Redid the wikis for frame_by_frame and motion_tweening because for some reason they implied the two were mutually exclusive when that's... Blatantly (and very often) untrue?

Honestly I feel those tags should be used for what the animation style primarily is, not whether any aspect of it has been tweened or has redrawn frames. I doubt people looking for motion tweening are looking for things like post #4487513 (I'm not even sure how that's motion tweening, to be honest?), and I doubt people who blacklist motion tweening will want something like post #4781593 blocked because there's some pan and scan going on for still frames where the animation itself is otherwise frame-by-frame. They're two distinct animation styles that people can have strong preferences for, and I don't think it will be helpful to tag them both when it's primarily one and a minor detail utilizing the other.

@Watsit:

In the case of post #4487513 the sash/scarf thing is tweened! The latter makes sense, and I'm not sure why I added it to be honest.

The issue is that it's sometimes hard to tell what the "primary animation style" is on some posts, as the line is blurred. I don't think the two should be mutually exclusive, but I definitely think we can leave the tag off for minor usage of one, while still leaving both when both are notably used.

This might be another "search vs blacklist" conflict issue since my thought was that I like to search the motion tweening tag for inspiration.

The good thing is that tags and wikis can always be adjusted to find the best compromise c:
