Hey everyone!

When we migrated from Flarium from Vanilla, a bunch of the tags we didn’t migrate over. Examples of these are:

AR
VR
XR
C++
GDScript
Paid
Free
WIP
And likely others I have forgotten.

We want to add these tags back, but are there any tags you would also like to see? For example, we are looking to add the navigation tag for navigation related discussion and networking for networking related discussion.
If you have any suggestions, please let us know so we can discuss them 🙂

TwistedTwigleg

Added AR, VR, XR, Free, Paid, WIP, C++, GDScript, CSharp (forgot that in OP), Navigation and Networking tags 👍️

DaveTheCoder

Novice coder (or something equivalent)

TwistedTwigleg

DaveTheCoder Hmm, maybe just “beginner” and “advance”?

DaveTheCoder

TwistedTwigleg On reflection, maybe that should be more specific, i.e. "beginning coder", "Godot beginner".

DaveTheCoder

Maybe.

TwistedTwigleg

Do we want to tie the tag directly to Godot thought? An advantage I can see with having it just “beginner” and “advanced” is that then it could be used for tutorials and tools too, to help make it easy to see who the intended audience is via the tag.

I’m also not super keen on having tags that could label the individual as a beginner rather than the discussion, but that is probably me overthinking than something that would be an issue itself. 😅
(Also - to clarify - I do not think that is what you are implying either by suggesting it! I just don’t want it to be potentially misused in a way that squishes users)
Maybe something like “beginner question” or “starter question”? Then it wouldn’t necessarily imply the person asking the question is a beginner, just the question material itself is that of a beginner. It could then also be used outside of programming/coding and could also be used for asset creation, music, etc.

I do think having a tag to differentiate from beginner/starter discussions from more advanced/tricky discussions is a good addition, I’m just not sure how we want to label it.

Suggestion - User's level (Gowydot: Beginner Coder, Godot 4) so helper knows what they are dealing with. Thank you.

cybereality Perhaps the "Neophyte" tag would be more appropriate.

TwistedTwigleg

How about “beginner question” and/or “new to Godot” as tags?

Also: @Gowydot’s reply made me realize a couple additional tags we should add: “Godot 3” and “Godot 4”. 👍

Tomcat Perhaps the "Neophyte" tag would be more appropriate.

But seriously I have to wonder if everyone would recognize it as easily as 'novice'.

cybereality

I think "New to Godot" is better. As that would include beginners and also people switching from other engines.

TwistedTwigleg

Added New to Godot, Godot 3.X and Godot 4.X tags 🙂

Megalomaniak

Added Alpha, Beta and Stable tags, so you can use them in combination with the Godot version tags to further indicate what version you are using. Or use them to indicate the status of your own project. 😎

DaveTheCoder

Should Release Candidate have its own tag, or would it be considered Beta?

Megalomaniak

I think that would still be beta, though if there's enough interest I suppose it could also be added as it's own tag.

cybereality

Well RC is still a beta, just in the last stages.

Gowydot

How to add tags with posting a question?

TwistedTwigleg

Gowydot When you make a new post you can add tags to it. Primary tags are like categories and secondary are like tags in Vanilla.
I can post some screenshots tomorrow if it would help. 🙂
