There is no information on the HTML tags in the Note field

There is no information on the HTML tags in the Note field. I've noticed they are used in some publication, but is it official, and which tags should be used? --Roglo 05:01, 16 Dec 2007 (CST)

It's not official, but can be useful. Break, paragraph and list tags are common and shouldn't cause too many problems IF you remember to close the tags correctly. Links offsite have been used, e.g. to pages that contain images that we can't link to directly. (Those are obviously less stable.) I wouldn't recommend trying to use any HTML outside the Notes field, I've seen a stray tag break a submission totally in such a way that a moderator can't remove or approve it. And DO check the publication after approval. BLongley 05:29, 16 Dec 2007 (CST)

Description of the Tag field is missing

Description of the Tag field is missing. Should we invent human readable tags, or use autogenerated tags? What happens if the tag entered is not unique? Also missing in Help:Screen:NewPub --Roglo 05:07, 16 Dec 2007 (CST)

Generally, let the system create the tag for you. If a tag is missing they can be entered manually, but should be unique. (You can search for a proposed new tag in advanced search to make sure in advance.) Duplicate tags do cause problems such as clicking on a title and have it take you to a totally wrong publication, e.g. try some of the Doctor Who tags mentioned here that still need fixing.
