-''From [[OurAnswer]]:''
-A '''faction tag''' is a prefix to a page that says something like:
-:''This page approved by [[OurAnswer:Greens]].  No other [[faction]] has commented.''
-The purpose of this tag is to make clear to any [[new troll]] that at least one non-troll faction must approve before something is guaranteed to stay in the same name space with non-troll work.  It also tells other [[faction]]s that if they do not comment, then the decisions are likely to be made by the only/few factions that care.  If, for instance, the "Reds" check out the page and make '''''no edits''''', they can then change the '''faction tag''' to:
-:''This page approved by [[OurAnswer:Greens]] and [[OurAnswer:Reds]].  No other [[faction]] has commented.''
-But if they '''''did any substantial edit'''' they must instead change it to:
-:''This page approved by [[OurAnswer:Reds]].  [[OurAnswer:Greens]] approved an [[earlier version]].  No other [[faction]] has commented or edited this page.''
-The '''tag''' must be kept short, simple, standard, and include links to the earlier version or relevant comment.  For instance if the [[OurAnswer:Blues]] say "this page should not exist", that must be also referred somewhere in tags.
