[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.

Why everyone want a specific tag for their porn! Just go to the porn site to get your specific tag! FFS!

Also didn't you already make a the exact same request before with no response?

Well, atleast you got to experience a once in life time experience considering you'd never search it up, I guess.

Yes, boys with kneesocks for example.

Hi. As part of a cleanup of the Mainsite Suggestions subforum, several threads have been merged into this megathread, which will be used to discuss and suggest new tags for MangaDex.
For the time being, it will remain locked until I finish writing the guidelines for suggesting tags and all suggestion have been linked in the suggested tags list. I will post a new comment once the whole thing is finished.

 

[kouyo]

The guidelines have been added, and all the existing proposals have been subjected to them, which is why many were removed from the list. They may be reinstated if they meet the requirements of the guidelines.

The thread is now open.

 

[Painasbread]

This is not a list of tags that we will add. Only if the tag meets the previous requirements, it will be added to the list.

I got baited because I didn't read that line and jumped straight to the links you posted

Anyway, in the conceivable future where we can browse through our library with tag filters, I'd probably use them, otherwise I very rarely use the tags right now, so I have nothing to add.
I agree with most of the suggestions though.

 

[Edo4169]

Does anyone said about parody? We need parody tag.

 

[obseletrix]

It would be nice to be able to filter series by number of translated chapters (eg 1-10, 10-50, 50-100, 100+).

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I think it's pretty crazy that there's no tag for "robots".

I also think it's kind of clunky that "monster girls" has a tag but any non-female humanoid monsters get tossed into the general "monsters" category. In general, I'd suggest some sort of tag for "kemonomimi" because when I think of a "monster" I don't think of, like, a cat. A girl who is also a dragon or a slime or something is a monster girl; a girl who just has cat ears and a tail doesn't seem like a monster to me. So I think a "kemonomimi" tag would be extremely useful, lest everyone looking on the "monster girl" or "animal" tags have to sort through a bunch of cat, dog, and bunnygirls/boys/everyone else.

(Personally, I'd also suggest a general "kemono/furry" tag, but I'm also aware there may not be a substantial enough amount of furry stuff on the site to justify it. At the very least, "robots" and "kemonomimi" would definitely be useful tags to have.)

Added back some tags and new ones:

• Journey -> Slow travel, experiences along the way, growth through travel. Stories that focus on characters travelling and experiencing the world. Different from adventure and fantasy (adventure focuses on an epic journey in search of someone or something. Whereas fantasy is a world setting)
• Dungeon Crawl -> More general term for "Tower/Dungeon". Usually, stories set in a multi-level tower, labyrinth or structured dungeon.
• Politics -> The story involves political themes like court intrigue, faction struggles, succession disputes, etc.
• Robots -> Could possibly overlap with "Mecha", but in this case it would mean robots on a smaller scale, or in a broader sense: androids.
• Kemonomimi -> Pretty straightforward. Could overlap with the "animals" or "monsters"/"monster girls" tag, but there's still an aesthetic difference.

From now on, be sure to provide explanations (rule 4). We'll ignore suggestions without them unless it's very clear what they're for.

P.S. I've tweaked the wording for the rules and added one that I missed, as well as a clarification for "porn tags".

will there be a format tag since i really want to see cg sets be distinguished from regular webcomics with panels and shit (ive said this numerous times but ya get the gist)

"CG set" often implies images without text (or very little text), so it's questionable whether we could have a tag for those (rule 1.2).
I know that some of them have text equivalent to a manga, so it depends on the set. But that's not guaranteed in the tag itself.
I'd like to have a tag for them, but I'd also prefer a different name where we can guarantee there's translated text, for the reasons I've explained.

TBH the only reason I am using that name is because of my browsing hitomi and ehentai and since hitomi is a sadpanda mirror basically it uses ehentai definitions for their gallery categories. I wonder what else we could use as a definition because the main reason I want it is to distinguish certain zurikishi comics (and crap where the bg doesnt change and the characters are pasted on) from other webcomics.

Alright, I'll update the ones apart from the already accepted, think a new post is better for visibility:

False underdog: Stories where the main character constantly gets treated like he is weak, except he actually isn't and actually is just overpowered. This would be the "I'm the weakest, but actually the strongest", "My useless skill is actually OP", "Level one but stronger than the final boss" type of titles, where the author makes the MC be considered rubbish, but be super-talented in actuality. Mostly, I think it would provide a good filter tag. Also, it would apply to that minor genre of "Guy has enough of a toxic girlfriend and then turns out to be a super talented gigachad" romance manga.

Need to cook a bit more on the "No Plot Armour" concept, gonna do that later.

Also, another one:
Japanese Nationalist Propaganda: Something to mark unironic propaganda manga, like "JSDF Wankfests", "Grorious Nipponese Culture", "Samurai/Japanese other warrior types beat every other type of gaijin soldier", "Japanese WW2 War Criminals are actually heroes and the war crimes did not happen"-type of Manga. Honestly, I think such a tag is really missing and should be applied. It should be somewhat restricted in usage, applying only where the shilling is obvious in nature.
