The tag alias #70318 part_of_set -> invalid_tag has been approved.

Reason: Strange little tag I just stumbled across. This information is already there in the pool bar at the top of the post, it doesn't need to be in the tags.

EDIT: The tag alias part_of_set -> invalid_tag (forum #404685) has been approved by @scaliespe.

Well, that information isn't searchable. But I don't think this information is particularly useful anyway.

If it was useful, it should be implemented as a metatag.

It's not searchable, but you can always check if the post is in a set once you're on the post
I'm unsure what's useful about knowing if it's part of a set (given that it's hugely arbitrary on whether a post is in a set (I mean, look at Set:femhermgyn )), but if it somehow proves useful it can always be a metatag (with more flexibility, you could search insets:>3)

there's inpool:true

Sets and pools are different, that function only cares about the pools. If you're comparing the suggested function to inpool:, I would say that knowing something is in a pool is also much more useful, since inclusion in pools is less arbitrary.

oh right lmao, well this tag is currently being used for posts that are in pools anyway (which is why I got confused).

Not really, part_of_set inpool:false is 35 posts, which is just 1 above half the number of posts under the tag

I'd take a good bet we'll never get a set equivalent to the inpool metatag due to the nature of sets being mostly personal, and most sets being private
Posts do know what sets they are part of, but they don't know if those sets are private or public without actually looking that info up
So with the way searching posts currently works (not hitting the database directly until after the results are returned) it wouldn't be realistically possible, and even if things were changed there's little to no benefit

A lot of this tag looks like it was meant to be used for posts that are part of an "image set", which is basically what pools are for anyway. Regardless, yeeted.
