Tags
Tags are short descriptors used in order to describe a post. Posts are typically tagged with multiple tags to build up a description of the post that enables it to be searched for. For example, a post may be tagged with trigam_(artist), amber_(character), etc.
Tags have specific formatting so they’re able to be parsed, and may not work when not formatted correctly. Tags have a name and type, with the formatting as follows: <name>_(<type>). So, for spurhuns_(artist), the name would be spurhuns and the type would be artist.
Other important formatting guidelines:
- Tags should always be completely lowercase, with no uppercase letters. This is mostly just for aesthetics rather than function.
- (
home-con_(character)instead ofHome-Con_(Character))
- (
- Tags should have no spaces whatsoever, as tags are seperated by spaces. Spaces should instead be replaced with underscores (
_).- (
spook_lass_(artist)instead ofspook lass_(artist))
- (
- Tags should only contain alpha-numeric characters, meaning no special characters like
@,&,*, etc.- (
ben_and_jerrys_(object)instead ofben_&_jerry's_(object))
- (
