Musings/questions on class tags
--11:03, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Does the keyword list need to be quoted?
 * I'm marking mech tools and accessories as class-mech -- anything that's not actually a mechanism
 * Should yoyo accessories get their own keyword? (All those strings)   Currently they're just class-melee
 * Most placeable items currently aren't getting classes. Should there be exceptions for movement-affecting blocks & furniture?
 * Portal Gun Station
 * asphalt
 * slime block (pink, frozen)
 * ice (4 colors)
 * tracks (regular, pressure, booster)
 * Currently excluding hooks and minecarts/pieces
 * Wound up giving classes to the blocks and tracks. --MentalMouse42 (talk) 23:05, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Biomes and bars
Right now I'm thinking any items with shadow-scales or tissue samples get the matching biome, but most other bar items shouldn't get biome tags. Perhaps they should get bar-* tags.... Items in question: -- MentalMouse42 (talk) 11:29, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Hellstone -- leaning toward an exception because it's clearly associated with the Underworld.
 * Chlorophyte -- ditto, for Jungle, but the ore can be farmed elsewhere. On the flip side, most of the stuff is either bars-only, or "crossovers" with other biomes (see below)
 * Meteorite -- less appealing, because it's a minor biome anyway, but it does have a bunch of weapons that aren't just bars.
 * Shroomite -- only a couple of items aren't bar-only; the mushroom biome has a furniture set and Truffle's wares
 * Spectre Bars -- a few items, would be appended to the lengthy Dungeon list.
 * Honey dispenser and furniture: biome-jungle seems natural, but I wonder if it should instead be boss-bee
 * living wood: Should living wood items be biome-forest? living mahogany is naturally biome-jungle
 * Wound up making chlorophyte items jungle, leaving shroomite and spectre. Living wood->forest, honey still jungle, meteorite and hellstone get biome tags. --MentalMouse42 (talk) 16:40, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Implicit tagging
Notes on "Implicit" tags nominally covered by other flags or values. The question is whether or when it is worth duplicating the info into tags; Currently my answer is "not yet".
 * Food, drink: buffType, buffTime
 * Anything producing Well Fed: buff-food
 * Anything producing Tipsy: buff-drink
 * Old One's Army: Tag DD2Summon --> event-oldonesarmy
 * Armor: Anything with headSlot, BodySlot, or legSlot and non-zero defense: class-defense, in some cases class-offense
 * Weapons: class-offense, class by damage type (flags: melee, magic, ranged, summon, thrown)
 * ranged weapons also by type: class-arrow, class-bullet, class-rocket (ammo done)
 * Tools: Anything with "pick", "axe", and/or "hammer" values
 * Mechanisms: mech flag -> class-mech?
 * Fishing:
 * Anything with a "bait" value (fishing-bait?)
 * Anything with fishing power (fishingPole value -> class-fishing).
 * Bars, again -- there are many items which are produced solely from one kind of bar (bar-*)

Things that may not be automatically taggable, but should perhaps be tagged:
 * light-producing items:
 * some pets, light-pets, lighting furniture, some extra blocks and furniture items
 * Items that summon pets/minions/etc (makeNPC?)
 * Pets
 * Light-pets
 * Mounts mountType
 * Minions
 * Sentries
 * Anything that can be caught (reward-fishing?)

Other Possible things to tag:
 * Sturdy fossil crafts -> biome-desert (done)
 * Marble biome (nope)
 * Lepus drops (nope)
 * Blood moon drops (done)
 * Solar eclipse drops (done)
 * Mothron drops (done)
 * Holiday items
 * Christmas
 * Halloween
 * Angler rewards (done, reward-angler)

Missing items?
The Rusted Company Standard doesn't show up in the list. Added it with ID from Banners, guess at text ID.
 * dungeon furniture: Gothic chair
 * banners: Diabolist, Necromancer
 * Banners: Goblin peon, sorcerer, warrior, archer. Raincoat zombie
 * Banners: Mister Stabby, Snowman Gangsta
