[meta] Standardizing Tags

[robkelk]

They're doing this over on the GURPS forum, and I though it was a good idea... especially since we aren't anywhere near as far into the process as they are.

Tags are useful for finding threads, but only if the tags are consistent - a mishmash of tags only helps Alaemon keep things secret. Thus, I propose a few standardized tags, based on what we've already got:

EDIT: Consolidated list here - keeping the old list as a historical artifact.


The category names from the In Nomine Collection, which should be obvious:

• artifacts
• discord
• roles
• skills
• songs
• weapons
• tips
• theories
• resources (which is a superset of artifacts, roles, skills, songs, attunements, and distinctions)
• humor

Terms that already have specific meaning in IN:

• canon for discussion that follows the Rules As Written; heretical for discussion that diverges radically from canon.
• superiors for any discussion about one or more Superiors. Add a specific Superior's name as a separate tag.
• word-bound for any discussion about one or more Word-Bound. Add a specific Word-Bound's name as a separate tag.
• a particular Choir or Band name for discussion of that Choir or Band.
• attunements for discussion of one or more attunements. Add a specific attunement's name as a separate tag.
• character for posting characters.
• setting for posting settings, or links to settings.
• cdau for matters of Canon Doubt and Uncertainty.

And, finally, meta for discussions (like this one) that are about the forum or the regulars instead of about the game.
