Since more than a year now we are using tags and I think quite successfully.
Now I introduce a new addon-feature: tag-groups.
###Local Communities
For now we created one tag group with the parent tag #localcommunities and I added all the names of the communities as of the address book into that group.
Could some regulars please check if they can tag those posts with the corresponding tag? It should only be possible if you first add the #localcommunities tag.
###Unique Tags
Then there is another tag group for unique tags that only mods can give to topics. These tags are used to quickly link to a certain topic.
Could some regular please check if they can e.g. use the tag #batteryguide? It should not be possible to do that unless you use the #staff tag first and that should only be usable for mods and admins.
If you want to have a new unique tag created so another certain topic can be linked to more easily just ask me or another mod to set it up.
###Dictionary
Next I will split up the dictionary and give all the entries their own unique tag so everybody can quickly link to the explanations of words like adb, hard reset and recovery.
###More Groups
Are there any other tag groups you think we need? Let us know.
When a mod sets up a tag group we can:
- Create a parent tag. These have to be added before being able to add a tag from that group. (E.g. you couldn’t use the tag #17.01 unless you used #openos before if we were to set it up like this)
- Restrict to one tag per group. (E.g. we could create a group for post-types and make sure you can’t tag one topic with #wiki & #poll)
- Create sub groups. I think! But maybe that would be to confusing.
