The [[OFPEC]] Tag listing is back online. Hit wwww.ofpec.com and you should see the list on the left. There is no way to submit a new tag as of yet but its being worked on. [[User:Hoz|hoz]] 20:14, 19 August 2006 (CEST)
I just wrote some of the ofpec people on this very topic. hope to have an answer soon.

<merging topic from Community Portal>
 
Should the Wiki also become a depository for designer tags, as they were introduced by OFPEC a while ago?  ([http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:uI7vLyItq0kJ:ofpec.com/tags_about.php+ofpec+tags&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1 cached version of old page])<br>
Since they affect addon makers as well as scripters the Community Portal might be the best place for them.<br>

I think that would be a good idea. Just start converting it. Maybe we have to protect the page so that nobody "steals" a tag.

I think using TAGs would be a good way of ordering both the community mods and community homepages section under one category with a respective page for each TAG. This would allow readers of the wiki to find a synopsis of the work under a TAG, as well as external web-pages, forum discussion and downloads etc all related to one addon author/group. The TAG pages can all link back under the same category, and are therefore placed in an alphabetical order by the wiki.

: So...? Whatever happened to those tags? Or those OFPEC guys? ;) --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 09:14, 24 July 2006 (CEST)

I think putting the TAGs on the wiki might not be as good idea as one might think. Having a reference here would be nice, but registration should be handled by either a third-party or BIS themselves. The tag system is informal, I know, but a wiki page would have to be protected and we'd have to rely on someone else to update it anyways. Why not make it a bit more automated like OFPEC had and just throw it on a dedicated site (with XML or RSS feed perhaps for the wiki?).
 
I have the capability to automate a system and provide a stable way to access it (SOW Site has been up for 3+ years on a reliable host). I volunteer my services. I would even volunteer dedicating a portion of my site to a domain name owned by someone else or the community as a whole (such as "ofp.officialTags.com" and "arma.officialtags.com" or "ofptags.com" or "bistags.com") However, someone like OFPEC would be better simply because of the popularity of the site already.

:The reason why I would like to have the tags here is reliability. OFPEC was down for ''months'', and they still don't have the tags back up. (Or have replied to this inquiry.) ''You'' may be very willing and able right now. But what about in another 3 or 5 years? OFP/ArmA may be the last thing on your mind by then...
:I think the tags are too important to leave to a third party.
:But, actually, the whole issue may be moot soon. AFAIK, BIS is working on a system of "approved addon makers". And I'm sure together with that there will be some sort of tagging scheme. (I'm just guessing/hoping here regarding tags. But perhaps ''that'' will turn out to be the permanent and reliable solution.) --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 23:13, 2 August 2006 (CEST)
 
::I agree, they are too important to hand to just anyone. I merely suggested simply because a wiki cannot be automated like OFPEC had or BIS is planning and offered if something was needed interim. If BIS is going to handle it, then I most certainly support that above anything. --[[User:CrashDome|CrashDome]] 23:47, 2 August 2006 (CEST)
 
::I would also like to add that while I cannot guarantee being online forever, the reason it's been dead for ''months'' is because no one has come forward to offer the services (that I know of). Even if everyone else wants them on the wiki, my offer still is on the table ''if needed''. --[[User:CrashDome|CrashDome]] 23:52, 2 August 2006 (CEST)
 
== Tag listing ==
 
It would be great, if the tags could be included in this wiki. Like if you want to register, that you have to give your name, e-mail address and tag. Like this, the tag would be "protected" in a easy way and only one person could have the specific tag.
 
What about this?

Why don't you use the template? Is there any specific reason? --[[User:Hardrock|hardrock]] 20:54, 2 August 2006 (CEST)

Hello Hoz!
you might wanna have a look at this page http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/commandWatcht (should be commandWatch) --[[User:WGL.Q|WGL.Q]] 07:37, 8 August 2006 (CEST)
 
: hm so is it only about the naming of the wiki page, right? --[[User:WGL.Q|WGL.Q]] 15:15, 8 August 2006 (CEST)

Revision as of 19:14, 19 August 2006

Designer Tags

Since you're the 'official connection' to OFPEC here, I wonder what you think about including the OFPEC tags on the Community Portal.
I'd be happy to help posting the stuff here, but I wonder what OFPEC's plans and position is on this issue?
