Home / Help - List of Tags

---

We may be moving to a system of using "Tags" for pages we create. These would appear as Categories at the bottom of the page, and would be defined in a template, perhaps like this:

{{InfoBox |
| name = Zaxxon
| photo = Zaxxon.jpg
}}
{{Tags | Software | Game | Space | Shooter | Cassette | Joystick}}

"Tags" would be a template that just created categories from whatever values are passed.

This page will serve as a listing of the Tags we want to support for different items.

The InfoBox would be unique to each one -- for instance, a publication or company might have a Start Year and End Year, while other InfoBoxes might only have a year (like when a Game was released). Beyond that, everything could be a tag.

UPDATE: MediaWiki supports sub-categories. Meaning, if you create a category called "Game" (which we have), inside that Category it can have "Category: Software". Thus, anything tagged with "Game" instantly gets Software as a tag. If we set these up properly, we won't have to do as many tags!

Company Tags

All of these tags will be a sub-category of "Company".

Convention Tags

All of these tags will be a sub-category of "Convention".

Hardware Tags

All of these tags will be a sub-category of "Hardware".

Interface (or Port?)

Items under here will be a sub-category of "Interface".

• Cartridge Port - plugs in to the cartridge port
• Serial Port - plugs in to the serial port
• Joystick Port - plugs in to the joystick port
• Cassette Port - plugs in to the cassette port

Device

• Audio Digitizer
• Printer
• Video Digitizer
• ...etc...

People Tags

All of these tags will be a sub-category of "People".

Platform

• CoCo 1' - items that ONLY work on CoCo 1
• CoCo 1' - items that ONLY work on CoCo 2 (are there any???)
• CoCo 1/2 - items that work on either a CoCo 1 or 2
• CoCo 3' - items that support CoCo 3 specific modes.

A dual-mode program like Tetris or Arkanoid would be tagged as "CoCo 1/2" and "CoCo 3", I suppose. Something specific to the CoCo 3 like "Z-89" would only have "CoCo 3" as a tag.

Publication Tags

All of these tags will be a sub-category of "Publication".

Software Tags

All of these tags will be a sub-category of "Software".
