Before rolling out the new tagging system, provide a clear, unambiguous definition for every tag.

[igenetycs]

This includes every content tag, format tag, genre tag, and theme tag.

If the tags are undefined (loli, as a recent thread shows), or poorly defined (yuri, as another recent thread shows), they will end up being used inaccurately and inadequately.

@igenetycs What new tagging system?

@Plykiya
I think @igenetycs is referring to the result of that one thread about Yuri and Shoujo-ai and tags. I knew that issue would escalate.

Spoiler

ESCALATION FTW!

@kenx Well, redoing sexual content ratings won't affect any other tag. Still not sure why we would need full definitions for stuff like "action" or "isekai" to determine if something has sexual content or not

@Plykiya
Trying to expand on where the OP just provided biased examples, I believe a consistent site-wide definition of each tag would be useful in general for scanlators and users. _{Even if nobody ever bothers to read the fine print.}
But I think I remember (?) reading that it was a planned feature somewhere, so yay.

@kenx We'll be coming up with tag definitions at a later date. https://mangadex.org/thread/195981/2/#post_1418028
