First off: we're trying out a new method of changing tag types. Previously, to change an existing tag's type you prepended a type to it, such as species:lemur. However, that occasionally led to tag types being changed inadvertently. For example, you upload a post by the artist "outdoors" and tag it artist:outdoors, changing outdoors to the artist type when outdoors_(artist) was the proper tag to use. Now, changing a tag's type will instead append a suffix if the tag already exists. In this case, adding artist:outdoors will leave the outdoors tag as a general tag and add (or create) artist:outdoors_(artist). This does not happen for tags that don't exist yet.

Now, to change a tag's type, you can visit the tag index, search for the tag, click edit, and change the type from there. Standard post-count rules apply, i.e. members can only change the types of tags with 100 or fewer posts.

Now on to the rest of the changelog:

New features:

• e621 now has rudimentary .webm upload capability! (was applied a few days ago)
• Comments can now be edited for five minutes after they are created, if you need to fix typos. This will also apply to blips soon
• The moderation queue now shows image dimensions and file size next to each post
• The dropdown to select which pool to add a post to now ignores quotes, parentheses, lowercase letters, etc. when sorting
• View counts on posts now have a thousands separator for easier reading
• Aliases and implications now have a link back to the forum post they were suggested in. A new filter and sort order were added to the alias and implication indexes for forum post links as well

Fixes:

• Removed the ability to view a user's blacklist by going through user/index.xml (or json)
• Fixed post links in FFD/deletion notices not converting post links with weird capitalization (like POst #123)
• Users with non-html-safe characters in their name (like double quotes) can now be blacklisted properly
• Fixed tag scripts not working (was applied a few days ago)
• Fixed dashes being removed from the middle of tags (was applied a few days ago)
• The tag index now shows a link to each tag's wiki page and if it exists or not (was applied a few days ago)
