Project:Tags

This page offers an explanation on Tags, & how our Wiki grants them. We use a Dev Script called UserTags to implement the issuing of Tags, & our Wiki has four types:
 * 1) Common Tags
 * 2) Title Tags
 * 3) Disciplinary Tags
 * 4) Global Tags

Unverified
This Tag is pplied 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.

Non-User
Non-User Tags signify either accounts that are Autoconfirmed but have not yet joined the Wiki, 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 Wiki (which can be done by editing an article, changing their profile picture here, or automatically if they created their account on this Wiki), & has been Autoconfirmed. This signifies a degree of interest in the Wiki, & 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 two 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 Wiki. The second condition exists for much the same reason. Forum Edits are all well & good, but Content is King on our Wiki; 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 Wiki 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 Wiki 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 Wiki.}}
