  •  There are two 'z's, so they're both wrong. (1+ / 0-)

    Centerfielder: Please consider my suggestion of removing all one-offs to a separate page. Write a subroutine that puts them on the regualr Tag page when a one-off is used a second time. This still won't prevent the common misspellings, but these can be caught up with eventually.

    I think you're preaching to the choir with your Tool. ZOnly the conscientious would use it, and we already make the effort to 'get it right', and by now know how to spell.

    I think, just as in a library, it will require a team of librarians to moderate tagging.

      Condi fixed. Sorry.

      Yes, I may be preaching to the choir with this thing. Mainly, I wanted to get some comments and release it out into the wild, no matter how unformed, hence the "prototype" designation. If there's something like this built into the diary entry page, though, then it becomes a lot more useful. (I hope.)

      I'll talk to ct about the tag page(s), and removing one-offs to a separate space.

      It's early in the process, but I think dkos 4 will have two tag domains. One will be "index tags" which will be assigned, or at least approved, by a team of tag librarians, and the second will be individual tags, assigned by individual users. I'm in the process of writing a paper proposing this, but this is the, uh, slow season for this type thing.

      Thanks, Halcyon, for all you do. You get a virtual hug from me.
