Suggestion: item details

Hi there :)

I just started with tagging items, and it occurs to me that this could be reworked in a way that would make it easier to browse and add tags.

I was thinking that you could add some tagging categories. Examples of these would "Setting(country/area)", "(Original)spoken/written language", "Main themes", "Setting(era/time)" to more abstract categories such as "Main Character personality" or "Cinematic Color Scheme", "Bands target audience", "Author writing style" and so on.

As an IT-technician, Databases arent really my strong suite, but two ways to do this would be either to add diffrent lines/textboxes to tag on/in (i.e one box per category). The other way might be a short coding system ie, a tag with ;areasetting:England/Space; would add it to the category "Settings (Country/Area)". Probably other/better ways to do this, but i like thinking about these things :).

Whithout overthinking it (trust me if you think im overthinking it with the above text, you dont want to be in a project with me :D) does this sound good/fun or just overly zealous about tagging and categorizing? :)

There was discussion about this a year or 2 ago but I didn't get around to doing it. I would like to do something like this eventually but by having a separate area to classify tags not when you are entering them. Once the tag has been classified there would be no need to do it again.
