<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential. Tags are a necessity for filtering to work, and rating tags are the most important because they capture large categorical distinctions of content type.

<h1 class="tag-info__heading">Important Tags</h1>
<p>These are the most important tags, which you should start out with before considering others.
</p>
<h2 class="tag-info__heading">The rating tags</h2>
<p>
These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).
<br />
Note that images only reach a higher rating once they have something in that rating.

<h3 class="tag-info__heading">
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="error">not furry</span>
</h3>
<p>
The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or non-furry representations.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
For instance, let's say you want to upload an image containing "Twilight Sparkle" from "My Little Pony" franchise. If you are used to Derpibooru's tagging, you might wish to notice that
</p>
<p>
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle</span>would become <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle (mlp)</span>
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, namely <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">my little pony</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.

</h3>
<p>
The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or non-furry representations.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
For instance, let's say you want to upload an image containing "Twilight Sparkle" from "My Little Pony" franchise. If you are used to Derpibooru's tagging, you might wish to notice that
</p>
<p>
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle</span>would become <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle (mlp)</span>
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, namely <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">my little pony</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.

<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="error">not furry</span>
</h3>
<p>
The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or non-furry representations.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
For instance, let's say you want to upload an image containing "Twilight Sparkle" from "My Little Pony" franchise. If you are used to Derpibooru's tagging, you might wish to notice that
</p>
<p>
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle</span>would become <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle (mlp)</span>
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, namely <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">my little pony</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.

<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="error">not furry</span>
</h3>
<p>
The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or non-furry representations.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
For instance, let's say you want to upload an image containing "Twilight Sparkle" from "My Little Pony" franchise. If you are used to Derpibooru's tagging, you might wish to notice that
</p>
<p>
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle</span>would become <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle (mlp)</span>
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, namely <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">my little pony</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.

<h3 class="tag-info__heading">
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="error">not furry</span>
</h3>
<p>
The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or non-furry representations.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
For instance, let's say you want to upload an image containing "Twilight Sparkle" from "My Little Pony" franchise. If you are used to Derpibooru's tagging, you might wish to notice that
</p>
<p>
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle</span>would become <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle (mlp)</span>
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, namely <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">my little pony</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.

<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
For instance, let's say you want to upload an image containing "Twilight Sparkle" from "My Little Pony" franchise. If you are used to Derpibooru's tagging, you might wish to notice that
</p>
<p>
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle</span>would become <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle (mlp)</span>
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, namely <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">my little pony</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.

<p>
The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or non-furry representations.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
For instance, let's say you want to upload an image containing "Twilight Sparkle" from "My Little Pony" franchise. If you are used to Derpibooru's tagging, you might wish to notice that
</p>
<p>
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle</span>would become <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle (mlp)</span>
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, namely <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">my little pony</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.

</h3>
<p>
The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sentient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or non-furry representations.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
For instance, let's say you want to upload an image containing "Twilight Sparkle" from "My Little Pony" franchise. If you are used to Derpibooru's tagging, you might wish to notice that
</p>
<p>
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle</span>would become <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="character">twilight sparkle (mlp)</span>
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, namely <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">my little pony</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential.

<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential.

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential.

These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential.

These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential.

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential. Tags are a necessity for filtering to work, and rating tags are the most important because they capture large categorical distinctions of content type.
</p>
</div>
<h1 class="tag-info__heading">Important Tags</h1>
<p>These are the most important tags, which you should start out with before considering others.
</p>
<h2 class="tag-info__heading">The rating tags</h2>
<p>
These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).
<br />
Note that images only reach a higher rating once they have something in that rating.

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential. Tags are a necessity for filtering to work, and rating tags are the most important because they capture large categorical distinctions of content type.

</div>
<h1 class="tag-info__heading">Important Tags</h1>
<p>These are the most important tags, which you should start out with before considering others.
</p>
<h2 class="tag-info__heading">The rating tags</h2>
<p>
These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).
<br />
Note that images only reach a higher rating once they have something in that rating.

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential. Tags are a necessity for filtering to work, and rating tags are the most important because they capture large categorical distinctions of content type.

<h1 class="tag-info__heading">Important Tags</h1>
<p>These are the most important tags, which you should start out with before considering others.
</p>
<h2 class="tag-info__heading">The rating tags</h2>
<p>
These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).
<br />
Note that images only reach a higher rating once they have something in that rating.

Tags are a necessity for filtering to work, and rating tags are the most important because they capture large categorical distinctions of content type.

These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).

Note that images only reach a higher rating once they have something in that rating.

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential. Tags are a necessity for filtering to work, and rating tags are the most important because they capture large categorical distinctions of content type.
</p>
</div>
<h1 class="tag-info__heading">Important Tags</h1>
<p>These are the most important tags, which you should start out with before considering others.
</p>
<h2 class="tag-info__heading">The rating tags</h2>
<p>
These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).
<br />
Note that images only reach a higher rating once they have something in that rating.

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>Furbooru has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential. Tags are a necessity for filtering to work, and rating tags are the most important because they capture large categorical distinctions of content type.

<h1 class="tag-info__heading">Important Tags</h1>
<p>These are the most important tags, which you should start out with before considering others.
</p>
<h2 class="tag-info__heading">The rating tags</h2>
<p>
These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).
<br />
Note that images only reach a higher rating once they have something in that rating.
