How not to tag / Tags not to be used

Ordering device tags

First tag will be the more relevant:

  1. Target, eg: mvebu, bcm63xx, ramips...
  2. SoC or subtarget: armada385, bcm63268, rt3052...
  3. Flash size: 512nand, 32flash, 8flash ...
  4. Mem size: 512ram, 64ram, 32ram...
  5. # Eth Ports: 1port, 2port, 3port, ...
  6. Eth speed: FastEthernet, GigabitEthernet
  7. All other tags

Tagging devices

At the end of each wiki page about a device, we should add the appropriate tags.
Simply add the tags space separated like this: {{tag>8flash 64ram USB2.0 1NIC 2WNIC 4port}}

Tagging articles

We could add tags to wiki articles, too. For example all articles which are being linked to from this page usb.overview, could contain the tag . Other Tags could be bootloader.

Don't tag wiki articles, create Overview / Collection pages instead. The wiki search can result in a direct link while you are typing, which does not work for tags.

Searching for tags / tag combinations

You can search for devices with special tags in different ways:
