Approved tags and requests for new ones

As well as the set category items the site has ‘tags’ that allow a much looser form of categorisation. Literally any word can be used as a tag, however doing this literally defeats the purpose as we’d end up with such a huge list that they’d be useless for classification. So instead this thread is going to list agreed tags and requests for new agreed tags – only use these when tagging articles and make sure to spell them correctly when you use them.

Here are some general rules The tags are going to be used to create indexs of articles that would not be so easy to create by other means (eg ‘Iraq War’ as these articles could be about stuff in the US or Iraq or Ireland etc and could cover workplace and community stories as well as military ones). One tag will be used to cover that sort of index even if several would be possible. Before an article is created there should be at least three existing articles on the site that would be tagged with it. Don’t create tags without getting prior approval for them or I’ll be pissed
