Looks like 3rd party watermark was implemented, title updated.

third-party_watermarkthird_party_watermark3rd_party_watermark

etc.

This would be used for uploads that have some kind of watermark put there by anyone aside from the artist/creator

Long Version

So post #779185 wouldn't count

but post #780945 would

One of the problems with a tag like this is drawing the line between content creator and third-party;
Do all those deviantArt et al watermarked images count as a third party? What about associated studios/companies etc whom the artist/s may be releasing content under?

e.g GCREST Inc. on post #757539

Then there's the issue of people tagging web addresses as watermarks. Are they considered watermarks on the site? (wiki has no info about it for now)

I've also seen an artist signature tagged as a watermark, which seems...odd

Short Version

  • What's an appropriate tag to use for tagging third_party_watermarks?
  • Why are some (possibly a minority) people tagging artist signatures as watermarks?
  • What's the distinction between a watermark, web_address, and signature?
    • Should web_address imply watermark? (web_address -> watermark)
  • The wiki for said articles (watermark, web_address, signature) would need to be updated
