Your thoughts on book classification codes (BISAC subject headings) as tags?
What are the pros and cons for keeping the code portion of BISAC subject headings as tags?
An example of a BISAC subject heading is FIC022020 FICTION / Mystery & Detective / Police Procedural. What I call the "code portion" in this case is "FIC022020".

There are quite a number of tags in my library that have just the "code portion" (FIC022020) without the "human-understandable" portion (FICTION / Mystery & Detective / Police Procedural).

What are your thoughts on deleting these tags that are just the code portion?

There doesn't seem to be a plugin that can convert code-portion-only tags to the human-understandable subjects. (I checked https://plugins.calibre-ebook.com/).
If there were a way to quickly make such a conversion, that would enrich my tags.
