Simple Tagging Approaches Without a Full Taxonomy

Simple Tagging Approaches Without a Full Taxonomy

A formal tagging system adds complexity. While FragBin keeps things lean, you can still categorize content using creative conventions.

Prefix Conventions

Start titles with domain tags:

[infra] Rolling restart steps
[api] Error rate investigation

Section Headers as Tags

Add a TL;DR block listing relevant facets:


Inline Hashtags (Moderate Use)

#logging #monitoring #ops

Avoid stuffing-focus on semantic clarity.

Curated Index Paste

Maintain a central index paste linking to grouped resources (manual tag cloud).

Expiration-Based Organization

Ephemeral categories (e.g. [wip]) can naturally expire, pruning stale references.

Naming Checklist

  • Consistent bracket format
  • Avoid ambiguous abbreviations
  • Keep under 3 pseudo-tags per paste

Pseudo-tagging offers 80% of the value with 0% schema overhead-perfect for FragBin’s minimalist philosophy.
