Hi Neville.You say to Daly about his suggestion of tag hierarchy:“I did seriously consider hierarchical tags but in the end decided that it added a level of complexity most folks would find confusing and wouldn’t use. In your example you can tag the relevant articles with “Country†and a second tag for the specific country. The Tag’s Tree will include a top level tag for “Country†and then subtags for each country, in effect giving you want you want without you have to specify any hierarchies. In addition each country will have a top level tag. Give this a try and let us know what you think.”I support his idea…You have a Sabah article… and you need to tag it with Sabah, Borneo, TravelIf I add an article about my trip to Sabah, actually i have to remember to add the tag sabah plus borneo plus travel.If it was in a hierarchy, only adding the tag sabah would give us the ability to find it below borneo or travel.We have to make the work, when the computer could do it for us!!That is the whole point.Tom
