Organizing Multiplayer Levels: Tag System

[Proxima]

No race tag? Obviously I've been out of the loop for some years... do people just not play race levels any more?

[Simon]

Race maps are already distinguished because they're in a separate race directory. But yes, they should certainly get tags.

Here's a comprehensive list to the amount of work I've done on tagging so far.

Some tags I've found difficult to assign to any levels in particular such as swingy, I've only found Downward Reduction as a good example for this tag. Perhaps this tag will accumulate over time with more play.

Anyway, this is the part where the tags I've given can be scrutinised and discussed, I've published the tags I've given levels for the purpose of discussion.
I've done my best to give my opinion on what tags I think a level should have. A fair few levels have no tags at all.
