Tags - an update concerning ongoing changes

Mar 03, 2012 18:34

As I've been working through tags, I've been consolidating some of the tags for entries that aren't stories. I've also been eliminating some that are either only used for one or two entries (particularly when they can be combined with others) or are used only in conjunction with other tags that are more readily descriptive of what they are.

One of the consolidated tags is "!non-fic" - this is where the tags for essays, discussion and commentary have been rolled into. As has one entry that's solely an announcement of a news item, rather than a promotion of something.

The "!announcement" tag has being eliminated - all but two entries were also tagged "!promo", which was more descriptive of their purpose. The other two, one was the above-mentioned entry, and the second was promoting an auction, and thus was re-tagged as "!promo".

The "!icons" tag has also been eliminated, and the sole entry tagged as such tagged as "!graphics".

In part this is because there is a limit to tags, and I'd prefer to have more open for fandoms. Part of this is decluttering where there were multiple tags with entries that are all very similar.

You may also notice tags being given their "fandom:" designation, and others gaining an exclamation mark at the beginning. Those that have gained the "fandom:" designation at the beginning are ones where I have gone through and made sure all the old entries are tagged with the appropriate "rating:" and "category:" tag (save for a couple rather large fandom tags). The fandoms with fewer entries are being dealt with first. The ones gaining an exclamation mark at the beginning are ones that are non-fandom tags that I've found while sorting.
