EIP Tags/Labels/Topics

[Pandapip1]

Proposed Change

Add a new preamble item that allows EIPs to assign themselves "tags" so that users can filter by topic. For example:

---
eip: 5484
title: Consensual Soulbound Tokens
description: Interface for special NFTs with immutable ownership and pre-determined immutable burn authorization
author: Buzz Cai (@buzzcai)
discussions-to: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-5484-consensual-soulbound-tokens/10424
status: Final
type: Standards Track
category: ERC
created: 2022-08-17
requires: 165, 721
+ tags: nft, soulbound
---

Would we have a defined list of tags? How would we render this in jekyll?

No.

How would we render this in jekyll?

With difficulty. It's certainly doable, though, with client-side rendering.

No.

I think I would be weakly opposed to this change then. I fear it would become just the description, but shorter. I do think the barrier to creating a tag should be quite low, however. That way it would be useful for the EOF or the SIWE family of EIPs.

🤣 I didn't really mean on a technical level. Like would we subdivide Core / Final by tag, for example?

I guess a small amount of tag curation could be useful. I'd be in support of that compromise.

Each tag would have a page (/tag/<tag>) that lists the relevant EIPs using the same template as the category-specific pages.

I think that the consensus is that this is a good idea. I'll put together a proposal.

Oops somehow didn't get the stale notification for this. Definitely want to keep this open!

Superseded by the EIP Charter thing
