b2memThere are tags! Which is very exciting. We are behind on tagging entries, but working on catching up. In order to make the volunteer taggers' job a little easier, I have a couple of requests:
Consider selecting your tags from the list rather than typing them in (or else checking carefully), because it's really easy to make typos or just type something inconsistently -- and then we have card:landscapes as well as card:landscape until the taggers fix it.
Please don't put a space after the colon. It's not that number: b10 is inherently wrong, but Dawn chose at the beginning to make the format number:b10, without the space -- and the tags need to be in the same format, or else clicking on the tag won't bring up all the stories, and that would be sad.
Thanks! Now back to your regularly scheduled writing! -Zdenka, who should really be asleep now. :-) (Oh, and if anyone else wants to join the tagging, there is plenty of work to do.)
ETA: This post refers to if you decide to tag your entries yourself, which some people have been and some haven't. If you don't, the taggers will get there sooner or later. :-) Not-a-mod, but please do whatever is comfortable for you.

Date: 2012-03-09 06:37 pm (UTC)One problem with the tags, I think, is that while the tags list and the edit tags field display the correct tag format, i.e. without the space, the select tags popup you can use at entry creation still displays all the wrongly formatted tags, so it's still quite easy to make mistakes. Here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/ladyelleth/tagslist.jpg)'s a screenshot to explain what I'm trying to say.

Much to my chagrin near the beginning, when I was making all sorts of mistakes in tags and could replace but not delete them! So unless Dawn has had time to delete some of those, I daresay a bunch of the incorrect variants were originally mine. *hangs head* Wait, no, I'm going to follow
