    Tagging Information and Guidelines

    Tags can be added to a character by clicking on the edit button beside the character name. There is a small box where you can type in the tags that relate to the character. Tags are not only used for visual traits but can also be used to tag personality traits or special powers (such as Tsundere and Fire Control ).

    When adding more than 1 tag you must remember to separate them with a "," (comma) so that they become a new tag. If you add a "." (full-stop) it will create a large tag, ex. pigtails.school uniform will become one tag. If you are adding a new tag, please add it in the singular form, ex. Hair Tube instead of Hair Tubes .

    Please remember!
    When adding a tag, please add only relevant information. If you tag a character with your username or spam, it will be deleted by a moderator and may also be blocked. If you want to remember the character, click on the "Add to Favorites" button in the side panel.
