A note on tagging of posts

[miss_s_b]

I've just done a bunch of tidying up of the tags for this comm, because we were/are hoping to keeps tags useful for ingredient searches etc. As you know, only mods can add/edit tags. This is so that we don't get a bunch of tags for the same thing that then have to be merged (such as "bread", "breads", "loaves", "toast", "toasties", etc. All of which are now "bread and bread products"). With all that in mind:

• Please only use the challenge tag during the week of the challenge. For "revisited" posts, tag with the appropriate ingredient/cuisine/course etc.
• If you see a post which doesn't have the appropriate tags feel free to add them, especially if it could be tagged vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free.
• If a new tag is added that you feel might fit one of your old recipe posts, do feel free to go back and add it
• Don't be surprised if your entry suddenly sprouts a bunch of new tags you didn't put on it as new tags get added

Thanks in advance for your help with this xxx (a version of the above has been added to the comm profile).

Also, by request of pseudomonas, new challenges will all be tagged "!modpost". This will make it look like there are a lot of modposts in the tags, but it will also mean that anyone who wants to be notified of challenges (and the very rare important community announcements) can do so easily. Also if you want to be notified of any of the other comm tags, this is easy too, just in case you only want to know about recipes for/including "drinks: alcoholic" (to pick an example totally at random).

ETA: Any suggestions that this has been done for a combination of making myself feel better about the 1141 random and sprawling tags on my own DW, and making you all spell banana like Nanny Ogg are... well, completely accurate, to be honest.

If you spell it bananana you have to go "do do de do do" in response.

Sorry if I tag stuff wrong but I am QUITE OLD and not that good at internetting.

Couldn't find a Reduced Cabinet in Sainsbury's but I will look in Co Op tommorrow.

Sainsbury's, IME, tend to have lots of little reduced cabinets, practically one per aisle, but hidden away so you have to look for them; Tescos usually have a fridge one, a bread one and a not-fridge one, and they're normally in a pretty obvious place.

The Kwop (as my mother would pronounce it) tend to go down the Tesco route.

(don't worry if you tag stuff wrong, these things can be easily sorted out :) )

Thanks, I will do my best!
