Reading: 🏷️ What do all the tags mean in the AnKing Step Deck?

Thanks for your question about tagging in AnkiHub, particularly regarding third-party resources like Pathoma, Boards & Beyond, and Sketchy!

You’ve raised an important point about tagging cards that relate to concepts covered by specific resources, even when those cards contain information the resource may have missed.

Understanding AnkiHub Tagging

In the AnKing Step Deck (one of the most popular medical decks on AnkiHub), resources are tagged comprehensively. Looking at their tagging system, resources like Pathoma, Sketchy, and B&B have dedicated tag hierarchies that help users connect cards to specific videos or sections.

Current Tagging System

Currently, tags are primarily assigned to cards that directly correspond to content covered in those resources. For example:

  • #Pathoma tags indicate cards made using Pathoma content
  • #SketchyMicro tags mark cards that align with Sketchy Micro videos
  • #B&B tags show cards based on Boards & Beyond

Your Suggestion: “Extras” Tags

Your suggestion to tag related cards as “Extras” under specific resources is very valuable! This would help students:

  1. See the complete picture of a topic, even when a resource doesn’t cover it fully
  2. Avoid knowledge gaps when studying exclusively from one resource
  3. Better prepare for exams where all related content is testable regardless of source

For example, if studying Pathoma’s cardiac chapter, having cards tagged as “Pathoma::Cardiology::Extras” would help you catch important concepts Pathoma might have missed but that are still relevant to that topic.

Implementing This Idea

This approach aligns with good tagging practices in Anki. Rather than creating multiple small decks, using a comprehensive tagging system allows for more flexible organization.

You could:

  • Suggest this idea to the AnKing team through their suggestion system
  • Create these tags manually for your personal collection
  • Share your tagging approach with other students in your study group

Remember that tags work at the note level, so all related cards will receive the same tags.

Would you like more information about how to implement this tagging system in your own collection?
