new two-character tags needed: GH, FR

[grodog]

I see that "4e" is a valid tag for posts, but apparently "GH" isn't because it's a two-character tag, so I assume there's some form of exception in the back-end that allows you to permit "4e" as a tag??

If so, it would be nice to allow "GH" as a tag too or to associate "GH" as a synonym with "Greyhawk" so that when folks write "GH" in a post, the board software recognizes it related to "Greyhawk" and populates that thread into the tag cloud appropriately.

For that matter, adding FR, PS, DS, and other two-character setting abbreviations would also be a good idea.

Thoughts?

Any interest in this?

For the sake of half a dozen keystrokes, I'd think it would be easier for people to write "Greyhawk" itself! If necessary use the word fully the first time and put the short version after it Greyhawk (GH) so that you can use the short version easily afterwards.

No unforseen side effects and it is a method that has worked well in print for decades at least!

Cheers

Oh I agree, PS: that's standard practice on defining acronyms (full words on first use). Just struck me that many folks use GH for Greyhawk, PS for Planescape, DS for Dark Sun, etc., without necessarily doing so, and that the tag cloud could benefit from being able to catch that content.
