Similar to alternate_version_at_source and the like should there be a tag for source is on e621? Perhaps uploader_is_source?

Wait, I’m confused. Are asking if there should be a tag for when the source is e621? Or are you asking if there should be a tag for when the person who uploaded the image is also the same person who made/commisioned (or at least is the owner of the source page)?

He means when the post has been uploaded to e621 and nowhere else.

This isn't useful information as tag. This is why we have description field which you are free to use.

Source field isn't required because of this and we do have smaller_version_at_source for content that is higher than available quality here, where that's actually bit more useful to search with.

That would be something like e621 exclusive.

Possibly both. If someone else updated a work thats only available here or is primarily intended to be hosted here thus making the source here. Say a commissioner uploads an artists work to e621 and the artist doesn't upload it to some other site or if they do in their scraps etc. (doesn't matter if they own it or not semantically).

Although way to put is posts where e621 is intended as the artwork archive.

By the same logic then smaller version at source should also be in the description. But a valid point would be that tags should only apply to their visual aspects and qualities not technical aspects like can it be sourced elsewhere.

A tag like uploader is source would make me look at and follow the artist here instead of trying to look in the source field or searching them on FA. It is useful in that sense not just an over description. But what prompted me to ask was trying to find posts that need sourcing and realizing that 1/5 or so are because the artist only posts here.
