Proposal regarding post tags for c/anime and c/manga
Proposal regarding post tags for c/anime and c/manga
Here are current recommended (but optional) tags for c/anime:
[DISC]or[Discussion]for general discussion/question posts[WT!]Watch This! posts with a recommendation/review[Clip]a video clip post[News]for news and updates[Spoiler]for discussions with spoilery content - indicate the series that is being spoiled
Here are the ones for c/manga:
[Discussion],[DISC]- chapter discussion threads[Art]- Official art from a series or author, OC fan-art is also allowed[News]- news updates about series, authors, publishers, etc.[RT!]- Read This! posts are posts in which you recommend a series to others. Please provide a short review and information about the series as well.
IMO these guidelines could use some updates.
Here are my suggestions:
| anime | manga | rationale |
|---|---|---|
| [Episode] | [Chapter] | Makes it clear the thread is about a newly-released episode / chapter |
| [Clip] | [Art] | Keep as is; small snippet regarding the anime / manga |
| [Recommendation] | [Recommendation] | For any posts asking for a recommendation, or posts that recommend an anime or manga; replaces WT! and RT!; see below for fine-grained alternatives |
| [Community] | [Community] | For any posts that start a general discussion in the community (e.g. your favorite anime / manga); alternatively: [General] |
| [Spoiler] | [Spoiler] | Keep as is |
| [Meta] | [Meta] | For posts regarding the community itself; for posts like this |
If the proposed [Recommendation] has to be more fine-grained:
| anime | manga | rationale |
|---|---|---|
| [Watch This!] | [Read This!] | Same as before; for posts recommending others to watch this anime / read this manga |
| [Review] | [Review] | For reviews of an anime / manga |
| [Recommendation] | [Recommendation] | For posts specifically asking for recommendations |
The [Discussion] tag was excluded because if you think about it, every post is a discussion thread.
This proposal applied to c/anime and c/manga because there is likely a significant overlap between these two communities; would be nice to keep them aligned.
The final set of tags doesn't have to follow this proposal exactly; thought this could make a good starting point.
What are your thoughts?
