Is it possible to generate a [tagged] list with multiple criteria tags?   e.g. I have deities tagged by divine rank and alignment. Could I create a tagged list to show me all Greater Deities that are Lawful Good?

I don't think that's possible with the current system. But feel free to add a feature request!

I can't seem to search by tag using the methods described here. When I search for "#mytag" or by "

" (or any other arguments to "tagged"). I am able to search for tags without the "#" successfully. Am I missing something, or is this article wrong?

Mar 3, 2021 02:59

When searching, don't use the #. So, to search for the tag #ranger, enter ranger (without the #).

I'm also seeing that two letter tags don't work... Is there a minimum number of letters for a tag?

Yes. All searches on WorldAnvil have a three-letter minimum.

how would i set up a hyperlink to another article within a article, would i just use HTMLs <a> code or something else?

We have a mention system, it works similar to Twitter mentions! Just type the character followed by the first characters of the article you want to link to and pick from the drop-down list that will appear. I recommend the guides to the mention system and bbcode commands . Hope this helps!

And apparently I messed up my reply, I'm sorry! I meant the "at" character, the one used to mention people on Twitter.

lol did not expect the tags to work here. Here it is sans braces: tagged:TAG|block|none

Tags are tied to a world, while the user stream is global. This means that if you call all articles with the tag "TAG", the system doesn't know which world you're talking about. I'm afraid this won't work in the user stream!   As for the BBCode in comments, yes, comments are fully BBCode-enabled! You can still type BBCode tags if you put them between [noparse] ... [/noparse] tags. For example, [noparse][tagged:TAG|block|none][/noparse] will display like this: [tagged:TAG|block|none]

[tagged:#ingame_rule|block|UGGGG]   My tag is ingame_rule and I'm using above code in my article but it isn't pulling any of the articles with that tag. Any reason why?

Sep 16, 2021 20:56

Try it without the hashtag! The [tagged] tag looks for exactly what you type in it, so if your tag doesn't have a #, it won't show up. Let me know if this helps!

Thanks Sage! That was it!

Is there anyway to specify an order to a tagged list?

Nov 30, 2022 09:35

No, there isn't currently.

Is there a way to see a list of all of the tags you've used in your world?

Apr 24, 2023 08:54

Not at this point! But the tagging system will be upgraded in a future update, and this could be part of that.

How do tags work with regard to who sees them? If, for example, I wanted to (for my own reference) create a tag for members of a secret society. Would readers viewing the individual characters be able to see that tag? Can readers click on a tag and see all articles tagged with it? Can individual tags be made public or private?

Hi! Yes, tags are public under the Metadata section of the article (this guide has tags, so you can see how it looks by yourself! Click on "Metadata" and look to the right). Tags don't have visibility controls at the moment, although you're welcome to open a feature suggestion!

I have used a number of tagged lists of articles but just tried with a tagged list of maps. The header shows up but not the list of maps. Are articles the only items that can show up in a list?

Mar 18, 2024 06:52

Yes, it looks like currently only articles can appear in tagged lists. You're welcome to suggest new features here though: https://www.worldanvil.com/community/voting/
