Please add instructions on how to add TW tags
Posted: Tue May 07, 2019 4:04 pm
I haven't posted on BBCode forums in ages; I would like to request adding easy-to-find instructions about *how* to add TW tags. I see plenty of guidelines about *what* to tag, but I spent half an hour searching and could not find any instructions about the code for the tag itself-- like, literally what do you type to cover up TW text. I finally remembered spoiler tags and incorrectly assumed the functionality was the same; I just saw that a mod was kind enough to correct me, many thanks! (I was going to ask this here regardless, and I assume it would be derailing to respond about my tech confusion in that thread.)
......THIS JUST IN, I finally noticed that the buttons at the top of the text editing box include a TW tag!! Still, I would like to recommend adding a quick how-to to the Rules and the FAQ, so people know where to look if they are new or otherwise unsure. It may be "obvious" but not necessarily-- the buttons are right there but visual overload and trouble navigating are very real for many people :)
For clarity, here is where I looked for guidance:
1. The rules-- state that we should use TW tags, but make no mention of how to do so
2. The FAQs-- give more guidelines about what to tag, but no mention of how
3. The "more information in this thread" link from the FAQs-- again, discussion of what to tag but no mention of how
4. The BBCode guide (linked from the side of the text editing box)-- instructions on how to format some things, but no mention of TW tags
