It has been put forth if adding location tags would be useful. This would be similar to character tags and how they are replied. To anqxyr's advice, this does not include "sites". Thoughts on the matter?

By 'location', I suppose we are talking about the setting (in the sense of locations) for Tales. What kind of locations do we have in mind, other than Foundation sites?

I don't think this will do much but add to the number of tags.

How many geographical locations are featured in a tale or article that plays a meaningful role in the action? I can only think of the gulf region in Dixieland Nightmare Magic (which has a hub), the Three Portlands (which has a hub), and the Library (which almost inevitably gets tagged as Serpent's Hand).

I'm not opposed on principle, but I don't really see the utility.

If sites wouldn't be tracked by location tags, what would the tags be used for? Significant settings like Gaffney described? The place where an SCP was found/is located? Something else I can't think of at this time of night?

GreenWolf was helpful enough to start a list of proposed location tags that fit the "5-by-3 Rule".
