So I've noticed that Patch generally gets tagged with original_character. I try to clean up the tag occasionally, and I'm not sure what to do with it.

Originally Patch was an mlp OC, but she seems to have changed to be unrelated now.

Any thoughts?

Patch was never a mlp character.
Got mislabeled as one because the drawing style is quite similar to mlp.

As such with no connection to mlp (or any franchise) patch should neither have the OC tag, nor anything mlp related.

That is a lot of posts to fix. Whee. Anyone able to mass-edit feel like helping?

I don't have any special tools, but I have time and motivation. What do you have in mind?

Edit: I assume patch must be this character:

I see a few tags that probably need to be merged or moved in patch*. We should probably also change it to patch_(character) instead of patch(character) while we're at it.

If the original_character tag is supposed to be removed from posts with patch(character), then I could do it.

I'll start from the bottom. We can hammer this out real quick.

Edit: I'm pretty sure these should just be tagged "dragon" and not anything else.

Don't overlook the ask avatars, though. Some of those should have mlp and original_character tags because of those.

Such as this example that was posted earlier:
post #553873

Original pony in the avatar, so it probably warrants having the tag.

Done.
