Imput Please
I'm wanting to get back to making sure the older entries contain all the tags needed, but I need the help of the minions. The first thing I need help with is figuring out what tags are redundant, and whether a few tags need adding. The second thing I need help with is going through the older entries to make sure they contain all the necessary tags for said entry - since I've come to Pottersues a few new tags have come up. Currently tags fall into the following categories.
General - I am currently denoting these categories with the “-” mark, but I am thinking I perhaps should use a “#” instead and leaving out the space.
Creature - Sometimes we get Mary Sues or Gary Stus which are a certain kind of creature. The only change made since I came over was to place a “c” at the beginning.
Canon Sues - When I took over Pottersues the tags were a mess. What's now marked as “CS Hermione” was marked as “Hermione Sue”, and what was marked as “CS Ginny” was marked as “Ginny Sue”. These tags ended up buried among the creature tags, and traits which described what a Sue was.
Ethnicity Sues - I decided to add tags denoting a Sues ethnic/racial background because a lot of Sues during the week I did Wizards of Waverly place crossovers were Hispanic, and I realized the writer's related to the female characters who were Hispanic because they themselves were Hispanic. There were already tags for Native American sues, and I figured some of the people reading the blog would like to find Sues of their own cultural backgrounds. I also wanted a way to celebrate Sues of different ethnic backgrounds.
Power/Trait - These two tag types used to be divided into three categories, but in reality I found one of the categories didn't work. There also seems to be an overlap of between certain tags even between the Power and Trait categories. I'm wanting to now divide them up as “ability”, “occupation”, “magic type”, “object”, “physical trait”, and “personality trait”. I'm thinking though there might be some better names for these tags, so I'll give the basic requirements for each.
Related to - Rather self explanitory - one of two tags I really didn't change since taking over Pottersues.
Week - Again - rather self explanitory - second tag I really didn't change.
Ability tags are various powers one or more of the Sues may have - this tag also covers real world abilities like academics, athleticism, artistic creativity. Occupational tags are occupations a character may have like being the new teacher or new student to the series. This said some new tags may need to be added depending on the entry. Magic Type would cover enchantress, druid and such. Objects include special objects a character may have. Physical and Personality Traits covers a Sues physical and psychological traits. I'm thinking Looks and Ego may be better names for these tags. I also need to know if I should lengthen the creature tag to say creature, and CS to say Canon Sue. I originally shortened the tag to CS to cover both Sues and Stus, but the actual term is Canon Sue.
The reorganized tags would look like this.
