Might be a bit old but I think that these could be aliased to invalid_color so fixing them would be easier

then we might as well alias them to invalid_tag.

But like blue/black/red there is some indication as what the tagger was talking about like black_fur or blue_eyes.

but while we are at it, we might as well make a rule against using these tags or something.

I like reserving invalid tag for things we just don't use any more and using invalid color to change the color to black_fur or white_hair, etc


Have a few minutes to help the site but feel nervous about diving into a project or just don't have the time? Here's something you can do. Click your avatar and look to see if it's tagged properly and thoroughly, if it isn't, consider fixing it.

See, that wasn't so bad. If you still have time, perhaps you could check some of the more populated tags to see if they have a wiki.


I've been tagging One_piece_swimsuit as well as removing the tagme tag when the picture has more than 10 tags. another thing I've been doing is searching "male explicit -penis" and then fixing pictures where a penis is present but not tagged.

Thank you for doing your part and helping the site. Remember you can also put your search in order of least tags to greatest.

The hand_on_* and hands_on_* tags need quite a bit of cleaning up & clarification


Just as a heads up, I'll be removing sources that either don't have a direct image linked to it, or doesn't provide any definite useful information as to where the image came from (eg. source:*internet*,source:*unknown*)

Exceptions: Sources that mention an artist, or (valid) website, such as FurAffinity

Why? So the metatag hassource:false works properly (Thanks to tony311 for pointing that out)
For more info, you can check forum #36300

By the way, you don't need wildcards at the beginning and end of the source: tag, you can just use source:unknown, source:internet, etc.


The black and white and greyscale tags need a ton of cleaning up, since it looks like they're being used interchangeably (myself included at times)

To make things a bit clearer, black and white is used for posts that mainly consist of black shades, and white tints (i.e. no grey/gray)
Greyscale on the other hand, is used for posts with varying shades of black and white (i.e. including grey/gray)

@tony thanks for clearing that up


what about monochrome?


monochrome is used for images with only one color


but should they be on pictures with that have no color?


the word "monochrome" means "one color."

black is a color


I'm guessing grey too huh? Good deal


I'm starting a sort of "Save the Tomboys" project. The tomboy tag is sadly underused, and I think it would be great to breathe some life into it. So if you like genderbendy stuff or just wanna lend a helping hand, there's a whole treasure trove of tomboys to be found and tagged!

so what would this pic be classified as ? post #222641

*edit

and as for this example, greyscale instead of BNW and remove monochrome? post #222041

► Detailed explanation here
▼ Detailed explanation here

I would tag it as black and white, since that makes up 95%+ of the picture (the light-detail sketch lines could be considered negligible, unless we're being really specific)

And for the second, you're right; that would be greyscale ( thighs, hair, areola, arms, background smudges etc.)

Well, as Rainbow Slash Dash mentioned a few posts earlier, greyscale and BNW both count as monochrome, but not all monochrome counts as BNW or greyscale,

There's all the colour themes (*_theme), sepia, some examples of restricted palette & spot color

And maybe even the *_and_white colours (though the aren't technically monochrome, being two different 'colours')

So in brief, the main things that would be changing are some posts tagged as greyscale, would be tagged as black and white instead, with the greyscale tag removed (post #176863 post #175568) and vice-versa (post #222862 post #220204)

Hope that helped!

I'll wait a couple of days again (maybe till Monday) so everyone has a chance to disagree, since it'll be a pretty big change considering the amount of BNW/greyscale posts that get uploaded these days

You can try, but you won't succeed

That reminds me, hassource:true arttags:<1 is a good way to find posts without an artist but most likely have it written in the source. source:deviantart arttags:<1 is an easy project to do because you can just copy and past the artist name found first in the source URL.


As per forum forum #37390 & forum #37842, I've started working on the greyscale and black and white tags

P.S. The majority of these were/are done based on saturation percentage (how grey or black and white the image is as a whole), so there might be a few that could be borderline

If you think a post was tagged with the wrong monochrome tag, you can say so in the comments

Nice suggestion; definitely something to look into
It's a bit more work, but the latter method could work for other sites as well (source:furaffinity arttags:<1)


So... this thread is REVIVED!

For the moment I've adjusted some of the oldest tagging projects and removed any that were now irrelevant.

I've noticed that Tagme has 15 pages of posts! Guys! What happened?

  • try for at least 10 tags per image! If you can't make it, leave tagme on it and try again later :)

sex -gay -straight -intersex -lesbian is still pretty terrifying! If there's sex going on, it should be Gay, straight, or lesbian, unless ther'es a herm/cuntboy/dickgirl in it, which would have intersex tagged. D: 88 pages!
-herm -female -male -dickgirl -cuntboy -ambiguous_gender is also .... terrifyingly populated D: 209 pages of pictures without sexes D:

In the mean time... thinking about starting a new version of this thread. Clearing off the oldest projects and starting a new list for the New and Hot Tagging projects. Whatcha'll think? :)

That would be nice SnowWolf, I think tagging projects v2 would be very helpful.

As for the gender tagging and tagme, I'll get right to.


It'll be better once the coders get around to giving us subforums and we can have one just for tag discussions, then we can have stickies for all the big projects, but it seems like it'd be useful to put up a fresh one and unsticky this, so people don't just go to the last page and see what was discussed most recently.

sex -gay -straight -intersex -lesbian -solo is a bit better. It lets you filter out solo masturbation pics, or find ones that are not tagged properly.

Then sex solo to fix incorrect use of sex to describe masturbation.

Yup! It seems so

Tagging Projects v.2 does sound great, especially since the OP is about a year old (revisited topics, new topics, current issues, etc.)


Can't remove "sex" from post #194933 because of a dizzying amount of implications starting at autocunnilingus.

Is it logical for an image to be tagged with bisexual but not straight or lesbian?

cunnilingus de-implicated from autocunnilingus. That way, a.c. won't always imply sex.

And lesbian, yes. Straight, no. It could be m/m/f


Does a difference exist between 5 toes and human feet?

They both seem to be used for characters with 5 toes
Should they be used separately (human_feet for human feet & 5_toes for characters with 5 toes), or aliased ( human_feet <-> 5_toes)?


Even though it's already mentioned in forum #39725, adding it here as well for visibility;

- All the different color tags are (supposedly) being cleaned up to specify what part of the image that colour refers to (such as *_theme, *_fur, *_body, *_hair, *_eyes etc. by aliasing them to invalid color when they're done being sorted into their respective colours

- N.B. The grey (gray?), red, green, (magenta?) and orange tags were deftly handled by slyroon already
Rainbow_Crash Rainbow_Dash is currently working on the purple (and pink?)
And I'm currently working on the green, black and white tags

Edit: You can see all the tags that are finished by checking out the aliases in the invalid color wiki article

If you're planning to clean up a colour, feel free to mention it in here as well so everyone has a clearer idea of what's going on

- N.B.² Since aliasing all unfinished colours (everything other than gray/grey) to invalid_color before they're finished would make finding them again very hard, it might be a good idea to wait till all the colours are finished first (just in case!)
[Update: Thanks!]
