Detailed Tagging
Last updated June 24, 2026While extra tagging is somewhat optional it's still desired to tag as much as possible on every pattern. Getting into the nitty-gritty details helps for better sorting of patterns when there's many of the same type or when looking for specific elements. The is effectively just refining by adding descriptors instead of generalized grouping.
| Tag Category | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Non-Pattern Elements | Anything that isn't the pattern itself that is included on the page. | Title block, Instructions, Watermark, Business Logo |
| Specifics of Topic | This is where the tagging system shines, when tagging topics you will likely generalize like "Animal" and "Lizard" but going further with this can raise the tag quality quickly. Like specifying multiples, exact species, poses and similar. | Sitting, Frilled Lizard, Upside down, Open mouth, Legs, Tongue, Lizards, Frogs |
| Colors | On patterns that are colored, including the colors can be useful though not terribly important. | Orange, Pink, Blue. |
