Can we please have a "Collected Works" tag for the library?

doubleshuffle · 02-01-2016, 03:40 PM

I have just uploaded a collected works edition that contains poetry, drama, prose and criticism. There is simply no tag fitting such a mix of genres, so I thought I'd post the collection without a tag; turns out that's impossible, so I picked "Other Fiction". But there is a lot in my collection which isn't fiction, so the tag doesn't really make sense.

So can we please have a tag "Collected Works"? And an "Other" tag might also be a good idea for anything that doesn't fit in any other category.

A request I wholeheartedly support, obviously.

I think these are very good ideas. What needs to be done to put the suggestions into effect?

Convincing the moderating team, I suppose.

It's in hand.

doubleshuffle · 02-03-2016, 12:31 PM

Great. Thanks.

HarryT · 02-03-2016, 03:39 PM

Now done.

doubleshuffle · 02-03-2016, 03:49 PM

Brilliant. Thanks a lot!!

Just a quick question --- would this category be used only to refer to "omnibus" collections of an author's entire ouvre?

Or would it be also applicable for collections of "selected" works?

doubleshuffle · 02-04-2016, 01:36 AM

I don't think we should define it too narrowly and include "Selected Works" under the tag. I doesn't say "Complete Works" after all.

(I don't know if that is official terminology, but personally I use "Collected" for "as complete as I could make it" - when I would have liked a "Complete" edition but not everything was easily available...)

This.

And of course I wanted to write "It doesn't say..." ......

Seems to be impossible to change more than three e-book tags at once. Does anyone know how long I have to wait before I can go on?

doubleshuffle · 02-04-2016, 02:48 AM

No idea. I changed a few yesterday without problem, but I'm not sure if I did more than three.

pynch · 02-04-2016, 05:11 AM

Seems like it lets you change three posts every hour. So I know what I’ll be doing today in my breaks from work.
