Re: [xwiki-users] Tags in XWki Watch
Hi Everyone, I could find a use for tag 'editing', I don't think it is a strange as it seems. Consider the following for instance; I have an application where users (we will call them employees) can publish documents relating to a certain subject, or group of subjects. They are product and application based. Other users (lets call them customers) can then watch the subjects that concern them to be made aware of updates/bug fixes/application notes etc... I would like the employees to be able to choose from a predefined list of tags, that someone would have to be able to edit. This keeps the tags consistent and avoids the inevitable case/spelling/mistypes that could result in orphaned tags. I guess that this is not the pure intended use of tagging I know but I can se how it would be very useful, at least to me :-) Dean Sellers applications engineer rinstrum smart weighing Ph: +61 7 3216 7166 Fax: +61 7 3216 6211 [email protected] 41 Success St, Acacia Ridge, QLD, 4110 www.rinstrum.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 15 April 2008 9:47 PM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Tags in XWki Watch Hi Xavier, editing the list of tags is a quite strange concept because by definition a list of tags generated by a community of users, so it makes almost no sense editing the list itself. The means to edit a list of tags are to edit the content that generates it, i.e. the articles from which the list is generated. Just click the tag to change so that you filter out all articles tags with that tag and edit the tags of the articles in order to remove / change the undesired tag. There is no 'bulk tag' or 'bulk change' for the moment in watch and I'm not really sure this could be used for tag editing or tag removing. Have fun, Anca Luca
Hi there,
how can I edit the list of tags in XWiki Watch?
I have twice the same word, once with a capital letter, once without it, and I'd like to straighten this ...
Thanks,

You are completely right, I think the situation you present is quite often actually, but, as you mentioned, it is some sort of hijacking tags and using them as categories. If it's only about case/spelling/mistypes, then the new tags suggest feature in XWatch M4 can help you avoid the situation in a more elegant manner than restricting the tag list. We are looking into implementing the tags list in watch: giving the possibility to the administrator to configure the usage of a tags list. Thanks for your interest and feedback on xwiki watch, Have fun! Anca Luca

Hi Dean,
I would like the employees to be able to choose from a predefined list
of tags, that someone would have to be able to edit. This keeps the tags consistent and avoids the inevitable case/spelling/mistypes that could result in orphaned tags.

Another thing that might interest you is that in XWiki Enterprise you can set tags to work either as tags or categories. You've got both the free tags with autosuggest & list of categories to pick from option, cf http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/TagApplication . As for XWiki Watch, nother use case I can see is that if a tag becomes deprecated : let's say you had documents tagged Yahoo!, but since they've been bought you want to turn them all into Microsoft tags -> that's not so much a technical issuer as a semantic one to me : the Yahoo! tags were added at a moment when it made sense to call them this way, thus they convey an element of information. What you might want to do is to automatically add a "microsoft" tag to all the articles already tagged Yahoo! -> heavier, but you keep more information... WDYT ? Another direction we might to go in is to improve the way filters work in Watch : instead of displaying all the articles matching both tag A & tag B , we could add a modifier that would let people display all articles for Tag A or Tag B or both. Same for keywords, etc... Guillaume
