The Glowfic Constellation

Do you have a setting, character, plot, art, or other notion that you wish to put on the Internet? This is the Internet! Whee!

Marri fixes all the things <3 <3 <3

Are the "setting" tag on threads and the "setting" field characters integrated-or-planned-to-become-so? It might be cool to be able to click on e.g. "Materia" and see all the characters from there and threads set there. (And, when you're filling out the form for a new character, to have it prompt you with settings other people have used in that field, just like it does for tagging threads.)

What Pedro said. Also, to make the whole tagging system (which encompasses tags, settings, and content warnings) case insensitive and to provide an actual admin interface, for things like "these are the same tag, plz merge" or possibly maybe later a tag linking thing like what AO3 has.

I merged a few duplicate tags, fixed Maggie's punctuation, split Throne and Pedro's post into two (with a... very temporary subject line) and unfortunately probably need to pass out before I can coax the scraper into importing Skylight Empire, so next time.

I wish to reiterate the desire for a way to reorder tags. (...which unlike reordering continuities doesn't fuck everything up.) It would be especially handy in three person boxen.

Dismissing a content warning for a thread takes me to the first page of the thread. Would prefer to have it keep me on the page I'm currently reading when I click the button.

Bug report: the buttons in the reorder continuities thing are. Really not doing the thing they ought to be doing. I have no idea how to describe the actual behaviour except for "sometimes two different buttons do the same things, and the thing that actually gets reordered when they're pressed is not the thing that makes sense given the button, may not even involve the actual continuity the button's on"

I'm really not sure why that would occur, since it doesn't seem to be doing anything weird in the test cases I've tried – I can't seem to get it to misplace any threads in the first place, actually – but there's an issue with reordering posts within subcontinuities at the moment? That should be fixed soon (there was a backend thing which is why the fix wasn't pushed).

I was confused why you would need to reorder things such as "explicit" or "Silmaril" – I assume you're talking about reordering replies instead of reordering posts' 'tags' (metadata things). It's on the list but currently replies are listed in order of their internal IDs (when they were made), and making them reorderable would require some additions (such as a separate column for 'post order' instead). Also it requires a UI to allow you to move replies around, so if anybody has suggestions on that, they would probably be appreciated. (Up-down arrows by the 'edit' and 'delete' buttons? That seems like it might clutter the UI, but it could work?)
