Structure

Tag Entry

A tag entry consists of a name (and aliases if necessary), an image, a description and whether it should be restricted (mostly because of the image). Tag entries will be used as building blocks in the Tag Tree section.

Naming 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 with British English spelling, e.g.

anything can be awesome, creepy Gothic architecture.

• Reminder: Countries / languages start with a capital 1st letter, i.e.

Spain, French, Japanese.

• Abbreviations are kept all upper case, e.g.

SMS, CG, OP, ED, 3D.

• Full sentences begin in upper case, just like any sentence would.

Where`s my story?

• Names as in movies or book titles use Book Title Capitalization, e.g.

Blade Runner, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

• Japanese words are spelled all lower case, e.g.

sakura, henshin, onii-chan.

Avoid:

character names, voice actors, directors, fannames, etc.

• all upper-case tag names, e.g.

FOOBAR -> foobar

• avoid excessive use of ! or ?, e.g.

foobar!!! -> foobar!

Note	Please try to be objective when creating tag names, e.g. "this show is crap" will certainly not help and be deleted.

Examples: great OP song, Japanese mythology, tsundere, engaged to an alien, Weekly Shounen Jump

Descriptions

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.
• Use complete sentences, e.g. "Japanese for transformation (metamorphosis or disguise)."
• Please do not simply copy the tag name into the description field. This is redundant spam.

If you happen to see a tag without a description, feel free to add your own. Help make the anime tags more descriptive!

Note	Tag maintainers are much more likely to delete an obscure tag that does not have a description.
