Not sure if this belongs here or to the Tagging Guide but hey you can't merge threads so whatever.
Anyhow, I think the concept of "Tale" itself needs some refining. Like, what is a tale? It tells a story, but so do articles in Item or PoI format. Most definitions I come up with or negatives: "If it isn't an author page or a hub page or a system page or item or a poi or …". Loads of NANDs here.
And looking at the Files and the Tagging Guide, we have stuff like transcript and log and interview (of which I argued most are subsets or synonyms of each other anyway).
So what if before we dig deeper into the mess, we go on an sort stuff into two categories: the first are documents or other media that is supposed to exist in this very form in-universe which acts as a catch-all for the aforementioned tags, and one for "traditional" story telling, using narrators (whether first, second or third person) and generally more artsy stuff?
For concrete examples, Contents Screenshot of PC, 2014-11-13, currently only tagged tale would fall under the former category, together with Partial Audio Transcript of Dialogue between Dr. ███ ████ ██ and UE-112015-001, Incident Brackish-Lake (oddly enough both tale AND transcript).
I think this distinction would also help our readers a bit.
Also, I played around a bit with Hydrus and read this thread and am now mentally trying to design the perfect parser/database scheme for the utopic future when we moved to MediaWiki. Please flog me down somehow I'm losing grip on reality.
