Tagging and you: an easy guide
Articles on this wiki are organised by tag. It's super easy to add tags! In this page we'll go into the general structure of tags, so you can get your page in the right lists quickly and easily.
The format we use for tags looks something like this: <discriminator>:<tagtype>-<tagdata>
. The discriminator is omitted when unnecessary: for example “protocol” isn't a category that would apply to anything outside of the keyboards section, but both keyboards and switches can have OEMs, so keyboard:oem-
and switch:oem-
exist. This stops pages from either category polluting the listings.
Keyboards
The tag categories in the keyboard section are, with examples:
keyboard:sense-
: examples: sense-contact
for contact-based keyboards, sense-capacitive
for capacitive keyboards.
keyboard:oem-
examples: keyboard:oem-cherry
for keyboards manufactured by Cherry, keyboard:oem-maxiswitch
for keyboards manufactured by Maxi-Switch. Ignore punctuation in tags!
layout-
examples: layout-iso
for ISO keyboards, layout-at
for AT keyboard.
keycaps-
examples keycaps-dyesub
for dye-sublimated keycaps, keycaps-doubleshot
for doubleshot keycaps.
protocol-
: examples protocol:serial“ for serial keyboards,
protocol:at and
protocol:xt seperately for combined AT/XT keyboards
