    Arc-chan is necessary though! \(^^)/

    Among other things. I report quite a few resolved forgotten titles and threads posted in incorrect forums and other miscellanea all the time too.

    if swords exist with
    Sword And Magic : remove
    Sword Wielder : remove
    alone : replace with sword wielder, sword and magic, or just remove if insignificant. leave any title you're not sure so that we can...dissect them >.>

    before that, let's start with a list.

    tags that ends with 'magic
    Anti-Magic
    Elemental Magic
    Summoning Magic
    Sword And Magic

    tags that starts with 'magic'
    Magic
    Magic Beasts
    Magic Formations
    Magic Items
    Magical Girls
    Magical Space
    Magical Technology

    but that's not all, there are some tags, that might criss-cross with those with 'magic' in their words
    Beasts
    Mythical Beasts
    Werebeasts
    Monster Girls
    Monsters
    Artifacts
    Sentient Objects

    for starters, let's review Magic Items. Do we really need it as a tag, if the world itself is magical? i can understand if it is unique, one-of-a-kind, artifact, or sentient, but if just labelling misc stuff then....

    Huh? Anti-magic doesn't have Toaru Majutsu on it? Talk about weird.
    Magic Items is useless IMO, I think it's safe to remove.

    On another note, we should probably go after all "Items" tags later, there ought to be useless stuff on those.

    yeah we could merge it with artifacts for now and go for an "item clean" later like @AliceShiki said. maybe change the name

    Examples would be:

    God's Left Hand
    Fish Playing While Trapped in a Secret Room
    Honey Stewed Squid
    King's Avatar
    Good God, Stop! [Rebirth]
    League of Legends of Battle System
    Return – League of Legends
    Revived Warrior
    The Demon King’s Game
    Undefeatable – League of Legends
    Vanguard of the Eternal Night

    I've only read the first four; as for the rest, I assumed they belong to this category because of their summaries/titles. All are under the [Sports] genre. Definition could be...
    (Just...err..combined the esports wiki definition and the MMORPG tag definition >__>)

    I think "E-sports" would be a better tag, I think people would assume "esports" is a typo on "sports" and remove it.

    That said, it seems like a reasonable tag to me! ^^)7

    assuming we use eSports (as spelled by wikipedia),
    • would it overlap or make the current MMORPG tag redundant?
    • how do we draw the line between the two?
    • do we split MMORPG ?
    • should be retire Games ?

    Well, wikipedia also says...
    At the beginning of the article, so I think there should be no problem in using another spelling... Mainly because I never saw it written as esports, but... Oh well.
    No, totally different, MMOs aren't E-sports. E-sports are more competitive and balanced (stuff like League of Legends, Mortal Kombat, Starcraft and the like are E-sports... World of Warcraft on the other hand? No way.)
    E-sports are competitive games that directly involve competitions between players, MMOs are cooperative multiplayer games against the enemies, even if they do have Player VS Player content, it's definitely not the focus...

    On the case of Novels... Well, any MMO is by no means an E-sport, so it shouldn't be too hard to distinct them.
    I don't think we need to, it's good enough as is, and messing with it would probably cause trouble with the VRMMOs...
    Possibly, do we have enough game-related tags to cover any game related novel out there?

    Hmmmmm... At the moment I'm against it because I don't remember having many game tags... Can you list them out Run-kun!? >.<
