This is really a couple of questions / ideas regarding tags.

Is there a "tag thread"?

I'd love to see an exhaustive discussion of how people are using tags and what they are tracking with tags.

Feature: It occurred to me that tags could be collaborative, with an export / import function. Maybe there could be a "tag registry" where users registered tags / child tags and an ID type number was assigned along with some description. Then people could change the tag name to fit their language / locality.

I've got a set of info that I track with tags, and I'm sure that more experienced collectors have lots more and better ideas on this subject. If it could be an optional but collaborative effort, like the film database itself, there is little limit to new uses and purposes that the application could serve.

Thanks for pointing me to this great thread! It certainly answers one of my requests.

Many of these tags are ones I'm using in one form or another.

I have lots of non-English language titles, and since I like to identify all the films that include a given language, I have tags for language. This is one sort of tag that might lend itself to shared info / updating across users.

The awards plugin looks like it could be worth trying, but since I only have one Windows 7 computer (the rest are win2k) I'm locked out of that.

I lump my awards into these tags:

Awards & Nominations
- Academies (Oscar, Cesar, etc.)
- Associations, Societies, other
- Audience
- Critics
- Festivals
- Many
- Minor

And I suppose I could add ...
* AFI list
* National Registry Film

I also track what I haven't
- Finished
- Opened
- Watched

Netflix availability
- Blu-Ray
- DVD
- Streaming
- Unavailable

(I like knowing which titles you can't watch on Netflix!)

Whether the title includes:

- Bonus discs
- Booklet
- Chapter Insert
- Marketing inserts (non-title specific)
- Slip Cover, Case

I've traded for a lot of discs on Swap.com, so I have tags for Amazon price range values. I also track the price paid for the ones purchased and vendor.

From reviewing others' lists, I'll be adding

Criterion collection
Black / White
Silent

Thanks again for the link.

Criterion collection shows up as a media company, so a tag is redundant.

I forgot. Made the same mistake as others in the thread that had mentioned it.

When I want to get rid of a tag (like not watched), how do I clear that value so that I can delete the tag?

Doing it one by one is really tedious.

That's true, but e.g. I 'need' the Criterion-Tab for my online-list, how else could I point people to all my Criterion-Titles?

Teach them how to use word search on webpages
