Tag List

General Tags

Table of Contents

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)

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. These tags have some overlap; for example, a ghost made as a part of Ghost Jam 2020 would get both the Ghost_Jam and Ghost_Jam_2020 tags.

Notes

Miscellaneous notes about a contribution.

5) • 6) • 7) • 8)

Species

What species the contribution is. May apply to shells and ghosts. The top four listed here are broad species, and each ghost should get one of these. The rest are specific species, and any combination of them may be applied as needed.

Origin

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

Original Works

Original works use one of these two tags, based on what type of contribution it is.

13) • 14)

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.

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

Ghost Specific Tags

Number of Characters

Tags for the number of characters show how many characters the ghost can have on screen at one time. If multiple characters are a part of the same internal character (such as two characters being drawn together as the kero), they count as separate characters. Note that this tag may be applied multiple times, if a ghost has multiple different modes. For example, Hunter and Smoker are a two-character ghost by default, but they also have a mode with an optional third character. So, they get both the 2_Characters tag and the 3_Characters tag.

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.

Note that if the balloon has a sakura and kero definition, but they match each other exactly, they are considered to be 1 character.38)
