[MEGATHREAD] Tags Suggestions

[kouyo]

This thread is for suggesting and discussing new tags to be implemented in MangaDex. To suggest a new tag, please follow the guidelines below.

Guidelines:​

1. Your tag should represent a broad theme or concept that applies to a wide range of content. Providing examples is encouraged to clarify where it would be used.
2. Tags should be clear, easy to understand. Try to avoid suggesting tags that are too abstract or based on niche references that might confuse others.
3. Avoid suggesting tags that could closely overlap with existing ones. If unsure, check our Tags Definition for guidance, ask if you're still unsure.
4. Provide a clear explanation of the tag's purpose and what type of content it is meant to categorize.
5. Tags should primarily focus on describing content itself, such as its themes, genres, or storytelling structure. Tags that focus on external conditions or processes are not in line with this rule. Other types of tags may be accepted, provided they help users identify the reading structure or navigational format of the content.
6. Tags promoting content that violates site rules won't be accepted.

Important:​

Anything falling under the banner of "porn tags" is currently pending a tag rework. We're in need of a system for categorizing these tags that will allow us to flag them appropriately and segregate them from the main list of tags.

---

Below is a list of suggested tags that meets the previous requirements. This is not a list of tags that we will add. Only if the tag meets the requirements, it will be added to the list. Porn tags are excluded from this list.

Suggested tags:​

• Age Gap
• Childcare
• Idols
• Economics
• Educative
• Short Comics
• Kingdom
• Enterprise
• Cute Girls Doing Cute Things (CGDCT)
• Maid
• Banishment/Abandoned Protagonist
• Farming/Agriculture
• Child Abuse
• Power Fantasy
• Game Elements
• Romantic Subtext
• Iyashikei
• Journey
• Dungeon Crawl
• Politics
• Robots
• Kemonomimi

What's the difference between romance and romantic subtext?

google it

 

[Hicleric]

I was literally just about to post a suggestion for a "parenting" tag when I saw this thread. While "parenting" does create the impression it's meant to be limited to parent-child, I see it as more focused on the [character]-child relationship rather than the practical aspects of "childcare"

Regardless of what term is ultimately used, I strongly advocate for a tag like this since the default slice-o'-life tag is just too broad to help look for it

 

[Briarofmaharlika18]

i completely agree. a category should be added for bl and gl subtexts (bromance, homoeroticism, queerbait) for there are a lot of publishers that put josei/shoujo genres which is highly misleading for readers. LGBTQ+ themes should be taken considerably.

No Vore Tag​

Mangadex apparently does not have a Vore tag.

 

[BraveDude8]

Anything falling under the banner of "porn tags" is pending a tag rework with the ability to flag tags as some kind of equivalent to the ExH "offensive to everyone" warning, and a way to segregate them from the normal tags.

It's something we want to do, and had plans for back in v3, it's just not particularly high priority.

 

[mrspiffy]

Vore is more a Gore thing than a Porn thing, but I get the gist is that tags are getting a rework.

 

[Remocracy]

Vore is more a Gore thing than a Porn thing, but I get the gist is that tags are getting a rework.

Vore is most normally drawn for fetish reasons though.

Also, while a lot of vore works do indeed result in snuff, there are quite some that don't, either by just "spitting them out afterwards" or going into the transformation route.

Like AOT?

Tag for single page chapters?​

Not too much of a problem but I’m not a fan of series that have just one page as a chapter. I think a tag for it wouldn’t hurt.

ESP now a days people seem to be uploading one page from an artists Twitter and calling it a “one-shot”

I don’t think that’s too much of an ask tbh.

I’m not saying these things are bad, but I’m just not a fan and it’s hard to tell from a glance without just clicking on it.

 

[Mang-Oh]

Agree, but increase the limit to say, three or five pages, since it's basically the same

 

[Ryzou]

totally support this idea. we need new tag for this.

 

[Syanindita]

Agree... there should be a differentiate between serialized one-shot with 2 or 4 pages twitter comics

 

[Puputanidya]

+1

Expand it into 4 pages comic as well. There should be any distinction between serialized magazine one shot (with more than 20+ pages) and 1-4 pages twitter comics

I have enough of those posts spamming reddit timeline

iyashikei tag​

Suggesting/Requesting addition of indexed iyashikei for mangas.
Definition of Iyashikei: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iyashikei
Reason: Iyashikei anime is a personal favorite of mine, nice way to wind down after a hard day. Was thinking that having it as a searchable manga tag would be superb.

Regards,

If it's actually used for a series with more than a single chapter, this would be mistagging so please report it.

If it's some random unrelated Twitter comics, there's no set procedure for this but the usual way has been to create kind of an "anthology" entry, like "XX's Twitter Comics" or something rather than having a separate title page for each and every little thing. I guess we should come up with a standard for that.

As for whether series with ≤4 pages per chapter need their own separate format tag, I'm not sure. "Web Comic" kind of largely overlaps with it already.

im also talking about, just one page, it's just one picture. Not even a comic as well

it's literally just one page.

Monster Boy tag​

not fair to be genderist against it when we have monster girl but no monster boy 😔

 

[Mang-Oh]

Name 10 manga with monster boys

 

[trash5502]

it's literally just one page.

Yeah. They're fun, but running across this style of pixiv/Twitter "oneshot" feels like dealing with YouTube's 'shorts' before they streamlined them into their own tab/category: it's not a lot of content for the time spent loading and navigating.
They definitely need a term, something with the same effect as 'shorts'. Or 'vines', lmao.
