I would argue that a distinction should be made between the physical cereal Trix as a subject of an image, and the brand name Trix as a metatag.

They are actually under the copyright General Mills, along with Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs, and Count Chocula.

trix_(cereal)

trix_(cereal)

Then the other trix tag should read trix_(copyright) as users can be expected to use the shortest tag possible and that remains ambiguous

Is there a point in having a trix copyright tag? I'm actually asking.

It's hard to imagine that anyone would ever post anything Trix-related here without featuring the rabbit. So it does seem pointless.

Anyway, most posts under trix are actually of some feline named Trix...

Whelp I thought the trix copyright tag was dumb too, but when I took it away and aliased the other characters named "trix" the Trix Rabbit himself did not show up in the "maybe you meant" box. Dude got edged out by a fucking OC character named Trix. So I guess we're keeping the trix copyright so people can atually search for "trix" and get the freaking trix rabbit like God intended.

Also added "general_mills" as a copyright, and "trix_(cereal)" when applicable.

Don't nuke tags, please.

Also, the cereal is called trix_(cereal), not trix_rabbit__(cereal), which you did remove the prior.

Ah, that was an error, thanks for catching it.

And I still never removed a tag because the "trix_(cereal)" tag never existed until just now. I created a bad tag is all, which I just now fixed.

You just worded what Furrin quoted badly. Specifically, "took it away", what did you take away?

You actually did remove a lot of both trix_(cereal) (even if you created it yourself) and a lot of trix_rabbit, according to your tag history.

You are fake news. Those were mistakes and I put them back in. My point is in the end no tags were removed, which is all that matters.

So we're not using trix_(cereal)? I see four posts listed under that tag, and I just wanted to get some clarification on that before I edit them.

Uh, no we are...trix_(cereal) is the tag to use when the actual cereal is in the image. trix is the copyright, and trix_rabbit is the mascot.

Then why are there only four posts tagged under it? (regarding trix_cereal)

How are you not understanding this? Because the literal cereal has to be in the image! Like...a bowl of Trix cereal. If you find more then tag them yourself, I just found four.

Again, why do we need both? They're identical: trix -trix_rabbit returns no hits, now that you moved the felines elsewhere.

I already covered why I kept the "trix" tag...because there are actually a lot of characters whose name starts with "trix"...if I remove the "trix" copyright the trix rabbit straight up DOES NOT show up in the "did you mean?" when you search trix. If there is a way to modify that section to include the trix_rabbit I'd be all for it, but I assume it's auto-generated somehow, so for now I think it's best to keep "trix" as a copyright so people can actually find the trix rabbit easily.

Trix isn't a copyright. The name of the cereal and the associated characters belong to General Mills. In reality, Trix needs to have General_Mills implicated to it. There's no need to explicitly add trix_(cereal) to pictures with a bowl of Trix cereal in it. That's like saying we have to add a "genitalia" tag to all pictures with a penis/vagina/whatever in it. It's just generally a waste of time.

Plus, just to drive Genjar's point home, if there are no posts with Trix and no Trix_Rabbit, then what's the point? Just because it doesn't show up in the "Did You Mean?" doesn't mean anything.
