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 == Switches == switch:sense-: examples: switch:sense-contact for contact-based switches, switch:sense-halleffect for Hall effect switches. switch:oem- examples: switch:oem-cherry for switches manufactured by Cherry, switch:oem-maxiswitch for switches manufactured by Maxi-Switch. Ignore punctuation in tags! switch:type examples: switch:type-linear
