I want to say that the first one was already mostly complete. The other two are free game.

purple.beastie said:
~snow ~rain -outside -inside

A quick note as I was going through these: There's a lot of characters named rain that got tagged as such. Also, snow leopards in the snow tag because people forget to add the underscore'd _leopard and did " leopard" instead.

underwear solo nude -holding_udnerwear -underwear_around_one_leg is SHOCK FULL of badly tagged stuff. There's your run-of-the-mill mostly_nude, but also a dizzying array of underwear_aside or underwear_down.

This is more or less done (~450 posts left out of ~1500?), I did however leave 100 posts tagged with underwear_down and I didn't change the nude tag on these because I'm not sure how strict we are with nude, see:
underwear solo nude -holding_underwear -underwear_around_one_leg underwear_down

Note that there are a lot of sequence, multiple_*, slideshow and animated etc left in the original batch.

Ultimate Tagging Project

This tag could be applied to as many as 600,000 posts...

I actually got white_sclera on my todo list, it's filed under the heading: Invalidate?

Point being that while there might not be much harm (except for a couple of MB of database storage) what is the gain? I guess you could utilize it to find all the other *_sclera, but the tag itself seems a bit superfluous, almost a bit like tagging eye.

chdgs said:
"Size_gender"/"size_dom_size_sub" tags are useful for finding a specific size_difference pairing, but a lot of posts tagged as size_difference are still missing them. I add them as I see them, but we also need some users to search for images tagged as size_difference without any of these and add them in as applicable. (If you're like me and cannot search that many terms at once, temporarily blacklist these tags and search for size_difference alone). ...

Should these tags be applied to both characters in a duo? E.g. smaller_female+larger_male or even smaller_male+larger_male? I assumed yes based on wiki. I guess one could possibly get away searching e.g. male/female ~larger_male ~smaller_female and get almost the same results that male/female larger_male smaller_female would (if tagged properly, of course).

Also, could we get someone to put up some examples of what is and what isn't size difference up on the size_difference and related wiki pages? Probably nice mentioning micro/macro as well. Would be nice to have for the borderline cases. E.g. a few male/female duos are tagged size_difference but would simply be average sexual dimorphism when compared to real humans, is that still valid for size_difference?

Last but not least I'd also recommend that if a regular user want to tag this to search for at least:
size_difference -big_dom_small_sub -small_dom_big_sub -larger_male -smaller_female
And blacklist other things for two reasons: Intersex tags are less populated in general and I'm going to skip intersex; I will tag mostly male/female with larger_males and smaller_female hence those tags will probably grow faster (unless I tire before even getting started).

Erect_nipples / Nipple_bulge

These are mostly done now. I'll double check them as I have time and cross them off.
erect_nipples solo -areola -nude -topless -mostly_nude
erect_nipples clothed -areola -solo
erect_nipples nipple_slip

Tag nipple_bulge where appropriate; remove nipples and erect_nipples when they don't apply.

For extra credit, while you're at it, tag areola, nude, mostly_nude, topless, clothed, partially_clothed, open_shirt, and wardrobe_malfunction.

edit: The number of nipple_bulge posts nearly doubled overnight. Nice work Chessax!

STuff tagged with human_genitalia and humanoid_genitalia should probably be retagged with the appropriate genitalia type (humanoid_penis or humanoid_vagina).

human_genitalia -humanoid_penis -humanoid_vagina is currently at 0 posts, but I didn't remove most of the human*_genitalia, since I just wanted to check if the tag is useless or if we want to keep it to group the two humanoid_p/v tags together? Though it doesn't seem too useful.

I Thought the few pics I looked at weren't tagged with the specific type. I'm entirely willing to go ahead and remove it entirely myself. Worse come to worse, only a pair of aliases are needed to recreate it.

Nah, you were right, I tagged the ones having neither, and true, would be pretty simple to recreate.

Circeus said:

And looks like humanoid_vagina could use major cleanup already. I kind of guessed that it wouldn't work well as a tag: it gets tagged too much for generic vertical genitalia. Which are common to most mammalian species, so it's rather silly to tag those as 'humanoid'. Especially when it's combined with the anatomically_correct_pussy or animal_genitalia tags.

(...maybe just rename the tag to vertical_vagina?)

What's the point of even HAVING a humanoid_vagina tag? It's far too much hassle than it's worth, IMO TBH.

Looking at arm_warmers it looks like a LOT of people are confusing that with elbow_gloves.

The Birdo tag still needs to be changed to Species, not Character.

I've been reluctant to tag these kind of clothes simply because I don't really know the difference (though I guess in reality it's fairly simple), and the wiki is not really explaining or highlighting the differences for that matter.

Warmers don't cover the hand/foot. Socks/gloves cover at least the palm, even if finger- or toeless. Far as I can tell, we don't tag fingerless_elbow_gloves, and that's just as well.

I guess that's seems simple enough, but just for leg wear we've got stockings, thigh_highs, knee_socks, thigh_socks, tights, panty_hose, leggings, etc. I just can't bother tagging this 'cause it's a mass of terms with varying usage and definitions... So for now someone else has to deal with this. Good luck.

Thank you.

There's the bridal_gauntlets tag for one specific type.

Another endless project: ratings.
It's hard to fit this in six tags, the best I could do is rating:explicit -pussy -balls -sex -masturbation -penis. Most of those are either rated too high (should be questionable), or are missing various explicit tags.

(Works better if you can add '-cum -penetration' to the search, but most users are limited to six-tag searches.. :/)

I'm going to start adding vaginal_masturbation anal_masturbation and penile_masturbation to posts where appropriate, removing the masturbation tag from posts where the subject is fingering/jacking off someone else. I'm just going to search: masturbation -anal_masturbation -vaginal_masturbation -penile_masturbation

Good to see that one taking off. :)

alright, thanks man. I probably cant do it all alone, but I can definitely make a dent :)

I'm happy that there has been a real spike in the vaginal/anal/penile masturbation tags since I posted this. I actually did something that made a little bit of a difference? coolio.

I hope I don't make people mad by asking this question, but:

What am I supposed to do if I see a tag, which is only used for, let's say...less than five images? Some of them are only used for one single image.

For example: post #116671 - 'mail_goes_where' (I know it's an old one, but it's just supposed to be an example.)

I'm still rather inexperienced, so I would like to know if I'm supposed to remove these tags or if I am supposed to leave them be.

Here's some informal, unofficial guidelines based on what I've seen:

• Condense them if possible, suggest an alias if there's a tag you think it might be merged into (e.g., big_booty -> big_butt)
• If it isn't a general tag, I'd leave it unless you are suggesting an alias
• If it has a subjective name (e.g., cool_armor, nice_tits, etc.) feel free to remove it
• Joke tags are discouraged more often than not (mail_goes_where is a good example of something that can be removed)
• The more underscores it has, the more likely you can remove it
• 99.999% of general tags with 1 post can be removed or condensed in some way
• If you're not sure about a particular tag, ask the forums before removing it

Could be, you never know. I still like to think it was largely me that got the general userbase to realize the existence of the genital_slit tag, but that's just a hunch. :P

By the way, does anyone think we could possibly extend the tasteful tag to include solo pics instead of only tastefully shown sex?

post #765968

See, I'm running into some issues here. I would normally tag something like this tasteful_nudity, but here that's automatically going to cause a conflicting nude implication because she isn't nude, just bottomless.

Perhaps we could change things around a bit, like for example converting all current tasteful tags into tasteful_sex (which should be a good plan anyway considering how ambiguous it currently sounds), then sticking tasteful and sex implications onto it, and proceed by aliasing everything tasteful_nudity and artistic_nudity to a tasteful_??? tag that covers both nudity and partial nudity. I just wouldn't know how to call that, but someone with a decent vocabulary might come up with something.

Oh, and of course that should get the same tasteful implication, so both the 'intimate, non-explicit duo sex' and 'solo/group only-mildly-raunchy pinup stuff' can also be found under a shared tag. Because why not.

Just an idea though, probably flawed in some way.

Well, that took a while but every post containing sound FX, music, voice acting, etc now has it's very own sound tag!
Now you can browse without fear of any of those unexpected/awkward/embarrassing moments when you've forgot to turn your speakers off! ;)

Well. Here's a massive project.
Someone went and tag scripted most of the MLP posts with various fur tags, such as blue_fur, purple_fur and rainbow_fur. Regardless of whether the characters actually have any fur at all.

About 20000 posts will need to be manually checked. The mistagged ones should be retagged as *_skin or *_body instead of fur.

MLP *fur anthro seems like a good place to start. Since anthro ponies often have skin instead of fur.

Oh, and check the species too. The same user has blanket tagged them by the original species. Such as Pinkie Pie drawn as pegasus = mistagged as earth_pony.

Well I'm gonna try and help with these projects. Put myself out there.

There is a big error i found on species tags
Panda are under Bear (Ursidae) that is under Mammal, while Panda are actually Marsupial
Red_Panda and Tanuki are breeds of Raccoon therefor goes under that tag / species (Procyonidae)

EDIT: no wait, Strip that, although Panda have a belly pouch instead of a belly bottom and cubs always born premature and still need incubation for 3 more months (Which is the exact description of Marsupial) they are still Mammal, Try to understand that...

That is incorrect.

Giant pandas are bears, which of course are mammals.
Red pandas are neither raccoons nor bears; they comprise an independent carnivore family.
Tanukis, or Japanese raccoon dogs, are canines like wolves and foxes.

Found this while cleaning up knot a bit.

post #84277

...
Uh. Any ideas on how to tag that?

I think I'm the one who created the Toad_(Mario) tag and listed it as Character. Can someone change it to Species since its over 100? Not to mention this makes sense, considering that the main character Toad is named after his humanoid-fungus brethrens.

Done

For one of my tagging project(s), I'm going to start repairing the damage I caused as a Privileged user.

I don't know how long it'll take me, but the important thing is that I tally up my sins and correct them.

Here's where I effed up if anyone feels like helping.

The mods don't have a user-specific rollback function? That sucks.

leomole said:

We do but it's impractical to roll back tagging when what we need to revert is mixed in with the other edits. The system also isn't terribly good at preserving edits made by other users afterwards.

Yeah. At least I'm trying. Although 150 tags an hour means I'm frequently finding myself taking breaks.

Just like old times.

Before I go into a tagging spree, should we go into pokemon fusion -hybrid and add in the hybrid to those, or leave it as fusion?

I don't see why not.

Adding hybrid is sound, go for it.

Should they also get the fakemon tag? If so, would be a good idea to tag it at the same time.

Genjar said:

That could potentially mess with people's blacklists, but I suppose they'd just have to change it to fakemon -hybrid. Personally, I'm kind of against it, though, as these fusions are a much cooler idea than fakemon, in my opinion.

Here's a project that's starting to grow too large, in case that anyone has time to spare (unlikely, I know): duo group -multiple_images -multiple_scenes -comic.

Posts usually shouldn't have both duo and group tags. Here's some common tips for fixing those:
- Two characters with a background character (or crowd) watching them: should be tagged as duo_focus instead of duo.
- Each Disembodied_penis counts as a character.

That covers most instances. As for the rest, the taggers usually failed to spot some hard-to-see character. Such as post #533653.

Genjar said:

In terms of the furred_dragon scalie posts, I've covered and repaired all of the ones uploaded before 2015 to the best of my ability.

I'll see if I can cover all of the ones in 2015 over today and tomorrow. And then after that, I'll repair my mistags across the MLP images.

Does anyone know what's up with the story_in_description tag? Assuming I'm not stepping on any toes, I'd love to start going back and adding both the tag and those little stories some artists write when they post their art.

Just wanted to clarify a few things re: that tag first, though. How long should it be before it counts as a 'story' and deserves the tag, how long before the text deserves a drop-down quote thing, what about commissioners who write stories to add to works they pay other people to make and then post on their own pages, etc.

Thanks!

My best guess is if it has coherent dialogue and description.

Trust me. I know a thing or two about writing.

• If it's less of a description and more of a story, go ahead and tag it story_in_description. There's no rules about length but a paragraph or more with dialogue is usually what I see.
• Imagine you come to posts just for the comments. Would it be annoying to have to scroll through all of it? If so you should probably wrap it in a \[section] tag. :)
• There's no rules about who originally wrote them. We're generally pretty lax about what goes in the description field anyways as long as it isn't drama bait, asking for upvotes, etc.

I did it. I finished going through the entire furred_dragon scalie tags and correcting my mistakes. I'm 99% certain they're correctly tagged, and I even noticed some other tags that needed clarification, implying, and aliasing.

Now I'm going to go back to the MLP images and clarifying species. I'll start that tomorrow and I think I should tackle earth_pony first.

Somebody made finch a character tag

and finch_([whatever this character belongs to])

I'd do something about that myself, but I already have a couple of tagging projects I'm juggling.

One involves what I learned from this forum regarding Pokémon Mega Evolution and the other involves what I was reprimanded for. The latter of which I already took care of the furred_dragon scalie posts before the year 2016.

Just a question: do we have a tag for this?

post #42047 post #439291 post #38389

One character 'perched' on the top of another.

On_top is applicable, but wasn't there something more specific? I remember it being discussed at one point, but can't find the discussion and can't figure out what those are tagged as (...if there even is a tag for it).

I usually tag with mounting + on_top. "fucking_from_above" (as the converse of servicing_from_below) may be serviceable?

Actually, no, on_top_of, when that was still an independent tag, would have worked, but on_top is way too imprecise to be any good whatsoever here.

I have no idea why on_top_of was aliased (I honestly don't remember doing it) but I'd be fine with restoring it if there's a use for it.

Edit: deleted alias

Oh, so the tag doesn't even exist yet? I was sure that it's been discussed before, but maybe it was one of those cases where it got support... but nobody could figure out what to name the tag.

We should start tagging those as something, it will be easy to rename the tag once/if someone thinks of a better name. How about mounted_atop?

Actually, no, on_top_of, when that was still an independent tag, would have worked, but on_top is way too imprecise to be any good whatsoever here.

How would that differ from on_top? Both seem equally unspecific: one character on top of another.

On top applies to all of cowgirl/reverse _cowgirl, female_on_top (it's implicated to those) facesitting etc. On_top_of (before being aliased, that is!) was used specifically for characters being on another without touching the ground at all.

Straddling 99% of time is also on_top, but it is almost never on_top_of.

It's not the ideal situation, admittedly, but it worked.

These need some cleaning: <color>_* monochrome -multiple_images -<color>_background -spot_color.

For example, there should only be a couple of posts under yellow_* monochrome -multiple_images -yellow_background -spot_color. Most are either mistagged or lack the <color>_background tag.

I've cleaned some (including red), but there's a lot of colors to check.
