FW tags format standard
Now that JF has tags I've been tagging some of favorite FW posts, but now I've paused because there really should be a standard format for tags. Specifically, I'm wondering how individual fandoms should be tagged. For example, right now Bleach wanks are simply tagged "bleach", but could be tagged "fandom: bleach", or even "anime: bleach". I'm thinking that fandom tags should be prefixed with something, so that it's easy to tell them from non-fandom tags, and that it should be "fandom: bleach", so that wanks about Bleach anime filler episodes, wanks about recently released manga scanlations, and wanks about the musicals can all unambiguously go under one tag.

	I think "fandom: _____" works just fine. (Reply to this)

	That'd work, yeah. And otherwise use the same categories as the memories system uses? (Reply to this)

	I vote for "fandom: ________" as well. Going anime: bleach seems silly unless you were also going to start doing tags like book: Harry Potter. (Reply to this)

	I wonder if you really need "fandom:" at all. If you're tagging fandom_wank entries, aren't they all 'fandom'? If not, they would be posted in the off-shoot comms. (Perhaps you are tagging more than one community and I just misread in which case, disregard.) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I'm guessing the OP just wants to differentiate between fandom categories and descriptions of the wank. Like, an HP wank can be tagged as "fandom: harry potter", "plagiarism" and "sockpuppetry" and so forth. And if someone was searching the tags for a specific fandom, it's easier to find among the other descriptors. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I also vote for fandom: *** tags. (Reply to this)

	My question is, do we get funny mod tags for non-wank/wankitywank type things? I want those. (Reply to this)

	fandom::insert fandom here gets my vote. "bleach" is too general (could mean brain bleach, heh) (Reply to this)
