I have a bit of a specific use case that I am not sure whether Discourse is the right medium for. I would like to host a discussion platform around 5000-7000 Comics. However, I don’t want all the discussions under a single topic since it is hard to trace different topic of discussions under the sam…

[afbeelding] attj: Would using tags help? Long story short: yes, that is the way to go.

Can I force the usage of tags in each post? Because Ideally, the forum shouldn’t contain anything that does not belong to any of the comics.

Can I programmatically populate tags? One idea I had was to create a topic for each tag (I guess it is the only way of creating a tag) but I couldn’t find much information about procedurally generating topics.

That’s exactly what I do on my board game community: whenever a board game is added to (or renamed on) my database, a tag and two custom topics are created/updated. IIRC when I worked on this, there’s not a specific endpoint for creating a single tag (you can add a new one when creating a topic tho…

I see, is it possible to see how tags.csv looks like?

I was exploring a similar us case with tags from one tag group being required and practically used as top-level structure (replacing categories). Right now tags only have their name stored in a data attribute. It would be great if their group would also be stored in an attribute. So we could distin…

Sorry to ask many questions but I wonder another functionality related to tags and topics. Is it possible to “pin” a topic to a specific tag such that when the tag is selected, the first thing the users will see in the topics list is the pinned topic?

You can’t pin a topic to a tag from the default pin modal. Two options I’m aware of: tags have descriptions that you can show with the tag banners component i did a component some time ago that lets you render topics on any paths. could give it a try: Topic Banners component

The second option looks like the exact solution I am looking for. Is it possible to programmatically set these banner topics for each tag via any API?
