Tagging System
For the OOC and IC comms, we want to keep tags clean, concise, and most of all...useful! For the IC comm we will make it so no tags can be added, with only the basics. We encourage you to use these tags at your leisure!

Intro
As for the IC comm, here are some guidelines for how tagging works:
‣ Omit the numbers in sequels ("MGS2" and "MGS3" both go under metal gear solid)
‣ Omit subtitles unless necessary, and abbreviate if wordy.
‣ Spin-offs get separate tags ("Metal Gear Rising" doesn't belong under metal gear solid)
‣ Games within a series that have little-to-no character crossing over and also has a subtitle...can have a separate tag! ("Fallout: New Vegas" does not go under the fallout tag.)
‣Try to use English tags if possible, unless the Japanese, etc. name of the series is more widely known.
‣Keep tags to letters, numbers, underscores, and colons only.
Some tags we've merged, added, and edited today:
[prototype] ‣ prototype
fallout 3 ‣ fallout
yugioh ‣ yugioh, yugioh: abridged, and yugioh: dotr
princess maker 2 ‣ princess maker

When we went through and tagged all the entries during the clean-up, we did initially tag Gekkou's with Yugioh: R (so it would filter under the Yugioh tag).
However, the same day we decided to merge it with the main YGO tag since even though it's technically a spin-off, it's still following the storyline and it's about as spin-offy as the YGO anime is to the YGO manga...which we don't bother with separate tags for either.
Mostly, we just want to keep tags neat and try to cut unnecessary ones out if we can, but also divide things up if it gets crowded.
