Project:Tags

This page offers an explanation on Tags, & how our Wikia grants them. Our Wikia has three types:
 * 1) Common Tags
 * 2) Title Tags
 * 3) Utility Tags


 * -|Common Tags=

TL;DR
{{OPS This Tag is applied to newly created accounts so that they can be watched. Due to our history of problems with sockpuppetry, Unverified accounts are universally treated with suspicion.
 * Unverified: users whose accounts have been recently created.
 * Non-User: Autoconfirmed accounts (accounts over four days old) who have not yet joined the Wikia or do not yet exist at all.
 * Newb: Autoconfirmed accounts who have joined the Wikia. An account is considered to have joined if they either created their account here, edited their masthead here (i.e. changing their profile picture or filling in personal info), or have edited the Wikia itself either by editing their profile, an article, et cetera.
 * Verified: accounts who have met the following conditions:
 * They have been on the Wikia for 14 days.
 * They have made at least 10 edits to the Main Namespace (articles).
 * They’ve edited anything within 7 days.
 * Inactive; Verified accounts who have not edited within seven days.
 * title = In Depth
 * content = Unverified

Non-User
Non-User Tags signify either accounts that are Autoconfirmed but have not yet joined the Wikia, or accounts that have not even been created at all. The latter are usually ignored, but the former are still treated with a degree of suspicion, such as if they randomly show up in chat & stalk.

Newb
The infamous Newb Tag is actually the third most valuable of the common Tags. It signifies a User who has joined the Wikia (which can be done by editing an article, changing their profile picture here, or automatically if they created their account on this Wikia), & has been Autoconfirmed. This signifies a degree of interest in the Wikia, & in some extreme cases, there are editors with hundreds or even thousands of edits who still have this Tag. The Newb Tag remains until the Verified Tag is acquired to replace it, & the reason for this is to encourage editors to become Verified.

Verified
The Verified Tag, the most prestigious of all Common Tags, applies to Users who have met three conditions: The first condition is to ensure that only longstanding members are Verified; Verified Users are generally more trustworthy than all others, & are taken more seriously, which is why they must have a time investment in the Wikia. The second condition exists for much the same reason. Forum Edits are all well & good, but Content is King on our Wikia; it’s what everything is all about, & so article edits are prioritized above all others. Contributing a mere 10 edits into actual content signifies that a User has a veritable investment in the Wikia itself. However, if the first two conditions are met, but the third is not, then the following Tag will take effect:
 * They’ve been on the Wikia for 14 days.
 * They’ve made 10 Article Edits (edits to the Main Namespace).
 * They’ve edited anything within 7 days.

Inactive
This self-explanatory Tag signifies Verified Users who have since fallen into inactivity. It is slightly less prestigious than Verified since it signals that a User is not currently playing an active role on the Wikia.}}

Here, in brief, are some of the Title Tags; retired Tags may at one point be added for historical purposes, but that will likely be at a later date.

Global Tags are not considered in the list of three types our Wikia uses because it is controlled entirely by Community Central. Global Tags are granted for acquiring Global User-Rights & apply to all Wikias on FANDOM. See Help:User rights for more information, but for a short list, read below:
 * -|Global Tags=
 * FANDOM Staff — Self Explanatory.
 * Helpers — FANDOM contractors, interns, & interlanguage aids.
 * — Volunteer Spam Task Force; they fix vandalism across FANDOM.
 * Global Discussions Moderators — Community-builders for the feature.
 * — They volunteer to help develop infrastructural advancements for FANDOM.
 * — Volunteers who help to make FANDOM more portable.
 * ors — FANDOM Product Testers.
 * Authenticated — Official Accounts of large companies, usually from the Video Game industry (Zeach could likely become Authenticated if he had the mind).
 * Global Bot — Bots that run on Wikias across FANDOM, not just on specific Wikias.
 * -|Script=

Implementation
Our Tags are granted, rescinded, customized, & automated via the  Dev Script. The configuration for our Tags are stored under the User Tags sections of our &  files.
