I thought this was already implemented but i've just realised it isn't. I would like this option rather than creating different categories for different topics, Eg. A Gaming category with prefixes listing game types, such as MMO, RPG, etc....

Prefixes for media would actually allow for a lot more categorization. Which is direly needed in on my site.
Optimally we could force prefixes and then have filters for prefixes. This would add a new way to filter media.
And if there would be a display setting for Media home then the main index would become usable for us.

Currently our media index is always littered with cat gifs and irrelevant stuff, instead of showing the content that the site is about.

I thought this was at that point executed yet i've quite recently acknowledged it isn't. I might want this alternative as opposed to making distinctive classifications for various themes, Eg. A Gaming class with prefixes posting amusement sorts, for example, MMO, RPG, etc....

Does an add-on exist?

Don't think so. The fact that Xon' Multi-Prefix addon doesn't support it probably points to it being a pain in the arse to implement, if not impossible.

Damn, was looking for an answer on this dilemma myself. Shame prefixes aren't supported. Tagging it is then

Bumping this, it would certainly be a very nice addition. Most other places allow prefixes, except gallery. I could add game-specific prefixes for each genre, instead of sub-categories for games in genres.

I was not aware that it was not in place. I am surprised.

That would be great to have prefixes at XFMG. I wouldn't use categories if we could have prefixes.

Its inconsistent that xfmg has no prefixes.

This suggestion, dating back to 2014 (!) is an excellent example for both: How useless it is to make suggestions or vote on them and how unloved MG is by it's owners. This is one of the many features that should not need a suggestion and still should have been implemented ages ago.
