Proposed tag structure

Based on what has been said before, thinking of this. Will implement it soon unless anybody has major objections or suggested changes to it.

Category tags: [!admin], [!event],[!fic], [!fic: oneshot or multichapter], [!meta], [!open thread]

The exclamation marks ensure that these will be sent to the top of the list in the sidebar.

Detail tags: [based on: title], [character: firstname lastname], [crossover: title], [event: event name], [series: work title]

Based on is to mark whether something is for Pact, Pale, Pate, or Poke.

[Event: event name] gets applied to everything made for an event to have an easy way to group it all. This is a separate tag from [!event], which is a little silly, but will stop a display of long event names from appearing in the category tag area and cluttering that up.

[Series: title] is the renamed shorter version of [table of contents: title]. Still should go to the very bottom of the tag list, because this is really more about making fast table of contents than anything else.

There's a lot of different genre names out there and I'm worried about cluttering up the tags, so I think it might be better to make that a text input area similar to major warnings. Genre names can span across things like mystery to hurt/comfort to altpower!Taylor AU, and they'll probably be more descriptive if people don't have to worry about matching the tags to past names for greater visibility.
