General Tag Discussion [V2]

Since the old one didn't start off on the best foot and the site has evolved and grown since then.

Before you make a post in here, please look at this list of links of existing specialized tag threads first and see if any of them will better suit your tagging questions first.

Artist Aliases Request Thread For artist name changes.
Character Tag Categorization For characters, also preferred for Franchise (Yellow/Lilac) Tags
Rating Tags General If you have a rating question.
Species Listing All species and races (brown tags).
Basic implications and aliases Simple small things.
Shipping tags general For shipping tags.
Original Character (OC) Tag Categorization For OC tag descriptions.

If your tagging question/suggestion does not apply to any of the above threads, or you are unsure of where it belongs, and you also don't think it deserves its own thread, then you may ask it here.

An example of what NOT to ask here:

Pikachu should imply Pokemon and Nintendo and be colored brown.

An example of what TO ask here:

I think there should be a tag depicting characters with multiple tails, and different tags for different numbers of tails.

NSFW is allowed in here, just spoiler it if it's too graphic, but linking to and naming explicit tag names is generally okay regardless.

Link to the old general thread for posterity.

Got it.

@LightningBolt
I have a suggestion, on Derpi, they have a separate forum about pink tags. Furbi needs also a forum about pink tags.

Short description:

grainy — Images and videos with a noticeable film grain effect.

@Extraterrestrial Fluff
There is also a tag called film grain and I am not sure which should be the main one

paw patrol by rainbow eevee
What is this tag 🤔?

@Radomila Radon
Something that should not exist, I aliased it into just "paw patrol".

@Extraterrestrial Fluff
And this I will just alias to film grain so that the name explains what it is.

Short desc of wall of tags
Images with 50 or more tags, not including rating tags or this tag itself.

The desc is from Derpi.

@Radomila Radon
IMO this tag seems useless if there already is this search query possible:

tag_count.gte:50

It will show all images with 50 tags or more.

There is 8051 such images currently but "wall of tags" is o only used on 102.

@CruFox
True. On this site, the tags should be specific, and describe of a character's physical characteristics (eg, yellow eyes, black feathers, two toned wings, etc.). On Derpi, most all users don't know all these specific tags.

Prisoner RD, my favorite tag, is an invalid tag now. Rest in peace.

lol

@RainbowDash
You can always use prison outfit, rainbow dash instead

Should the "lucky bastard" tag really be considered invalid? It doesn't seem harmful. And it to be harmless fun.

I think there should be a major franchise tag "innersloth" for Among Us and Henry Stickmin.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
It is too subjective to the point of uselessness. You have sexy for now, you don't need another tag that means the same thing.

@LightningBolt
I see. I was thinking of something more cute and wholesome like this though not sexy.

Anyways thanks for the response.
