Questions, such as [redwall] could apply to both the book and the series. How should we distinguish between questions about the book, but not the series as a whole?
1 Answer
Do the same thing we do with authors. A tag for the series, and a tag for specific books. If your question is about the series as a whole, use the series tag. If your question is about a specific book, use both the series tag and book tag.
In the case where the names overlap, you can use something like redwall-series for the series, and reserve redwall for the book itself. That makes it clear which is which, though we might have to do the occasional redwall -> redwall-series edit to fix mistakes. I've made the change to the two questions here.
Using LotR:
- Have a j-r-r-tolkien tag for all of Tolkien's works.
- Have a lord-of-the-rings tag for all series questions.
Then, use the following if applicable:
- Have a fellowship-of-the-ring tag for just the first book.
- Have a the-two-towers tag for just the second book.
- Have a return-of-the-king tag for just the third book.

1@Benjamin In that case, using something like redwall-series for just the series and redwall for the first book works. The principle is the same.– user80Jan 22, 2017 at 0:32

6OMG. If we can establish this kind of system all the way from private beta, Literature's tagging system will be way better than SFF's. +100 if I could.– Rand al'Thor ModJan 22, 2017 at 0:46

@Catija Except that M&TV doesn't use author tags in this way.– Rand al'Thor ModJan 22, 2017 at 1:31

@Randal'Thor "If we can establish this kind of system all the way from private beta, Literature's tagging system will be way better than SFF's" - You realize this now? ;-) Jan 22, 2017 at 2:37
