March 10th, 2024: The style guide has had an overhaul to make it easier to understand! Please check what's changed, and chime in with feedback so that our wiki can continue to improve.

Tag List

Table of Contents

This search box will allow you to search for pages that have combinations of tags. This has been specially developed for our wiki, so please let us know if you find any bugs! You can enter multiple tags, separated by commas or spaces. Remember that tags consisting of multiple words must have underscores instead of spaces.

You can also search for combinations of tags using the module below. Once you click the search button, it will take you back to the top of the page. It is a very long table, so it is hidden in a folded section.

General Tags

These tags can apply to multiple kinds of contributions.

Type

• • • • • • • • •

SHIORI

What SHIORI (ghost coding language) the contribution runs on.

• • •

Languages

What languages the contribution uses. Languages are written here as they are written in that language. So German-speaking ghosts are tagged with Deutsch, not German. Note that none of these tags are mutually exclusive. Ghosts that have the Translations_Included tag should also have the Translated tag by default. Ghosts with multilingual characters that do not provide different language options would not get the Translated tag, but would get tags for each of the languages they speak, as well as the Multilingual tag.

• • • • • • • •

1)

2) • 3) • 4)

Year

What year the contribution was released in. If the contribution had a private release in the Discord server before a public release, the private release date should be preferred.

• • • • • • • • • • • •

Events

Events that a contribution may have been a part of. All event submissions get the Event_Submission tag, as well as the tag for the specific event they were in, such as Ghost_Jam_2020. For events that have occured more than once, they will also have a general event tag, such as ghost_jam with no year appended. So a ghost that was a part of Ghost Jam 2020 would get the tags Event_Submission Ghost_Jam Ghost_Jam_2020.

Please note that only event submissions which were accepted by the event and are listed on its corresponding event page are valid to get these tags.

Classification

Broad categories that may apply to shells10) and ghosts. Multiple tags may apply if the contribution has more than one character and each character is in a different classification, or if a ghost has different shells which fit different classifications. These tags are used to search broadly, and every ghost should have at least 1.

11) • 12) • 13) • 14)

Species

What species the contribution is. May apply to shells15) and ghosts, and multiple tags may apply. Note that species tags are only listed if there are 3 or more ghosts/shells that would get the tag. New tags may also be added as needed.

• • • • • •

Origin

Origin tags list what fandom a contribution came from, if any.

Original Content

Original works always use the Original Content tag.

Fandom Works

Contributions based on fandoms are tagged with that fandom, as well as an additional tag to signify if they are a canon character, an AU version of a character, or an OC. This enables readers to search by fandom, while also narrowing down their search to only include canon characters, or AU characters, or OCs.

  • Canon Characters come directly from the media in question. For example, sans from Undertale.
  • AU Characters are alternate versions of a character from the media in question. For example, Underfell Sans, from the Underfell AU of Undertale.
  • OC Characters are based in the world of the media in question, but have no canon character equivalent. For example, Zaiga, who is based in the world of Undertale but was created by naasalving.

There are tags for each of these types:

• •

Contributions should be tagged both with the tag for their fandom, as well as a canon/AU/OC tag depending on which the character is. So Zaiga, who was mentioned above, gets both the Undertale and Fandom_OC tags.

Ghost Specific Tags

Windows / Number of Characters

How many “characters” there are in a ghost is deceptively difficult to count, for many reasons. For this reason, we instead use “window” tags, which are the “things” that appear on the desktop. They may be characters, props, or anything else. In technical terms, these would be referred to as “scopes”.

Our tags here reflect the maximum number of windows that may be open in the ghost at one time. After 5 windows, the distinction becomes less meaningful, so anything with 5 or more gets lumped into the 5+ Windows tag.

Note that while this can often be used as a rough way to search for ghosts with a specific number of characters, there are many ghosts for which the number of characters does not match the number of windows, or they blur the line of what counts as a character at all.

Features

Multiple Shells

Tags that make note of what sort of shells a ghost has available. All ghosts with more than one shell get the Multiple_Shells tag. The Bundled_Shells tag may be added if they have shells that come with the ghost when first installed or when updated, while External_Shells may be added if there are shells that can be downloaded separately.

If a ghost only has a single shell, it does not get any of these tags.

Balloon Specific Tags

Number of Characters Supported

Tags for how many characters the balloon supports by default. Note that this is based on how the files are set up; many balloons have distinct sakura and kero balloons, and some have additional characters added with files labeled p*def, with the * being the number of the character. So hunter and smoker supports 2 characters, despite having designs for 4 characters, but Minimal Neon supports 8 characters.

Since supporting more than 2 characters is rare, balloons that do are all tagged with 3+ Characters Supported.

Note that if the balloon has a sakura and kero definition, but they match each other exactly, they are considered to be 1 character.39)

Shell Specific Tags

Shell for...

Which ghost a shell goes with. This makes it possible to do tag searches when looking for shells for a specific ghost. Please note that this tag is only used for ghosts which have 5 or more external shells; to compare shells for ghosts that have fewer than this please check the shell table on their individual pages.

• • • • •

Shell By...

Tags that indicate whether the shell is by the developer of the ghost or not.

52) • 53)

Custom Functions

Tags indicating what custom content a shell might have. Note that the Special_Dialogue tag is for shells which do not contain custom functions on their own, but the ghost itself has custom dialogue relating to them. For example, the way Hydrate comments on some shells when you switch to them.
