Q. What is a tag and how do I add one to a GM Wiki article?
A: A tag is a relevant keyword or term associated with or assigned to a piece of information (a picture, an article, a video). The tag describes the item and enables keyword-based classification, search and relevance.
On the GM Wiki, a predetermined set of tags has been established. The tags relate to the list of Categories in the left-hand navigation and their corresponding Subcategories.
These are the steps to add a tag to an article:
- Access the article to which you’d like to add the tag, and click "Edit"
- Reference the 2 dropdown menus just above the content portion of the article -- they read "Add Article to Category" and the one to the immediate right
- The left dropdown menu contains the list of predetermined Categories. Click the arrow to view the available Category options, and select a Category
- Once the Category is selected, you can view the list of Subcategories by clicking the down arrow on the right dropdown menu
- When the Category and Subcategory tags are assigned, click "Add"
Notes:
a. More than 1 tag can be added to a GM Wiki article. Repeat the process to add another tag, and thereby, assign the content to another Category (as applicable)
b. In some instances, there may not be an applicable, predetermined Subcategory. In this case, select "None" as the option
c. You can preview the tag(s) by clicking "Show preview" or save the tag(s) addition by clicking "Save page"
