Tags: Any prohibitted characters? Other limits?

  • Help Request

When I create tags to be used in my community, are there any characters I can't use? Obviously commas aren't allowed since those are used as separators. Anything else?

    For a moment I considered trolling and saying we prohibited using the / character but then I decided that was probably a bad idea and would give a lot of people heart attacks and a bunch of nice folks would flee the site.

    Um, so...

    As far as I can tell, < is a prohibited character. I haven't immediately found any others. I don't know if not allowing that character was intentional or not, I can look into it. People probably want to be able to tag stuff as <3 and probably more importantly, <1000 words type stuff.


    Edit: I'm mistaken. The issue wasn't the < itself, it seems to be a keypress issue. Shift+comma is just recognized as a comma, so it kept trying to function as a separator. I'll look at getting this fixed if we can.

      OMG that would have been epic XDD

      An alternative to the <1000w could be 0-1000w. Bit longer but it's an okay workaround, no?

        That could work!

        Also, I'm mistaken about it being a prohibited character. It's an issue with shift+comma (which normally produces the < character). If I copy+paste the character into the tag, it works fine.

        I put in a ticket to see if we can fix this. :)

      That would have been one massive troll! :-D

      (I don't know if you were referencing it, but the delicious site actually did that for real, pulling the slash out of use and triggering an exodus. fan is a tool using animal

      Thanks for checking it out so thoroughly.

        Yeah I was sorta referencing that. :)

  • greenieSep 06, 2016 at 8:35 PM

    Wanted to update and let you know that the issue with the < should be fixed. :)
