| Jun 1, 2017 at 7:28 | comment | added | Martin Ender | I personally think that the favourite system is an argument for title tags. I'd much rather favourite individual titles than entire authors in cases where I've only read a fraction of their body of work (which is usually the case). | |
| May 29, 2017 at 22:22 | comment | added | Shokhet | @Hamlet Of course. | |
| May 29, 2017 at 21:52 | comment | added | user111 | @Shokhet but you should see that more than one book has the precise title "Love" (which was the point of including that link). | |
| May 29, 2017 at 1:10 | comment | added | Shokhet | Regarding point two: I don't know how to manipulate a WorldCat search properly, but your search finds all results with "Love" in the title, and not (as you have it) all books with the precise title "Love." | |
| May 28, 2017 at 21:39 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @Mithrandir What do you do if there are two books with the same title published the same year? How do I decide a priori whether a title contains the year? Not to mention that this compounds the problem with tag length. | |
| May 28, 2017 at 18:53 | comment | added | Mithical Mod | I was considering the same-name thing, and one thing I thought of was adding the year in - e.g., the-storm-2015. | |

Awkward abbreviations is the most troubling aspect, but that is the flaw of the system, and not ours. Saying that one can search for [author] title is not very different from saying one can search for author title - why don't we abolish author tags as well then? Only in that case people who subscribe to an author will get a lot of questions about a work they haven't read or have no interest it.

| May 28, 2017 at 18:47 | comment | added | user111 | @Gallifreyan there is a difference between this discussion and the meta discussion you linked to: moving our tagging system away from title tags will take a lot more work. | |
| May 28, 2017 at 18:43 | comment | added | Gallifreyan | The part about multiple books with the same never came up yet (to my knowledge) - given that I've had a proposal rejected for the same reason, I don't see why we should worry about this right now. When it finally comes up, we'll just come up with yet another awkward abbreviation. | |
| May 28, 2017 at 18:39 | comment | added | Gallifreyan | I don't see why everyone makes such a fuss over it - I have no problem at all with adding many tags to my favourites (unless there's a limit I'm unaware of). | |
