Create tag groups

[mbaruh]

It's been a concern lately of tags cluttering the bot's command namespace. To mitigate the issue, we can split certain tags into groups, and then having a lot of related tags under that group won't be an issue.

For example, !intents can become !dpy intents, and then we can add however many tags we want under dpy.

The tag group's md files can be stored in a common folder under resources.

The current implementation uses folders for the (unused) role restricted tags, would we just ditch that as it's not currently in use by anything?

[mbaruh]

We could. I suppose we can also create a special _roles or a similarly named folder and to put restricted tags there, if we ever have any.

Thoughts on making it so some groups are tied to certain channels, e.g. so !intents run in the #discord-py channel would work as it would search in the dpy group. An issue with this is that it may be confusing for certain tags to work in some channels and not others though.

[mbaruh]

Yeah that sounds a bit unintuitive. Long time users learn to remember certain tags, and it would be harder if they were called differently in different channels

We could. I suppose we can also create a special _roles or a similarly named folder and to put restricted tags there, if we ever have any.

With the metadata described in #1539 (comment) we can do role restrictions through an attribute there, as having multiple folders would be a bit difficult to navigate if a tag was both role and group restricted.

I can start working on this if that sounds good.

Are there any group you currently have in mind except the dpy one?

A point that was made is that it might be simpler to just use hyphens (e.g !dpy-intents), and then no code changes are needed.

The reason this issue was raised is that we've been wary of adding new tags too liberally (for example, recently there was a suggestion for more ToS related tags), fearing too much clutter, and this approach seemed like a solution.

That said, simply using hyphenated names is completely valid as well.

Opinions are welcome.

There could be issues with fuzzy matching if we just use the prefixes so I think fully separating it with non fuzzy matched groups would be a bit easier in the code.
Using the group name to list all tags in that group would also be nice but apart from that I don't think there are UX differences between the two approaches.

It would also be nice if we could call the tag name without the group name,
example: Both !dpy intents and !intents are valid commands and the bot responds with the same embed.

As I understand it the issue's main purpose is to avoid having all of the tags as direct commands to avoid cluttering and prevent accidental invocations. If both methods are allowed the only real thing it'd bring is the ability to list a certain group and the grouping in the source
