Forum:CT:Removal of useless tags

There has been talk of useless tags recently, so I decided to take up the task of identifying and placing those very tags up for deletion. There have been long held opinions that the tags on this wikia are too excessive and/or not backed by any sort of policy, not to mention the fact that some are subjective as heck.

One such tag, the Marysue is the poster child of such a tag. This tag is not backed by one iota of policy, it is subjective in nature and it is an extraneous tag at best. It does nothing but say "I hate your article!" We don't need that, what we need are constructive tags that help to foster a better article. If you wanted, you could still put this very information in the fanonify tag and include instructions on how to improve the article. Triple threat in the useless department.

Next up is the Redlink tag. Although it messes with feng shui and it is aesthetically unpleasing, a certain user has very publicly and staunchly taken the position that redlinks are not a problem. They are harmless and in most cases temporary. I find it hard to disagree with those points, especially the latter. Furthermore, this tag does fall into the same pitfalls as its brethren Marysue, therefore, this must be deleted as well.

The third tag on the chopping block is the fact tag. This tag is useful for more official sites like Wookieepedia, LOSTpedia, etc. since those need to be factually accurate. SWF, since it is a fanon site, does not follow this mandate. We do not present real-world factual information and all information in an article must be assumed as true unless stated otherwise by the author. Also, our policies say sourcing is optional, therefore this goes contrary to policy and has no purpose here.

The final tag on the cutting room table is the Intro tag. More often than not, introduction information can be gleaned off the content already put in the page. Unless the page is blank, which would fail policy and be subject to deletion, there will always be information a fellow user could put as an intro, if one is lacking. It is also redundant for pages that contain infoboxes, since that we have the Onlyinfobox tag. This is extraneous and useless since a fellow user is allowed to add an intro as long as it only adds available information.

Tell me what you think. Separate polls will be taken for each tag and more tags can be placed at request. However, all subsequent tag deletion requests will still be subject to the initial seven day deadline. - I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 04:29, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
