Tags for "Marriage" and "Parentage"

I think it would be useful to add a couple of source tags - just like the tags we use for birth, death, etc. When tagging a source, these are the tags I miss:

"Marriage" for source documents that indicate marriage date, place, and spouse. There is currently a disconnect between the main sources list and the marriage source list. I might have to enter a source in both places - I see no reason why.

"Parentage" for sources that explicitly name the parents - I am often searching for the specific source that proves the relationship between the individual and their parents. Would help to be able to mark the source document.

    Both the couple and the parent-child relationship areas have their own separate sources sections, so you could technically attach an extra copy of the citation that shows a child's parentage, but I agree that this is a clunky solution at best. Unfortunately, those disconnected and nearly-invisible relationship areas appear to be a half-forgotten part of Family Tree; the ongoing update of the Person page has made only cosmetic changes to them, and the expansion of source tagging still does not extend to relationships.
