Topic: Half-dressed and half_dressed are aliased to the wrong tag

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Half-dressed and half_dressed (really, they're the same thing, except one has a hyphen and the other has an underscore) imply that a character is dressed, but not *fully* dressed. Therefore, they should, in theory, be aliased to the partially_clothed tag.

They are instead aliased to the clothed tag, which merely implies that a character has clothing on. Someone could, theoretically, search for "half-dressed" and be bombarded with images of fully-dressed characters, which isn't what they're searching for.

This needs to be fixed. I'd use the alias suggestion thing, but as half-dressed and half_dressed are already aliased to something (which is the problem), I can't.

But on this site, the half-dressed/half_dressed tag is used to indicate a situation where an article of clothing is somewhere between being off, and being on-whether currently being put on, or currently being taken off. Don't ask me why, I find it silly, too, but that's how it's used.

Or...not? Odd. That's what I was told it was used for, but that's not what the wiki says now. Also, the wiki says the half_dressed tag doesn't exist.

Yeah, uh, either way, they're both *aliased* to "clothed". Not *implied*. (Check the clothed tag and its aliases.)

That means that tagging something with "half-dressed" will automatically removed the "half-dressed" tag and add the "clothed" tag. Which doesn't make sense if you ask me- "half-dressed" seems to carry a different meaning than just "clothed".

The latter? You have at least one article of clothing on. The *former*? You're not completely clothed, you're only half-clothed. (Like I said, it needs to be aliased to "partially_clothed" instead.)

Oh...OH! THAT'S why I had that impression! For some reason, I was pairing the wrong wiki entry with the tag, in my head. It's actually partially_clothed that means "having clothing partway on, but not fully" rather than what you'd expect.

But, yeah, as to your main point, I don't understand, either, why half-dressed automatically becomes clothed. That doesn't make sense. Like how the imminent_vore tag automatically adds the vore tag, too. Like...no? The whole point of having the imminent_thing tags was so that people could search for pictures where thing is about to happen, but not happening, yet; and people looking for images where thing is actively happening don't get their search results muddied up by images where it's not quite there...

Sorry. Rambling. But, yeah, I don't get it, either.
