==Adding your own Anime Tags== | |||
===Tagname - Lower-case / British English=== | |||
Differing from ''category names'' (e.g. "Violent Retribution for Accidental Infringement" or "Sudden Girlfriend Appearance") that use a ''book title caps'' spelling, the '''anime tags''' are '''spelled lower-case''' by default in '''British English'''! | |||
====Tagname Rules==== | |||
To ensure tag naming consistency, please abide by these rules: | |||
* Tag names are basically all '''lower-case''', just like they would be used in sentences. | |||
* Countries / languages: E.g. Spain, French, Japanese | |||
* '''Abbreviations''' are kept all ''upper-case'', e.g. SMS, CG, OP, ED, 3D. | |||
* '''Names''' (e.g. movies, book titles): Cap the first letter of the names, e.g. Blade Runner, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? | |||
* '''Japanese words''' are spelled all ''upper-case''. | |||
* Avoid: | |||
# redundant use of existing '''category names''' - set the category instead! | |||
# redundant use of '''character tags''', e.g. character names, voice actors, directors, anime specific organisations, fannames, etc. | |||
# all upper-case tag names, e.g. NEVER -> never | |||
# avoid excessive use of ! or ?, e.g. blah!!! -> blah! | |||
* Please try to be objective when creating tags names, e.g. "this show is crap" will certainly not help and be deleted. | |||
===Description=== | |||
When adding a new tag name, please add a description text as well. This helps all the users out there understand why you defined the tag, and will make your tags all the more valuable and useful: | |||
* Use '''British English''' (no fancy casing)! | |||
* Try to describe the intent / meaning of your tag as clearly as possible. | |||
Note: Tag maintainers are much more likely to delete an obscure tag that does not have a description. | |||
===Global Spoiler? / Local Spoiler?=== | |||
A tag can very well be a huge spoiler. To avoid giving away information you can either check mark it as a ''global spoiler'' (tag name is always considered to be a spoiler) or as a ''local spoiler'' (tag name is only a giveaway for the current anime). | |||
===Creq Comment=== | |||
When suggesting a tag name change, add a descriptive comment in the text box explaining your reasons. | |||
