This is just a minor notice to those who are interested.

Tags like character:, char:, art:, artist:, etc. tend to get added when a someone (often a new user) tries to set the tag type but adds a space after it (e.g., character: bob instead of character:bob). This tag is intended to help make this mistake more obvious for cleanup, as well as give more of a chance to correct the mistake (as opposed to cleaning them up by aliasing them to the more unhelpful invalid_tag, which tends to just get removed).

artist:, character:, and so on all imply this new tag, and the common variations have also been aliased to their respective tags (e.g., art: -> artist:).

That is all. :3

Tag didn't appear on post #710646, even though it did have general:. Broken implication?

That sometimes happens with tags from time to time, but I'm not yet sure what causes it.

Either way I've re-approved the implications just in case, and I'll keep an eye on them to see what happens.

just checked and there seems to be 4 pics with this new tag but none of them look to have any of the tags mentioned in you're first post visible in the tag lists.

edit: oh, heres the problem. why is this new tag set as an artist complete with source links?

The system automatically tries to fill that based on what sources have been tagged, which works pretty well for artists but, as you can see, doesn't work very well for other tags (see also: invalid_tag.

These implications seem to be broken again.
