==Adding your own Tags==
'''Tags''' are per user based categories/grouping options. For a quick overview see the {{AniDBLink|taglist|Top 500 Tags}} on AniDB.
 
==Implementation==
Currently fully implemented, suggestions on improvement are welcome.
 
You can:
:* add tags to an anime
:* vote up or down for a tag
:* list anime with the same tags
:* request edit/delete for tags
:* blacklist tags
:* mark tags as spoiler (per anime or globally)
 
 
==Adding your own Anime Tags==
===Tagname - Lower case / British English===
Differing from ''category names'' (e.g. <tt>Violent Retribution for Accidental Infringement</tt>) that use ''[[Capitalization|book title caps]]'' spelling, the '''anime tags''' are '''spelled lower case''' by default (this is a simplification, see rules below), in '''British English'''!

:* redundant use of existing '''category names''' - set the category instead!
:: character names, voice actors, directors, fannames, etc.
:* redundant use of '''character tags''', e.g.
:: character names, voice actors, directors, anime specific organisations, fannames, etc.
:* all upper-case tag names, e.g.

===Group - Tag Groups===
{{eyecatch|1|Work in Progress|As we speak all this is changing...}}
{{eyecatchLight|1|Administrative|The new '''tag groups''' are strictly administrative, please ignore this section if you are a normal user.}}
:Let's Tag Maintainers / Mods / etc. assign a group name to the current anime tag. Should help better find certain types of tags, i.e. those belonging to a certain group. These tag groups are presently available:
:; select an appropriate group : Group name has not yet been set, please choose one, if you can.
:; accessories-tools-mechanics : ... <br>''Examples: ...''
:; character-related : The anime tag is character related, meaning it has something to do with the characters in the anime, be it names, abilities, character traits, profession etc. [add more examples]<br>''Examples: ...'' 
:; dialogue : Sayings, expressions, etc. related to some character dialogue (This would technically also fit the character-related group). <br>''Examples: faito!, ...''
:; ending : How does the anime end, usually related to tags with global or local spoilers.<br>''Examples: ...''
:; episodes : Tags related to content that spans (complete) episodes ("foo2: I think?!").<br>''Examples: pool episode, beach episode, onsen episode, ...'' 
:; judgemental : All tags that are *not* objective and represent some "personal" opinion. As a pointer all tags that use the words ''great'', ''awesome'', ''good'', ''bad'', etc. are judgemental.<br>''Examples: great OP, awesome ED, ...''
:; settings : These should normally be covered by the categories, but should an anime tag describe a setting this is the group to use.<br>''Examples: ...''

Not verified tags won't be shown anywhere except for the edit pages!
 
:Allows the flagging of tags as verified (whatever that actually means).
 
 
===Alias (1 alias per line)===
{{eyecatchLight|1|Administrative|This section is strictly administrative, please ignore this section if you are a normal user.}}
 
:Up to now it did not make much sense to have several anime tags basically meaning the same, so these redundant tags were blacklisted (removed from the tag list). Now it is possible to assign several '''aliases''' to one '''main tag'''.
 
:''Example 1: Allow singular and plural tag names to be aliased: female androids (main tag) <-> female android (alias).''
:''Example 2: ... [more examples needed]...''
