Tagging Guide

Tagging on World Anvil is an art! Here is how I use tags to organise my content for my world.
Because tagged lists will pick up words included in the tag, they have to be uniquely crafted so nothing crosses over (a tagged list requesting 'farmer' would pull in tags like 'farm'). I find the best approach to this is to use a coded shorthand to prefix the tags so they won't ever be picked up by another tagged list.
After yet another tagging change I have discovered using one-letter shorthand did not end up working as well as I wanted, I am starting to switch to a 2 letter shortcode system for greater flexibility.
I use the hyphen to separate the shortcode from the tag text as well as to indicate spaces in names.
Some tags might need further subcategories and I will add an extra word or two-letter shortcode to demonstrate this. For example, I have a DM Screen article with several private lists and I prefix these lists with the shortcode dm, dm-ps is my shortcode for Dungeon Master Playable Species.
Locations are grouped by region to break up tagged lists a bit. The town of Djornn belongs to the realm of the keep so would be tagged to-rotk rather than to-rayas.
