Discussion - Improving Theme Tags in Rainbowlists

[silvercat17]

thisbluespirit had some suggestions to improve the theme tags for rainbowlists 

Re. tagging of lists. As I said, there are some lists which I think could use some additional tags (generally where a more specific theme also fits under a wider theme, so they come up in both.) But see what you think! <3

Several lists for more specific types of objects/items, which could maybe use more general "theme: props" adding:

Vermeil (Jewelry)
Gunmetal (weapons)
Saddle Brown (riding equipment) [?]
Tiffany Blue (Jewelry)
Kohl (Make-up) [?]

The props theme feels to me like something more than just list of objects; I propose a 'theme: objects' or 'theme: inanimate objects' to include both props and other objects, like the lists above.

(I'll be implementing their other suggestions)

thisbluespirit  - I'll let you add your comments from the discord if you want

And there are a few lists that are more-or-less pairs: Sable and Or, Sulphur and Angel Cake

So, are there any other suggestions for improvements the tags?  Things that you find annoying or confusing about the current tags?

The props theme feels to me like something more than just list of objects; I propose a 'theme: objects

I think that's probably down to semantics really, though, so I'd think the practical thing would be to rename the props tag as objects instead, and then that should simplify what you're happy to add it to - and mean there's a one stop tag for that kind of list. (Props is still broad enough that I don't think it'd have much use as a separate tag from objects, not when we've got the more specific themes already.)

(I think "props" as a tag over objects in the first place might well merely be another RaTs hangover, although I wasn't here and can't say for sure - RaTs used to tag their object lists as "prop bunnies".)

Some of the new colors I put up yesterday I tagged as props, I think

Would it be helpful to have a tag for all the one-word prompts? I know there are several people who prefer those

It might be, yes! But it would be a lot of work, and I'm sure many of us just browse anyway, so only do it if you feel like it sometime! <3
