It hasn't been a major issue to me personally thus far, but I've noticed that a few tags from certain posts have been wrongly removed, and there's no way that I know of to check posts for removed tags without going through each one's tags manually.

I was wondering if there was a way to search for posts that have had certain tags removed from them, that way you can correct them (when applicable) without having to use "-example" to go through every post that doesn't have it. Since simply using "-example" may bring up far too many irrelevant results.

E.g.: Maybe you could search "remtag:male" to search for posts that once had the tag "male", but since have had it removed.

Would that serve the same purpose, or would it be more to find wrongly removed tags specifically from the user's own tag edits? (As opposed to being able to check even the images you haven't edited, yourself.)

I know you don't have time, so just respond when able. If you remember it, anyway.

Well, at least for lesser used tags.. the tag history is kinda a thing. It won't give you specifically posts with the removal, but it's a much smaller pond to swim through.

As for tailclops... eh, I don't see the harm in it-- It's several different artists and characters, so... (and not jsut one artist, or one character if Jeff_wolpupperino is the only wolpupperino and 100% of jeff images are also tagged wolpupperino and 100% of wolpupperino posts are tagged jeff, then I disagree with the tag, but in this case... )

This is a kind-of-okay second, but... that also includes every (tag change) iteration of the posts in question, which makes it much more of a pain to search through. Especially if you're searching a fairly popular tag, I'd imagine.

Can that combine with the "-example" feature? Because if it can, that would basically serve the purpose I was asking about. (Searching "tailclops" would bring up every image that had it, and "-tailclops" at the same time would remove whatever doesn't have it anymore.)

I don't imagine that it would, though...

from what I experimented, it seems to be a literal search:

If you search for, say... -male you get results for where people have (mis)tagged muscular-male.
+blush, on the other hand, results in where people have added "+blush" to posts. Literally.

So, no. But, as I said, for smaller searches it works better than, as you said, searching through everything that doesn't have the tag in question... once you get the search results, you can use your webbrowser's search feature to look for, say -tailc to make it easier to visually spot posts that have been detagged.

The apparent species/race name for a certain artist(?)'s OCs.
With multiple characters and specific traits for each variation.

I didn't even think of that. That will probably help a lot, actually-- thank you.

No problem :) ctrl-f is my buddy <3

My understanding is that Tag History's search doesn't return tag edits that removed the searched tag, unless the searched term (seems enclosed in hidden wildcards, see this search for xhibitionis) matches a different tag that wasn't removed (i.e., added or unchanged). So searching tailclops returns past edits with +tailclops, +tailclops_(species), or +tailclops_(species) -tailclops but not edits with only -tailclops, unless some other tag matching *tailclops* remained after the edit. You could still find every edit that added a *tailclops* tag, though, check those for a black +, and verify any removal's correctness.

Searching Tag History for the twice ever tagged blue_goggles demonstrates that, although the search might take awhile. Shows three total edits, but not the edits removing the tag.

This is a limitation of Tag History's search. It may or may not be a "bug".
