Seems simple and mindless, I'll take you up on that. I'll add alien while I'm at it in case the implication doesn't go through.

Edit: Done.

huh, those are some pretty big pics alright but it seems a pic with a width and/or height of 20k or more can't be uploaded. not by me at least. oh well, 11 more big pics coming up.

edit: o.O boy, did i just uncover a mess.

starting from post #577439 i went to check the artist since i was pretty sure it wasn't the character in the picture (seemed a bit suspicious to me.) and it led to this: https://e621.net/artist/show?name=mister_peabody which then leads here: https://e621.net/artist/create?name=Michael now this "micheal" seems to be a tag (character?) in the pic linked from that artist page.

the artist at the source link is What-The-WABAC so i think i'll change it to that as that seems correct.

I just looked into it and straightened it out. what-the-wabac is the actual artist, and all of them should be properly credited and sourced now.

Funnily enough, most of them also turned out to be bvats. So you'll probably see them there as you continue uploading better quality versions.

Pocket_pussy, fleshlight, artificial_vagina, onahole and cocksleeve... Looks like those need to be sorted out somehow.

I'm not sure about what should be aliased/moved where, though.

Fleshflight is a brand name, but it's currently tagged for all types and the most popular tag of the four. Cocksleeve can be easily mixed up with cock_sleeve.
Onahole is just the Japanese word for those..

Onahole is just the Japanese word for those..

There was some discussion on this in forum #142219 and forum #145953. From those I've basically gathered this:

• pocket_pussy, fleshlight, artificial_vagina, onahole, masturbation_sleeve - All pretty much the same thing or close enough.
• cocksleeve/cock_sleeve - easily mixed up with living_condom, what is essentially a textured condom without the tip (with bumps/etc.), and a huge penis penetrating a tiny character.
• Tenga is a specific brand and is visually distinct.
• While Fleshlight is also a specific brand, it's become somewhat of a generic name for a lot of people.
• Out of the tags above fleshlight and onahole were favored the most.
• "masturbator" and "penetrable_sex_toy" were suggested as potential names.

All I've managed to figure out:

• sex_toy
• penis_accessory
• cock_ring
• bumpy_not-exactly-a-condom_thing
• whatever_we_decide <- everything to this
• tenga

I would like to see masturbator, penetrable_sex_toy, or masturbation_sleeve as the umbrella tag there. I would not like to see pocket_pussy or artificial_vagina as the umbrella tag, because they're not all supposed to simulate a vagina. tenga is visually distinct and should imply the umbrella tag. It would be nice if fleshlight could be used for the ones with a hard shell on the outside, but that would probably be a constant battle to maintain proper tagging. It should either imply or be aliased to the umbrella tag, depending on if that's a battle we want to fight. All the others should be aliased to the umbrella tag.

Having cocksleeve for a masturbator and cock_sleeve for the textured tipless condom sort of thing needs to change. That is a recipe for constant mistagging. I'm thinking that cocksleeve should probably be aliased to invalid_tag after being cleaned up, since aliasing it to the umbrella tag for penetrables will probably result in a lot of cock_sleeves in that tag, while aliasing it to cock_sleeve will result in penetrables in the cock_sleeve tag.

Fixing the solo + duo tagged pics would be great, guys. It's a huge issue. Or am I missing something?

Some posts are supposed to be tagged with both. Such as many multiple_images.

Here's one example where both solo and duo are appropriate:
post #351937

solo duo -multiple_images needs to be cleaned up, then.

Furrin_Gok said:

There is still more tags that depict multiple images besides multiple_images that could get annoying.

Unless we implicated opencanvas version_comparison comparison mosaic collage to mutltiple_images.

I don't know how well that would work though.

Edit: also multiple_scenes could harbor solo duo.

Yes, I'm looking through and locating a few images that have alternate tags. I've located multiple_images, multiple_scenes, and comic so far. Strangely enough, while images makes it sound unrelated, that's the tag used when they are related (Whoops... Is there a way to view the history of changes I've made on various images, rather than one at a time?) and scenes is used for unrelated (even though it sounds like it should be related). I mean, unless we want to go through and turn the entire thing around, I'm probably going to have to sit this one out since I'll end up tagging it backwards compared to how it currently is.

Personally I'd just blacklist all of those just while doing the project. It should make it easier to clean up those without it at least.

I've been going through with the clean up but some animations and they kinda confuse me, in one scene there is a character solo, and then someone approaches.

Was it always a duo , is it a multiple scenes, or is it fine to leave solo duo on animations?

I think i cleared most of the pictures regarding the search solo duo with the blacklists.

opencanvas
comic
multiple_images
multiple_scenes
multiple_positions
collage
mosaic
version
version_comparison
sequence

But i'm sure there are more things to clean, and there were some animations and some confusing pics i couldn't decide.

It's kinda late so i'll check back another time.

Due to katt being a somewhat popular name for female feline characters, I'm thinking tagging all of the breath_of_fire katt images (where applicable, at least) as katt_(breath_of_fire). The majority of characters named Katt seem to already have their own suffixes, but rather than taking that to mean we can leave this one alone, we should have it follow suite. What's more, those where she clearly has Tiger-attributes should be tagged woren as well, such as post #241263 and post #510400; this also applies to cray breath_of_fire and rei breath_of_fire.

Breath of Fire Katt is by far the most popular usage, so that should remain as the main tag. No need to disambiguate her, the other characters just need to be moved elsewhere. Though I don't see any under that tag..?

post #56350 and post #53330 are a different character.

Found some more characters that need disambiguation (Much more so than Katt, at that):
nina
ryu (Some of these actually are tagged ryu_(breath_of_fire) and will just need the ryu tag removed)
rei
bleu (Her more modern name is deis, by the way)
momo
lin

About the neverending gender tagging project. A lot of the five nights at freddy's characters don't get tagged male or female, since they are robots I guess. I usually tag them with a gender. I also gave post #582393 crossgender based on the wiki. Is this OK?

I tag them regardless of if they are robot or not. You can either see a gender or you can't and it's ambiguous. This is how I've handled them at least.

Usually they end up with canon genders (almost all male) because that's just how people draw them. The only exception seems to be Chica who seems to be either female or ambiguous depending on the post. Needless to say going through rating:e/rating:q was a lot easier than rating:s is...

That being said... You don't need -herm because -intersex covers that. I'd suggest blacklisting or negating zero_pictured because it really helps clean up the pages (particularly the older posts).

Since I started the project (almost 1 month ago actually) I've got it down from 119 pages to ~50...which is ridiculously awesome since almost all of what's left is rating:s. It was sad seeing how much rating:e stuff managed to have no gender tags at all... What's slowed me down the most is probably trying to go through the flash posts because they take up a lot of time... That and discovering Cave Story.

Thanks parasprite, you're the best.

Hey, as long as you tag them ambiguous_gender where there's no clear sign of their gender (Bonnie especially), it's all good.
Chica is more often Female than not, Foxy tends to vary, and Freddy is almost always male. Mangle is frequently female, as well, while Marionette is... Fairly dang ambiguous.

Has Balloon Boy ever been drawn as a female? Somebody should get on that.

I've noticed that there's a lot of posts like these:
post #571922 post #329072 post #543039

Images where there's nothing but sky and clouds on the background. There's no easy way to search for those, searching for various combos of sky, outside, flying, clouds, etc find a ton of unrelated posts.

I think there's enough to warrant having a tag for 'em. Would anyone object if I started tagging those as something like cloudscape?

That sounds like a good name for it, and a good reason to add a tag. So it sounds like a good idea to me. Go for it.

Going for it. I'll get around to adding a wiki entry once I've finished tagging the basics.

Here's an another thing that I noticed while tagging these:
post #582697 post #117032 post #95854

Clouds that are solid enough to support someone's weight. I wonder if there'd any use in tagging those? Something like on_cloud might work..

+1 for on_cloud. Tagging those just cloud never seemed quite right to me. Should be easy to pull out a bunch of them just with cloud pegasus.

Do you think there would be any cases where these wouldn't work?

• Implication: on_cloud -> cloud
• Implication: cloudscape -> cloud

parasprite said:

Would it be possible to make a scene of a flying creature on a clear sky without any visible clouds?

Would that be a cloudscape?

As for everything else i give an +1

Like this picture, would it be considered cloudscape ? it has no visible clouds but all you can see is the sky on the background.

Just_Another_Dragon said:

I agree. Cloudscape sounds like it would work for any image showing the sky alone for the background, clouds or no.

parasprite said:

Yeah, that makes sense. I can't think of a good reason not to tag it, especially when we have so many other on_* tags.

I'll start adding those while I'm tagging cloudscape. Even if someone objects to it later, it'll be easy to remove by tag scripting.

Do you think there would be any cases where these wouldn't work?

• Implication: on_cloud -> cloud
• Implication: cloudscape -> cloud

I don't see how on_cloud could be tagged if there's no clouds, so definite yes to that. As for cloudscape... Yeah, like Just Another Dragon said, depends on whether that should be tagged for completely cloudless skies too. I wouldn't think so, and cloudless skies seem pretty rare anyway. So far I haven't found any while tagging these: just about every post in sky -cloud seems to be missing the cloud tag.

Just_Another_Dragon said:

post #570180

Skyscape just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I'm fine for using it for non-cloudy days, but it should probably at least imply sky considering...well that's what it is.

Ok, I went and approved an implication for on_cloud to --> cloud.

Cloudscape is a little tricky. Personally, I'd be fine to extend the meaning and include the few bare-sky images that are functionally the same. After all, cityscape is sometimes of a town instead of a city. So I think it'd be ok to have all skyscapes be tagged under cloudscape. Mainly for these reasons: 1, there's not going to be many bare-sky images like this to begin with, 2, people looking for one might reasonably want to see the other, and 3, I don't think there will ever be enough of the bare sky ones to justify having them in their own separate tag and be searchable that way. So I think it would be fine to allow them to be included in a slightly broader take on the tag. But it will have to reflected on the wiki so that people know that is what's going on. This does mean that implicating cloudscape to --> cloud won't work, but I think Parasprite's idea to at least implicate it to --> sky makes sense. So for now at least, I've implicated cloudscape to --> sky.

I created a couple of basic wikis for the meantime, but I'll see what else I can write up later today. It'll be really nice to have all these similar tags all in one place but I'm going to need to do some digging first.

Since nobody has posted any projects recently... here's one that still needs a lot of clean up:

sheath order:random

Certain user mistagged sheath by thousands (confusing it with both foreskin and genital_slit), and those need to be fixed. I estimate that there's still at least 500 left. I'm almost sure that nobody's got time to check all 10k+ posts, but doing a few random sweeps would help.

sheath order:random humanoid_penis -animal_genitalia and sheath order:random -mammal -animal_genitalia might help pull out a few. I'll take a look at it.

parasprite said:

It's an artist tag (for visibility reasons). So combined with unknown_artist, that's two artist tags and therefore there's probably nothing to clean up.

Oh, I didn't even think about that. Gotcha.

Just finalized the implications between shivering, trembling to --> shaking based on this forum #148679 . But I'm guessing all three probably need a cleanup to distinguish them from each other. (the basic idea was shivering=cold, trembling=fear, shaking=reason can't be determined/other reasons like orgasm or excitement.)

So that's a tagging project.

Here's a small project that I spotted while working on other things: fossil is mainly used as an artist tag, but there's actual fossils mixed in. Such as post #331202. So those need to be located and moved elsewhere.

Furrin_Gok said:

This.

I've got dozens of these tags accumulated if anyone is interested:

• chase - character name
• wraith - A ghostly spirit, currently a character name
• slop - copyright
• aqua - character
• bright - character
• mittens - I have no idea where this came from, but it's a character
• crash - character (assuming crash bandicoot)
• void - character
• brave - copyright (brave_(disney))
• mixer - character
• bongo - species (probably)
• bass - Also a guitar, and a type of fish. Tagged as artist
• tiny - Character tag
• hebrew - artist
• medic - character
• celestial
• heaven
• lance - character name and type of weapon
• sissy - mlp OC
• lady - Lady and the tramp, a few fursonas
• jam - character tag
• boxer - both the dog type and that thing where people punch each other
• cell - character
• maya - character tag, also 3D art program
• cloudy - artist tag
• wander
• mirage
• crystal

Furrin_Gok said:

Maybe. Though that covers about 99% percent of the fossil tag, so it's a much larger project than moving the few actual fossils elsewhere. At least it might be possible to tag script some of the characters, such as fossil ~cherri_topps ~brenda_sawruss...

I don't know if anybody will get these right away but it's at least nice to have them all in one place for future referencing.

Leaking contains a great many pictures (over 2100 by my count!) of leaking penises which should use dripping.

leaking -penetration -pull_out -after_sex will catch out a lot of those. Most false positive will be lacking one of the three tags in question (notably in the case of ambiguous penetrations).

Conversely, one can find significant amount of mistaggings in dripping with dripping -penis cum, so that tag could probably use a good cleanup.

From what I've understood, if you can't tell where the penetration is, you just use penetration and leave it at that. I'm not sure how useful a whole new tag is for that.

Take a look at my profile under Current projects -> (19). It's been a long road but we're closer than we've been...possibly ever. I'm getting stuck a bit on flash though since they often take a long time to tag (I just do a few every day).

Quick tips:

• Use -female -male -ambiguous_gender -intersex instead of what you have. Since cuntboy/dickgirl/herm are all implicated to it, you only need intersex. As a bonus, you have extra room to do smaller chunks of it(do all the dragons, order by score, etc.).
• Put zero_pictured in your blacklist. This really helps a lot.
• I also put flash in my blacklist because it helps keep me on task but you may or may not find that useful.
• Don't start on page 1, start on page 10 or nearer the end. The posts on page 1 are much more likely to get their gender tagged within the next couple days than 6+ month old posts and it knocks it down a lot faster.

Yep. That's one of the projects that I've tried tacking from time to time, but usually quickly give up when it seems like there's absolutely no progress: last time I tried, I couldn't even keep up with the new posts. Same with projects such as -solo -duo -group.

I keep going back to that project every so often, it seems to me that the number of new posts I encounter with these tags missing are getting less and less recently as a lot more users are adding these tags during upload now. I think we'll get there sooner than we thought. :)

Time again to clear out the missing sexuality tags from this.
I'll try and spend an hour adding some tags later tonight, help would yet again, be appreciated.

I threw duo and group in my blacklist so I remember to tag those as I go along, same with anthro and feral.

A bit of a pain when actually looking for posts though. :/

Not a project, I just need some advice:

post #244348

I'm unfamiliar with various articles of clothing, especially in English. And there are no example thumbnails in the wiki for the clothes tag group. So, um, what should those be tagged as? The only current tag is "outfit", which is too ambiguous to be useful.

And secondly, does that count as nude? Or possibly half-dressed?

At a minimum, I'd tag it elbow_gloves + legwear. As for how % of dressed, he's technically wearing what looks like a black leather thong, so it'd be topless. You can see the strap on his hip though his junk could have easily been that color if the strap hadn't been there.

But even though that means this picture dodges the stickier tagging question, I've been wondering that myself. Do legwear, or shoes, or gloves or etc count as clothed? Not really. But does it count as nude? Also not really.

Now, usage seems to tag people nude even if they're wearing arm_warmers or gloves or legwear or shoes, etc. So I've taken to tagging nude whenever they're not wearing any clothing on their torso, but I'm not completely settled about it. I know that it seems to be common and seems to work well enough for some types of searches. But it bothers me. Becauase I'm confused how that leaves any way to differentiate people who aren't wearing a stitch of clothing (no hat, no socks, no legwear, no armwear, no nothing) from those who are mostly nude but still wearing accessories (like elbow_gloves, or legwear or hats). They happen to be both topless and bottomless at the same time in these instances, but we don't use those tags together, so that won't work.

So I've been wondering, do we have a tag for completely_nude vs mostly_nude? Should we?

furrypickle said:

Thanks! Elbow gloves, of course. In retrospect, that was pretty obvious. But the only tags that popped to my mind were detached sleeves and bridal gauntlets.

As for the rest, I'm along the same lines: it's not quite clothed, but nude doesn't describe it either...

So I've been wondering, do we have a tag for completely_nude vs mostly_nude? Should we?

There's a lot of low-usage tags such as semi_nude and partial_nude, but those are just mistags of the already existing tags: topless, partially clothed, etc. I already checked the other major boorus, and they don't seem to have a tag for it either.

As for adding it...
I don't think it'd be a good idea to add some tag such as totally_nude. Because there's 150000 posts tagged as nude, and getting those tagged would be too much work. So it'd have to be other way around, something like mostly_nude: that'd be considerably easier to tag, and some users might even find it useful.

There's a lot of low-usage tags such as semi_nude and partial_nude, but those are just mistags of the already existing tags: topless, partially clothed, etc. I already checked the other major boorus, and they don't seem to have a tag for it either.

As for adding it...
I don't think it'd be a good idea to add some tag such as totally_nude. Because there's 150000 posts tagged as nude, and getting those tagged would be too much work. So it'd have to be other way around, something like mostly_nude: that'd be considerably easier to tag, and some users might even find it useful.

Oh I understand spacing a tag name. I have a whole document full of tags with notes next to them, so that I can search it up if I really can't remember. I sometimes need that for my sanity. lol

And I think you're right about tagging the nude+accessories cases separately is probably the easiest way to do it. Not to mention it avoids later on having a really stupid conversation about why "nude" doesn't mean "completely nude" which ...lol... I think it's better to just not go there.

So nude = completely nude,
and mostly_nude = would-be-nude-but... they're still wearing accessories like legwear, shoes, hats, socks, arm_warmers, gloves, scarf, neckerchief, etc.

I don't think jewelry would count and I'm not sure about bondage gear like harnesses but I'm leaning towards not counting those either since they really don't seem like clothes. No clothing on their torso though, because if they were wearing clothing on their torso then it would be either topless or bottomless instead. And if they're wearing both something on their top half and something on their bottom half but still have bits exposed then it's probably somewhere in the realm of partially_clothed instead (panties_aside, open_shirt, open_pants, etc). That's the way I'm initially seeing it, but not carved in stone yet if you see it working better a little differently.

In any case, I think that with good wikis for both of them and with a thorough cleanup (I'll help with that), that this could work brilliantly. What do you think?

I concur. It should only be tagged if the character is wearing something that can be considered actual clothing. Which leaves out things such as jewelry, bondage paraphernalia, and bedsheets..

And yes, only tagged if the torso is bare. Otherwise it'd overlap too much with the other tags in the group.

Sounds like a plan. I'm not completely sold on the name but it can always be aliased to a better name if one ever comes up. But it does the job so it will work. I really think this will be a much-needed distinction instead of having all of these under nude.

And I'm excited. This one has been bugging me for ages but there's always a more important tag project to bring up instead so...You probably know how that story. I think every tagger does.

Just wanna apologize for all the work I've thrown your guys' way, but I've got another one to throw:
VDisco source:deviantart -source:furaffinity might need a lot of work, it seems that what he posts to Deviantart is also posted to Furaffinity, but he posts more over there, so if anybody could track down the images and tag that source too, it'd be awesome.
is it just me or is that search bringing up sourceless images?

It's not just you, brings back sourceless images for me too. Looks like a bug. If I were to guess it would be either the site doesn't like trying to -source or it doesn't like being told to search for two sources at once, or it doesn't like the combination of both of those at the same time. I'd suggest posting it in the bug report thread though, since that search should theoretically work. And that way the devs will know about it.

But even though that means this picture dodges the stickier tagging question, I've been wondering that myself. Do legwear, or shoes, or gloves or etc count as clothed? Not really. But does it count as nude? Also not really.

I wouldn't think they do, I tag nude on images where the character is completely nude apart from maybe a hat, or some shoes. Anything that covers up a significant area of the upper body below the neck, and anything above the feet on the lower body, should be what counts when tagging nude. Imo.

Currently identical metatags cannot be combined (only the last one is used), so score:>=100 score:<=200 only returns posts with a score less than or equal to 200. So source:deviantart -source:furaffinity will only return posts without a furaffinity source.

I've noticed the behavior, but it's good to know what gets counted and what doesn't. Particularly when I try to tease out bugs and/or trick the system into doing neat things for me. (one was me trying to tease out things still ghost-tagged fæces from just being tagged feces, but the easiest turned out to be using the edit posts mode with 320 posts per page and just searching for "fæces" under the web inspector).

Ah, ok. Good to know.

in the mean til, there are sme other tagging projects that need some love too :D

and off the top of my head:

• adding comic pages to pools
• ratings checking
• making and linking wikipages together (sometimes new pages need writing. sometimes existing pages just need links installed)
• TAG GROUPS -- find something, and start making a list of tags that relate to it. colors, clothing, species, positions... I'm busy writing one for arm positions. :P

I'm contemplating working on adding the "scalie" tag on all posts that have "dragon" on them. That's a good place to start for me right now.

If I go through with this, I won't assume that it'll take me too long.

It's dangerous to go out alone, take these: dragon -furred_dragon -feathered_dragon -feathered_wings -scalie

Thank you. I'll start right away.
