Rule 153: Parent tags

In most cases, child tags should describe a subset of the parent tag.

  • There are cases where the subset relationship isn’t as clear. Genre tags for example utilize the tag hierarchy for historical and stylistic origins.

  • Additionally, fusion tags such as folk metal are neither subsets of metal or folk music.

For tags with multiple separate parent tag candidates, pick the one that makes the most sense.
