💖 What it does

The Edit Tag page is pretty cluttered, and after a while you don't need all those descriptions and hints anymore. With this script, the Edit Tag page gets a cleaner look. It removes text and fields that are unnecessary based on the status of the tag and can help avoid accidentially using a field when it shouldn't be.

🪴 How to use it

The script automatically:

hides all descriptive text
hides metatag fields on anything other than canonical tags
hides fields to add synonyms and subtags to a canonical (with button to display them again, e.g. during rename projects)
hides the unwrangleable checkbox on canonicals and synonyms
hides the canonical checkbox on synonyms and unwrangleable tags
hides the field to syn a tag when it's set as unwrangleable
disables the canonical checkbox while the tag's still attached to a metatag (as soon as all metatags are selected to be removed, the canonical checkbox can also be unchecked)
removes the button for editing a synonym's canonical; instead the name of the tag itself is a link to its Tag Edit page
on unfilterable tags, sets the cursor to the synonym field
if the tag is still in draft, highlights the "Draft (x)" in the sidebar/at the top of the page
if a synned tag has no uses, highlights the "Taggings Count (x)" in the sidebar/at the top of the page
hides the Sign Up link on non-canonical fandom tags
lets you click anywhere on the entire row for canonical and unwrangleable checkboxes
highlights the unwrangleable label for awareness
warns if an unwrangleable tag doesn't have a fandom or is sent to No Fandom
