But I think it makes the most sense, and we really need to pick one standard and roll with it. At least there's some definitive order to it and it makes sense. Of course, in extremely rare occasions where 2 movies might come out with the same name in the same year, we'll have to figure that out. But I don't know if that's ever even happened. | |
| Mar 14, 2015 at 4:55 | comment | added | Catija | I'm not talking about picking between two tags... what if, for example, two completely unrelated films had the same title... one came out in 1980 and one in 2012. The 1980 film is relatively unknown and no one asks a question about it. The person who creates the tag for the 2012 film isn't aware that there's a 1980 film so they create a tag without a date. By your system, this would be wrong and the tag would have to be changed. | |

Keep in mind, when you start typing the tag it will autofill, and I don't think anyone would be confused on which tag to use once it starts autofilling. | |
