General Tag Discussion [V2]

@Ciaran
wait I thought a sow was a female pig

@Ciaran
Standardizing the gendered species tags would be awesome – removing them instead would indeed make me sad.

Been noticing some abuse of the “dead source” tag, being added to images whose sources are very much not dead. The person doing it is anonymous, though one recent one was a registered user.

What’s the tag for an image that was originally safe but now has a porn edit?

@Lunarmoon21
I usually put “Alternate version”. If the edit is by another artist, add “edit” and “third-party edit”, along with “editor:___” if possible.

I swear there was a tag specifically for this instance

So I noticed the tag changeling has the implications to be treated as if it’s referring to the My Little Pony franchise, but this may have unintended side effects if someone intends to upload a picture of a European folklore or DnD 5e changeling. Is this something we should potentially remove the implications from? Furthermore, in it’s current configuration, the changeling tag implies equine, which implies the tag mammal, and changelings may not be mammals in all cases

@LinuxPony
generally speaking with stuff like this, I’d guesstimate that like 95% of art uploaded here tagged “changeling” is going to be the mlp style of changeling, so its easier to remove the mlp tag from those 5% of images than it is to add it to the other 95%, so they’d keep the implication

@Blissey1
I don’t know, a lot of the MLP-related tags are inconsistent because half of them are treated like all the other series tags here, and half of them keep their Derpi names and implications, even if they don’t fit this sites organization system.

I’d rather they be split, like the siren tag. Makes it more consistent.

@Somedragonguy
Related, the unicorn tag currently implies pony.

@Anonymous #D0A6
It’s because of MLP.

What is the difference between “x fluff” and “x tuft” tags?
