Tagging Titles with Numbers

    This question mainly uses the Battlefield franchise as an example, but it applies to anything else using the same system.

    I'm trying to figure out what tagging convention should be the official one, and I didn't see anything related to it in the tagging guide.

    To explain what I mean: Battlefield One has tags for both "Battlefield One" and "Battlefield 1." Which one is the correct "official" tag and which one is the duplicate? Normally I'd assume that it would default to whichever form of the term "1/One" is used in the official franchise logos, but there's plenty of other works where this convention wouldn't apply.

    I personally prefer what is used in the title of a work. I would much rather see a final fantasy XII or XIV tag rather than 12 or 14. The same applies to Civilization V and other such games that use roman or other numerical numbers in their title. Honestly though I'm not sure on the standard, either way when tags like that pop up feel free to go to their page and report them so a mod can "hopefully" take care of them.

    You're a mod. Take care of it

    @RazorBlack If you think I'm the only mod on here and the sole one in power you are mistaken. We all have different opinions. I am in the process of asking, but felt like I wanted to give my rationality behind what I believe. Simple shouting at me to "take care of it" does nothing. I was also explaining that there is currently a report system for tags in case wurm felt like reporting future tags. Also, when I say "'hopefully' take care of them" that is in reference to the thousands of backlogged reports for wallpapers AND tags. While it would be nice to have them all finished, we all do indeed have real lives and are not capable of keeping up with the sheer volume of reports that come in on a daily basis.

    I sure wish I could, but unfortunately I am permanently banned from reporting wallpapers because I reported a number of pics that all legitimately seemed to be violating the "overly sexual" rule, but the mod that reviewed them disagreed with me and banned me under the assumption I was trying to cause trouble rather than trying to help stem the flood of porn on the site. I sure wish we could get some clarification on where the line is drawn on it.

    And even if the answer is simply "Well we have to use our best judgement on a case-by-case basis," that's precisely what I was doing.
