Hey everyone! We’ve given everyone the ability to **tag your own posts** , so here is a quick guide to our tags, and Discourse tags in general:

## Tag directory

These are tags that anyone can use, along with some brief examples of content for each! You can have multiple tags on a post, so there may be some overlap between categories.

| | |
| --- | --- |
| **`art`** | Sprite art, drawings of characters from your games, sprite packs that other people can use, generative art, etc |
| **`educator`** | Content for educators who are teaching with MakeCode |
| **`extension`** | MakeCode extensions |
| **`game`** | A shared game that other users can play |
| **`graphics-and-math`** | Procedurally generated trees, fractal art, 3D renderers, etc |
| **`make`** | Cardboard Arcade cabinets, milk carton robots, all the awesome maker projects built with MakeCode |
| **`tool`** | Tools for MakeCode users. The streamer tool, or a site to convert PNGs to sprite art are both examples |
| **`tutorial`** | Tutorials for coding, or using MakeCode, or making art, or anything else you can imagine |
| **`video`** | Video posts |

## Game genre tags

Things tagged with `game` should have a **share link** in the post. If you’ve added the `game` tag to your post, you will be able to add sub tags to define the genre:

![forum-tags](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/0/06621ca4bf07569125901cb21989270fc9139612.gif)

If you haven’t added the `game` tag, these will not show up. The current genres are:

- **`adventure`**
- **`metroidvania`**
- **`platformer`**
- **`puzzle`**
- **`rhythm`**
- **`rpg`**
- **`shmup`**
- **`story`**
- **`survival`**

## Admin-only tags

These are tags that only admins can add to a post.

| | |
| --- | --- |
| **`featured-game`** | Games tagged with `featured-game` will be pulled onto the MakeCode homepage in the **Community** row |
| **`game-jam`** | Information about game jams that we are hosting |
| **`hour-of-code`** | Details and announcements about the CS Education Week Hour of Code |
| **`makecode-helpdesk`** | Announcements and recaps of MakeCode Helpdesk live streams |

## Don’t see the tag you want?

Let us know in this post! We’re still playing with this system and would love to hear feedback as we adjust. 🙂

I think it would be nice if there was a spinoff tag.
