, and the first post is going to be the first thing most people new to the thread might see, might I suggest an actual "standardization of tags" post, that lists each of the tags with their suggested topic associated with them? This way, someone can see "sci-fi" or scifi and know it is a science fiction based tag, while someone else can see that they don't need to use "science fiction" as the tag itself. By having the standardized list, people can at least attempt to use the standards and take it from there. So, suggestion is to go back and edit post #1 of this thread to include the standardized tags and their associated meanings.

I see that "q&a" is gaining prominence.

But not meaningfulness. IIRC it is nerdvanna's tag (I once thought it was yours, though). I have no idea what it should help us find, since most threads have both some questions and some answers . . .

Also, could you include a list of common abbreviations in the first post here, so that newcomers can determine what things like "df", "ss", and "pu" stand for? |

As for abbreviations, they're in the abbreviation thread at the sticky top of the subforum. |

What would be the correct set of tags for a magical style write-up? There doesn't seem to be an existing tag for magical styles. Should it be 'magical styles', 'thaumatology: magical styles' or what?

The former, because the latter is too long (might hit the char limit).

For the record, I just fixed a few "rpm" tags on threads to "ritual path magic" instead. Similarly, since two-letter tags are not supported, and "monster hunters" is already in use on several threads, I'd prefer to see that used instead of "MH_" or "[MH]" or any such odd tag. There's really no reason not to spell things out, after all.
(And note that there should be no issues with tagging threads related to the new Monster Hunters series versus tagging those related to the older Loadouts: Monster Hunters book -- because the latter was a spiritual successor to, and is more-or-less compatible with, the former.)

I see that we have both "sci-fi" and "sci fi" among our tags, an inconsistency for which I was as much responsible as anyone. "sci-fi" was rather more common, so I have replaced "sci fi" wherever I had added it.
