The Elliott Kay Wiki contains an elaborate cross-story category system based on the content warnings that can be found in several of Elliott Kay’s books and stories.
- Category:Warnings—a list of all warnings
Technical description[]
The warning/tagging system is implemented using the Mediawiki category system and several templates. Each warning begins as the category Tag/warning, where warning is the warning text in question. The category page itself is given the content {{Tagcategory}}.
The warnings are included in a page using three different templates:
- {{W|<warning>|<label>}}
- Adds the page to warning and links to it with the text label (if present) or warning.
- Used to show visible warnigns to pages.
- {{WL|<warning>|<label>}}
- Links to warning with the text label (if present) or warning. It does not add the page to warning.
- Used with story collections.
- {{WT|<warning>}}
- Adds the page to warning but does not link to it.
- Used with follow-up warnings that follow from another more specific warning.
Tagging[]
Most warnings are usable as-is, but some are meant to be humorous, suspiciously specific, or have minor changes between different stories. The label should always be as-is from the release in question, while warning should—if applicable—follow the established name for it on the wiki.
Warning tags should be ordered as follows:
- Warnings from the story in question, visible using W.
- Warnings from the collection in question, using W.
- General warnings from the list of author’s warnings, using W.
- Implied warnings, not visible using WT.
In each case the individual warnings should generally be made in the order of appearance in each instance. One warning can be moved last, in these of “murder, arson, and jaywalking”. This one should generally be chosen for levity.
Do not over-tag stories. Just because “Accomplished” contains a corrupt police officer does not mean it deserves to be included in the warning abuse of authority, because the story never shows any abuse of authority.
