Proposal: [Core] Rewording Tags

For the Core Rule Tags, change its rules text to be as follows:
Votable Matters have zero or more tags. Tags are represented in the title of a Votable Matter with the format “[X]” (e.g. “[Core] Wording Fix”, where “[Core]” is the tag).
Votable Matters making changes to the Core Rules, the Special Case Rules or the Appendix Rules require any of the following to be true for each such change in order to make that specific modification to the ruleset:
* The Votable Matter has the appropriate Tag or Tags for that change: [Core] for Core Rules changes, [Special Case] for Special Case Rules changes and [Appendix] for Appendix Rules changes.
* The modification is preceded or followed immediately by an unambiguous statement of which section of the ruleset it takes place.
* The modification specifically states a rule using its number or the name of the stated rule only occurs once in the ruleset.
This should leave the actual mechanics unchanged, but just worded in such a way that it doesn’t contradict itself. Edit: Also, removed the section about needing the victory tag under the following reasoning: If Victory is being granted directly then it’s already obvious and doesn’t need a tag, and if it’s indirectly being granted then it would be weird to need a tag for such a wide scope - we’d basically have to add it any time we make a victory condition.
Josh: he/they
Good, thanks.
While you’re fixing things, the line ‘Votable Matters other than DoVs require the “[Victory]” tag in order to grant victory to an Explorer’ also periodically causes problems, as many proposals directly or indirectly grant victory to an explorer, and almost none of them have the [Victory] tag. I think that line should either be removed completely or reworded to specify that it only applies when Victory is being directly conferred; not sure how that would be neatly expressed though.
