Aliasing half_naked → half-dressed
Link to alias

Reason:

Same thing. half_nude is already aliased to half-dressed.

Not entirely related but shouldn't partly_undressed and partially_dressed be aliased to partially_clothed rather than half-dressed?

Maybe it'd be best to just expand partially_clothed to also include half-dressed. By aliasing those.

Like I've said before, half-dressed is a weirdly specific tag: "bottomless or topless, but no open shirts or lowered pants or anything like that". ...who really searches for that?

And trying to keep them tagged by the current definitions seems like a losing battle.

That'd make a whole lot of sense to me, there's a thread discussing the aliases here but I can't really see what the consensus or result was.

I'll be handling this one in forum #168590

necro and suggesting
half_naked -> half_naked_(disambiguation)
as the wiki for the tag is a disambiguation that isn't classed as such.

+1, a disambiguation would definitely be better for half_naked than invalidating the tag or keeping it how it is (so long as the disambiguated tag is regularly maintained).

I noticed that semi_nude (10 posts) and semi-nude (6 posts, with 2 of them deleted) weren't aliased to anything and have made a bit of a comeback. Though not significant in quantity, it may be better to alias those away as well since they could be tagged again after being cleared.

Bumping for disambiguation of half_naked. I've been going through the half_naked tag to correctly tag it's posts and slowly depopulate the tag. After a while I realized the disambiguation of half_naked hasn't gone through. I think several variations should also be aliased to half_naked_(disambiguation), since they describe the same thing.

• half_naked -> half_naked_(disambiguation)
• half-naked -> half_naked_(disambiguation)
• half_nude -> half_naked_(disambiguation)
• half-nude -> half_naked_(disambiguation)
• semi_nude -> half_naked_(disambiguation)
• semi-nude -> half_naked_(disambiguation)

Bumping because I noticed that half_naked is at 1k posts now. I'm up for disambiguation, but I'm also biased... half-dressed is aliased to clothed, too, so what should we do with half_naked? half-naked (with a hyphen) also exists with 27 posts, so whatever happens to half_naked should also happen to this.

Maybe we should have a tag specifically for all states of dress between nude and fully clothed that these tags can be aliased to, and that partially clothed, mostly nude, bottomless, topless and so on can imply. All those tags are fairly specific anyway, and I could imagine plenty of people might want to search just for characters in various states of undress that aren’t necessarily one of those specific tags. I mean, clothed -fully_clothed would hypothetically work, but it’s insufficient for two reasons: 1. Lots of posts are missing fully clothed, and 2. Various things like bust portraits and partially obscured characters may not be taggable as fully clothed as you can’t see enough to say that they are actually fully clothed, but they may still have some visible clothing. So even if the image doesn’t indicate any state of undress, it would still be tagged clothed -fully_clothed. And besides, it would give us a valid target for all these miscellaneous tags as opposed to having to invalidate or disambiguate.

Now up to 1.6k posts...

Honestly I wouldn't object to using partially_clothed itself for this purpose. I find the current definition to be more often annoying than useful, and it looks like a lot of people are already using it on the assumption it has its more obvious broader meaning anyway. Although the fact that both semi_naked and partially_naked have been aliased to it probably doesn't help.

+1, and the current definition can probably be better represented by other tags like the *_aside tags anyway.
