Well this is...dense. I have to say tho...kudos to you my friend for finding out their full names. That has been a thorn in my side for a long-ass time. I think my hatred of USELESS suffixes is well-documented at this point so let us KINDLY throw these in the TRASH where they belong now that we have the FULL and COMPLETE names. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Also...instead of (paswg) or (pswg) we should probably use (psg)...that's what pretty much every other booru uses.

The series name is officially spelt with an ampersand (&) so...reverse this.

I figured such, but I was unsure on people's stances when it came to ampersands used in tags, so I suggested for either a normal or reverse alias depending on what others thought.

Scanty might sometimes be used as a synonym for skimpy

might be good to make scanty a disembag then, and the wiki will redirect to the character and the term skimpy.

Scanty is a very uncommon term. I don't think it needs a disambiguation. A search of "scanty -panty_and_stocking_with_garterbelt" returns like 3 results and 1 is of another character named scanty and the other two are a pony cosplaying as Scanty. None of them have to do with mixing up scanty with skimpy.

Well you're learn pretty quickly that this site is not afraid of using characters that are 10x weirder than an ampersand. I mean FFS abzû is a real tag.

A search like that won't reveal examples of scanty getting mixed up with skimpy, like post 150. Plus there is another character named Scanty, not just the rabbit but a cat character from Softpaw. It should be disambiguated.

How should I search for it then? If you have a method please...do share it.

Also you found one post...not really enough evidence that it's a big deal. You do realize that disambigation creates work, right? Like someone has to go in an decide what the tag should be manually. If that tag is going to end up being scanty_daemon 99% of the time then why bother? It's basically just creating useless busywork. It would be MUCH MUCH easier to simply look at the scanty tag and be like "hey, that doesn't belong" and remove them that way when the possible mix-up is so rare.

TL;DR: disambiguation should only be resevered for things that are frequently mixed up...not for freak tagging accidents that happen once in a blue moon.

The last image from "softpaw" was posted 2 years ago, and his stuff even says avoid_posting.
