Namespaces & Tags

As mentioned earlier, the use of namespaces is required when tagging comics. The user must also choose which namespaces a tag is applicable to. That means that in order for the qualified tag female:love interest to appear as a valid selection, the following must be true:

  1. The namespace female must exist.

  2. The tag love interest must exist.

  3. The tag love interest must specify female as a valid namespace.

Note

Qualified tags that are subsequently rendered invalid will not automatically be removed from comics. Whilst the qualified tag can no longer be selected in the editing or filtering interface, it can still be removed from the comic manually.

Namespace sorting

Namespaces may be configured with a “sort name”. This name will be used when sorting lists of namespaces or qualified tags. If no such name is given, the namespace name is used for sorting instead.

Tag descriptions

Tags may be annotated with a custom description that further explains how the tag should be used. This description will be displayed as a tooltip when hovering over a qualified tag.

Qualified tag display

When selecting from a list, qualified tags are displayed by combining the namespace and tag with a colon, like female:love interest. In all other contexts, qualified tags are rendered as small pills that contain the tag name only. A small number of namespaces have special handling, however: female, male, trans, mixed, and location. These are displayed with a specific colour and icon.
