This is your comprehensive guide to tagging your entry here at
twilightmanips. We ask that our members tag their own entries instead of making the moderators take the uneccessary time and energy to add or change tags.
There are 4 main categories of tags: character, pairing, type, and user:
1) Character is to be used when only a single character is in the manipulation. For example, in
this post the member had one manipulation of Bella and one of Rosalie. Therefore, the correct character tags for her entry were character: bella swan and character: rosalie hale. By comparison,
in this post there were several manipulations of Bella and several of Bella/Edward. Since there were no individual manipulations of Edward, however, the correct character tag here is only character: bella swan.
2) Pairing is to be used when 2-3 characters are in a manipulation together. This does not have to be a romantic relationship (for example, we have a tag
pairing: bella/renesmee). If you have a manipulation of Edward/Bella, then the proper tag is pairing: edward/bella (you should no longer add character: bella swan and character: edward cullen). From now on, only the pairing tag is necessary.
3) Type is to be used to express what type of art is in the post. Every post should include either type: manipulation or type: movie poster, since that's what this community is about. If you have made icons, wallpapers, etc. out of the manipulation you may add those tags also (e.g. type: wallpaper). If you have made icons for a different fandom or have made wallpapers out of different Twilight pictures, you may type a mention in your post, but please do not tag your entry with those types of graphics you did not make from the manipulation.
4) User tags should be very easy, but people often forget it. Please type user: yourusername so that if someone is a fan of your art, they can easily access your previous posts. If you are a new member, you will not be able to add a new tag for yourself, so the moderators will have to do it. It would help us if you could write a note at the end of your post, saying something like "Hi, new poster here" or even "I need a user tag please" but we won't be upset if you forget that part.
The only other tag that members should use is the introduction tag. If you are a new member and are filling out the new member form from the profile page, please add the tag introduction to your post.
Additionally for movie posters and larger manipulations:
Recently we have added the tag
character: the cullens. This tag is to be used for movie posters
like this or large manipulations like
this one which have most of the Cullen family/siblings. This is much easier and simplier than writing out the name of each character. So please be advised of the new tag character: the cullens.
If you have any questions about this tagging system or need something clarified, please feel free to comment here and I will do my best to explain and then update this post.
