Comment on So, About those Additional Tags...

    Even better might be to have canonical tags set off by shading or something, like the pairings currently are, so they jump out of the pile of tags they're in. I don't necessarily want to lose all the information in the additional tags, but I want to be able to see the more meaningful stuff first and more easily.

      I second this idea.

    2. Hi, Arduinna! One of the wrangling co-chairs here.

      What we're hoping to do is to mark canonical and non-canonical tags in the code, so that skins/CSS can be used to optionally control their display - either by not displaying non-canonical tags, or by highlighting canonical tags as you mention, or however else users want to display them. First we have to work out some potential logistical problems with this (as I mentioned above, it puts more burden on our servers, so we have to be careful if we don't want to slow down or crash the Archive!) But we're definitely looking into it, and hopefully will work out something in the upcoming year!

        I would really, really like this option. I seriously dislike those "all the feels" sort of tags, but I wouldn't want to take away anyone else's option to use them. If I could de-emphasize them through CSS or similar, that would be fantastic.
