wacsaddtag adds a model or set to a tag. In order to simplify the process of tag handling and make it modular and distinct from each of the retrieval tools that might wish to use it, tags are actually manipulated using completely separate cgi-bin programs. These are called with the necessary parameters to do the tag manipulation requested and return a PNG image on completion - a tick for success, a cross for failure. Thus addtag is called repeatedly to add each entry into a tag group. At the simplest level, there are two default temporary tag sets, tag set no 1 for sets, and tag set no 2 for models. To add set 123 to the default tag set for sets, you would call wacsaddtag with wacsaddtag/S123. To add model 12 to the default tag set for models, call it with wacsaddtag/M12.

To provide a better interface for the search engine to use, wacsaddtag also has two more complex options, A and G. These each take three arguments separated by equals signs; A is for sets and takes desired tag number, set to add to it, and description of this tag; G is the equivalent for models and takes tag number, model number and tag description. Thus to add set 123 to tag set 456 and call it Cuties Outdoors, you would call wacsaddtag with wacsaddtag/A456=123=Cuties+Outdoors. For models, say you want to add Sarah (model 63) to Cute Redheads (tag 789), you call wacsaddtag with wacsaddtag/G789=63=Cute+Redheads.

wacsdeltag removes the specified item from the specified tag set. To remove set 123 from tag set 456, you would call wacsdeltag with wacsdeltag/S456=123 - note that the tag number always follows the key letter. To delete all entries in tag set 456, you would call it with wacsdeltag/S456=all. Wacsdeltag also does the same with models, so to delete Sarah (model 63) from tag set 789, you would use wacsdeltag/M789=63. Once again, if you put all, you can delete that entire model-based tag set, as in wacsdeltag/M789=all.

wacsmarktag marks a specific tag set member as already viewed. To mark a set as seen call wacsmarktag with wacsmarktag/S456=123. It also supports model-based tag sets, as in wacsmarktag/M789=63. To clear the marked-as-viewed state on a complete tag set, you would do wacsmarktag/S456=reset and all records will be set back to unmarked. This only allows updating of temporary (search result) tag sets. It is also possible to use wacsmarktag to archive older search results to drop them from the visible list - they can still be viewed if called explicitly. For instance, to archive tag 34 (containing sets), you would use wacsmarktag/Z34=all. For model-based tag sets, it would be wacsmarktag/Y20=all.
