Folksonomy Tagging Syntax

The syntax for FolksonomyTagging tags is as follows:

• Use any word character (e.g. a-z, 0-9, _). All tags will be converted to lowercase. Example: rock
• A tag may consist of several words. Use - or space to separate words. Example: blues rock
• Use commas to separate tags. Example: blues rock, british

IIUC this means, tags are separated by spaces, right? Can you please include this bit of Information here and DeleteWhenCooked? -- DonRedman 21:52, 04 October 2007 (UTC)

• No, tags are separated by commas. Spaces separate words inside a tag. I updated the syntax description. -- OutsideContext

If these characters are the only one allowed, perhaps we should enforce them and unallow any other character in the web interface? As a test I created this tag : 演歌 -- jesus2099 17:05, 05 November 2007 (UTC)

• Special characters will get stripped. But I think the server allows all word characters, not only english ones. I haven't looked at the implementation, though. -- OutsideContext
