| Mar 21, 2015 at 19:02 | comment | added | user5603 | I'm not suggesting that we change the synonym going backwards, however if there were (for example) a major big budget movie called blabla that then had a later small budget remake that never gained traction, we wouldn't necessarily give the "latest" the synonym. Using the synonym method however does allow us to ultimately assign the synonym to whatever we want, so if the situation arose where suddenly we were finding we had a lot of questions about an older movie we could move the synonym to save retagging efforts... | |
| Mar 21, 2015 at 18:06 | comment | added | Napoleon Wilson Mod | This seems the best approach presented so far (i.e. use year appendages for all versions whenever there are questions about both, not if there only is a second movie existing or even for each movie tags at all). The only thing I don't agree so much with is the synonym part, seems rather useless and cumbersome. When is "currently"? And what is "popular"? It also stops the tag from being used as general franchise tag, as might be useful in the Godzilla example. ...But well, I might even be able to live with that synonym thing. Afterall it's the most reasonable approach presented so far. | |
