Listing of tags
Primary tabs
Submitted by dby on Fri, 2019-10-18 22:53
Hi,
I am working with a colleague who is keen to tag the photos he plans to upload with appropriate tags. We have read the recommendations about tagging, but wondered whether there is anywhere on GWULO that we can view all available tags and make sensible choices rather than running the risk of creating new tags when suitable ones already exist.
Thanks,
David

re: Listing of tags
There wasn't, but it'll be a useful tool to have so I've made a simple page at:
https://gwulo.com/list-of-tags

You're a star, David - many
You're a star, David - many thanks for such a quick and helpful response! Even at first glance, the list is looking useful, showing French (or maybe Portuguese?) spellings of month names and other possible typos which could otherwise have remained hidden.

Glad to hear it's helpful,
Glad to hear it's helpful, and I'm looking forward to seeing your colleague's photos.

Harmonisation of Tags
Hi David,
what about Harmonisation of Tags? I know it's a really big challenge, but why not trying at least some of them? I looked e.g. for "pier" and found at least a couple of them that could be harmonised (like Old Vehicular Ferry Pier ( 1 entry) and Vehicular Ferry Pier (28 entries)).

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for those, I've merged them. If you find any other obvious duplicates, please let me know.
Regards, David
more tags
David, I tried a couple of tags that came into my mind (not systematically). Just decide if these are worth harmonizing. Regards, Klaus

Rearrangment of tags
Hi David,
in case of boredom due to quarantine, here are some tags for harmonization. Just decide which are worth it.
Regards, Klaus
