Deleting or renaming existing tags

Mmurphy · August 23rd, 2013, 06:35 PM

Is there a way to delete or rename the existing tags? For example, the Race tag has Aasimar, Fetchling, kobold, etc that do not exist in my world. I want to delete them, or just rename them (catman for example).

I see I can add but I would prefer to not have all the 'extra' ones.

Thanks.

Doesn't look like you can delete them, but you can rename them.

Click Manage -> Tags

Select desired tag, change name on right side of screen.

It's greyed out though so it may not be long before you can delete tags.

This bug should be fixed in the next patch (we were told)

I clicked on the hammer and spanner to the right of the tags and clicked delete tag... (The only option right now!)

You'll be able to hide the pre-defined tags that you don't want in an upcoming release, just like you can hide categories, section types, and facet types.

Please do NOT rename tags to give them a completely different meaning. I just discovered that the warning text about doing that was not included in the release. That will be added shortly. But it's important that you not change the meaning of a tag. The reason for this will be explained, but I'm too tired to detail it all coherently here now.

Ah, just thought... When I did that, it was to tags *I* had created, but I've not tried it on pre-constructed content. (Which is probably not a good idea!)

Also, you can hide tags if you are not going to use them. (I'm not sure how though...)

Hiding tags you don't want to use is not yet fully implemented, but it's something we're working on right now.

What if you have already done that... I know that I have changed at least a couple of the Race tags....

Would changing them back fix whatever the problem is? If so, can I get a list of what should be there?

Uh yeah, this.

I've completely renamed all the races, as well as added a couple dozen more. I have no idea what was supposed to be what.
