As to #2
This has always bugged me that folk need to tag things that can be inferred.
If it ain't non-fiction, what else could it be?
Fiction.Science fiction  seems really redundant
YMMV
And there are non-fiction subjects that have no fiction counter part . Fiction.Ford F-series owners manual (OTOH F-150 repair might be wishful  )
There are subjects that do need the distinction, So in those cases I WOULD use them as hierarchical. BUT subject.fiction, subject.non-fiction or subject.<subcategory>
Are you looking for Fiction or are you looking for a topic that is non-fiction? Can you see my logic.
Young adult is a filter, not a topic |
Each user will tag their library with different standards. I prefer to use redundant tags in some cases. If I select the fiction tag from the tag browser, I don't want works of science fiction to be excluded. This means I need to add both tags. I also don't limit tags to the convention of recognized literary genre. I use them for subject, mood, setting, and plenty of random things. I even have one named "Technical Manuals" for random .pdf files of things I own.
I figured out the tag splitting settings btw. I didn't see the "test" button in the tag mapper window before posting, but after using it I confirmed that my settings for "Young Adult Fiction" does in fact split it into two tags. Now all I'm wondering is if these rules affect files only at import, or retroactively.
