            Bug ID: 165331
           Summary: Templates should have associated tags, not just
                    categories
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Categorization does not cut it as a way of wading through a set of templates.
Even if we supported nested categories (which we don't yet, see bug 150497) -
there are too many conflicting critera one can apply, and one might not be
interested in applying exactly those with which a category tree were created:

* "Brightness" of document colors 
* Personal vs business
* Module (i.e. is it for a drawing, spreadsheet, presentation etc.)
* Copyright
* Language/locale
* Ornateness (this perhaps even a scale, but less say: High, medium, low, none)
* Historical artistic current inspiration: Art Nuveau, Impressionism, Futurism,
Dadaism etc (see https://artincontext.org/art-periods/)

and possibly others.

For this reason, I believe templates should be taggable, with the template
manager being able to search/filter by tags.

(A bikeshedding question would be whether users can tag/untag templates
irrespective of the tags the author has chosen, and whether such tagging should
affect anyone else.)
