I have _no_ idea. I'm sure @Genjar will pop up soon to explain it since it seems to be his baby right now.

19. The wiki for animal humanoid et al says

Is this true? Want to make sure before going through 3000 posts or so and removing human where appropriate

Yep. Just make sure to replace humanized with humanoidized, the misusage of the former is the usual cause of those mistags.

20. What's a monstrous_humanoid?

As it says on the label. Humanoid that looks monstrous. Created because we're cleaning out the monster tag because of constant mistags. This was just discussed on the forum couple of days ago, dunno how you two missed it.

Where? Here ? This is hardly a "couple days ago" and there's hardly any constructive discussion so I have no idea what's going on. (not that I use the tag a lot outside some mtg stuff, but still...)

21. Should screencap be an artist tag?

21. Should screencap be an artist tag?

Naah. It's an art type tag if anything, like Pencil_(artwork).

post #78330

*starts sklapping copyright: left and right like crazy*

holy fuck that is a metric crap ton of things to change for a single post! i decided to simply cut the entire tag list after clicking edit then pasting it into notepad to change it more easily. fuck that's a lot of tags...

around halfway through currently (removed a few unnecessary ones like blue_body and braided_hair (that has absolutely nothing to do with that playlist flash thing.). expect to see a number of alias suggestions when i finish this.

o_O hair?! that is NOT a pic, people!

edit: phew...OK...the copyright flinging has ended...for now. i would like to ask if someone could check if any of these copyright tags are implying the character tags listed there while i go back through and sort out what needs to be aliased/implied and where to.

also, lol @ tag_panic tag. never has there been a more fitting tag for such a post. well, that and absolutely_everything.

The disambiguation tags have got completely out of hand: https://e621.net/tag?name=*disamb*&type=&order=count

Can't keep up with those, definitely need more folks working on them.

22. should characters in a style like post #722358

be tagged with lipstick, or some equivalent? It could be the style of the lips, but the visual effect is similar - identical

-

Additionally, is there a tag for that particular body movement? (grinding, undulating? idk. Too many colloquial terms to list any specific one as well)

Tailmon~ on post #845110 said:
There should be a tag for a character rubbing their pussy against the corner of a table.

Maybe "table_humping"?

We have pillow_ride which is obviously pillows, wooden_horse which involves the BDSM object, and grinding solo which is just about everything else. So "grinding" seems like the best option, but the wiki says it is for rubbing against someone, not something.

This might be a repeat, but I just noticed comic -dialogue. Not all comics contain dialogue, of course, but about 1/3 of the above results do contain dialogue.

The 'missed' items seem mainly to be characters that are saying stuff but not necessarily directly conversing. Technically that may be monologue or something like that, but the definition we use of dialogue seems to cover monologues too.

savageorange said:

Use it for monologues too. Don't forget english_text, japanese_text, etc. tags while tagging dialogue.

could always take a look at... O_O holy hell! the "tag listing":e621.net/tag/index was around 1196 pages long when i last checked. how the F did it grow to 3.5k+ pages in around a weeks time?

well, you could always dig through that and sort out some of the low count tags (fixing typos, changing tag type as necessary, disambiguating, removing pointless or irrelevant tags, etc.). everything from page 510 onwards is under 16 posts and somewhere around page 1500 onwards is 2 posts or less.

Pruning the master tag list requires advanced knowledge of the existing tags, to know where to move the posts. Might not be a good first project.

Whatever you want to do. There's always tons of things to do.

But if I had to single out one thing: speciestags:0 -zero_pictured order:random . There's way too many posts out there that don't have any species tags at all. Which makes them hard to search for. So, for instance, you could scan that for species that you recognize and tag them.

Another thing that always needs work is *_(disambiguation). Those should be moved under the proper tags (which are usually listed in the wiki). I'd recommend combining that search with some tag that you like (example: *_(disambiguation) pokemon), to make it feel like less of a chore.

23. We have a penis_everywhere tag, do we have one for scenes where there are multiple penises present, but not 'everywhere'?

post #388860

the multiple_* tags seem to be used for..something

But according to the trend, multiple_penises would suggest a character with multiple penises (multi_penis or whatever it was called)

Not scenes with multiple penises in them

That's probably because talking (which one can reasonably tag without there being text in the image) was aliased to dialogue for some godforsaken reason.

Just noticed camp tag is now type character
wiki: camp (no article there yet)

is there a character named camp now?

Not sure why post #662740 (Nsfw) was tagged with camp. Change tag from camp to village.
(longer version: looks more like a village of huts. Found commissioner's upload ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9195297/ ) and it does says "little village" with no mention of camp. The character is named Sekvra (apparently no camp in name).

There were some related aliases about that a while back that were..baffling at best

involving the comic, speech_bubble, dialogue etc. tags. Can't remember what became of them

Armpits Tagging Project

As a member of E621 for almost 6 years, I've noticed that there is a lack of pictures tagged with the "armpits" tag, compared to how many pictures on this site would qualify for it. I've decided to take on the challenge of going through all the site's posts and tagging them with "armpits" where appropriate. Along with this, I also want to increase the post-count of other armpit-related tags such as "armpit_licking", "armpit_hair", and "armpit_sex".

I've already done this very project on Derpibooru (an MLP-themed image board very similar to E621). Over there, I brought up the ~2,500 images with the "armpits" tag up to about ~12,500 within the span of one year. I hope to increase this site's repository of tagged images in a similar manner.

I hope that anyone interested in this project decides to chip in. Regardless of if you have an armpit fetish or not, I believe that chipping in for this would make many users of this site very grateful.

Thanks!

Mew has paws instead of hands and no discernible breasts or humanoid figure, so I'd just leave it as feral.

post #541953

i only just now got around to disambiguating his name which happens to be coral. i've already changed the tag type of coral from character to general. oops, that wasn't supposed to be like that to begin with but when i first added pics of this character it was the only thing tagged 'coral' at the time iirc. i've since changed the character tag to coral_(codyfox) (codyfox being the characters owner and all). so if anyone happens across this guy please change or add the character tag(s) as needed.

well, i learned that lesson a while back when i started coming across numerous character tags with multiple unrelated characters getting jumbled in the search results. and that lesson is: disambiguate character tags as needed. otherwise search results for specific characters can get messy. :/

25. We don't seem to have a gothic tag, for posts like post #864871

I'm tempted to create one, but it'll probably end up being used for pretty much everything remotely related - there's gothic architecture, fashion, multiple medium genres, etc. and that's not even factoring in the religious/secular and classic/modern/urban variants

Should there be a more specific tag instead? gothic_theme maybe? classic_gothic_theme?

Really don't know atm, might make a full forum about it

I like this idea.
What kind of format are you proposing for the wiki? I was thinking something like this:

tag search - instructions

For example:

-solo -duo -group -zero_pictured: Add missing solo, duo, group, zero_pictured tags to posts.

Having different categories would help too.

Large projects:

For example: As above.

Small projects:

For example: solo_focus -duo -group: Add duo, group tags as appropriate.

Clean-up projects:

For example: inpool:true -comic: Add the comic tag to comic pages.

Was this the type of thing you were thinking of?

DragonFox69 said:
Was this the type of thing you were thinking of?

Pretty much, yeah!

Its main purpose(s) would be for easy reference. Specifically in the following areas:

• long-term projects that are currently being worked on without worrying about losing track of them

• documenting various common concerns/peculiarities that show up repeatedly

• something you can link to someone else, and they'd have a very accurate idea of what's taking place sitewide with respect to current, mid, longterm, and planned tagging projects
• documenting said planned projects

• something you can look at and pick up right away on a whim, without having to go through multiple pages of possibly unrelated discussion about it

• listing names/collaborations for tagging projects, so people can know who's doing what, (like the Armpits Tagging Project started by Eppleblam) which can avoid toe stepping/collision of interests

• If everyone is more co-ordinated/this sort of info is readily accessible, then maybe tagging projects can happen more efficiently, which has a bunch of benefits (ask Genjar :v)

There are lots of others, but those are the main ones which come to mind

o_O i think i just found yet another character tag problem. frankenstein seems to be tagged on all manner of characters. i doubt those are all the character, frankenstein. should it be changed to "general" type instead?

Looks like we need more folks working on tagme and invalid_tag. Those are at 200+ and 100+ posts, it's getting out of hand again.

Nothing really constructive to add atm, but just wanted to say I REALLY dislike that tagme tag

Since it accomplishes nothing that metatags don't already do, and encourages lazy tag uploading.

Hope it's aliased to invalid_user one day, if it keeps being used as a catalyst for deferrentialism

Frankenstein ought to be cleaned out then. Disambiguate it into Victor_Frankenstein, Frankenstein's_monster, and whatever our tag for flesh_golem is. That's apparently not an actual tag, strangely.

Where's adult or similar?

Never mind then :/

Either construct or just golem. One of the many tags that haven't been ironed out yet. 'Flesh golems' are pretty rare on E621, so that's probably why that tag doesn't exist. I suppose we could add golem subtags one day. Stone golem, flesh golem, etc.

Some posts of Frankenstein's monster might also fit under monstrous_humanoid.

titanmelon said:

Ah yes, the good old days. Back when I still thought that it might be possible to actually finish some of the projects I had been working on.

Most of them have doubled in size during the past year. Too much yakking, not enough tagging..

Added the multiple_penises_pictured tag to post #

similar to zero_pictured
multiple_*

search for mult*penis* brings up only multi_penis
multi*cock* brings up nothing

30. Glans?

post #417067

Someone created a forced_nudity tag, which overlaps with assisted_exposure. But maybe that'd be an useful distinction: forced undressing tagged as forced_nudity, and consensual with assisted_exposure...

'course, if we decide to keep it, then someone needs to start a project to sort the forced ones from assisted_exposure to the new one.

31. tasmanian_tiger should be a species tag

hahah nevermind, it's an alias for thylacine
Never noticed aliased tags don't have a tag type

How about some cleanup of deleted posts in pools (pool:* status:deleted)? I'd be happy to do the work, but I'm wondering if people would rather keep these deleted images in pools for some reason.

Duplicates can and should be deleted, but the ones that might get restored (such as doujins that aren't two years old yet) should probably be kept.

Anyway, here's a small task for someone. I was trying to write a description for outline, but evidently I'm not fluent enough in English to describe it. So I only added a few example thumbnails. Which might be enough. But if anyone can think of a good description for it...

Done. It may need a little tweaking here and there but I got the important bits in.

I just tagged typography on post #573798 due to the evident care put into making attractive dialog text. Assuming this is correct usage (there's no wiki), then there will be other images like this, in which the lettering is a feature rather than afterthought. More a tag to keep in mind rather than a project.

(Though I guess if you were really keen you could look through text -typography and -text -typography dialogue)

Actually, -text dialogue is a legit project -- missing taggings of text. Most of the 3000-odd posts in there seem to indeed contain text (I presume dialogue is not implicated to text on the basis that the content of dialogue balloons need not actually be text but might be icons.)

Same category as mermaids, lamia and satyrs. Whichever that is. They're all over the place: chimera, hybrid, animal_humanoid, and occasional taur. It's one of those things that we haven't got around to sorting out yet, but animal_humanoid (dragon_humanoid for that one) seems like the best fit.

Taur works best for four legs + extra torso, and including mermaids and lamia in it would be a stretch.

I think I may have asked this before, but what is this type of art called?:
post #577474 post #604054 post #760716

Dunno how to even describe it. Art with no line art?
I keep running into those, and thinking that maybe we should have a tag for it. Since there's so many other artstyle tags already.

Lineless seems ambiguous somehow: it's been tagged for posts such as post #475780. Dunno why. That doesn't look lineless to me...

Lineless_art would be a good counterpart for the line_art tag. Anyone against using it?

Genjar said:

You're right, was probably thinking of high_contrast, and color_contrast, which are both ancient and underused tags now

There's no established definition for what the flat_colors is used for, so it could really be for anything related to flat colouring

(no black lines = 'flat', if we're being technical, but I'm guessing that's not really a common observation)

-

titanmelon said:

Lack of shading, like MS Paint color fills. Most common among toony posts.
It's applicable to the examples I posted, but not something that can be used to search for lineless art.

Project proposal:

fan_character copytags:0
fan_character patreon copytags:1

It doesn't make sense to have a fan_character tag without a corresponding copyright tag for the series it is based off.

For example, post #874352 might get sonic_(series) added.

Easy but large project (~4600 posts):
size_difference -duo -group

Any size_difference posts should have more than one character. Therefore, those are either missing the character counts, or are incorrectly tagged.

Genjar said:

There may be character sheets and some other posts that don't use duo/group.

Lance_Armstrong said:

If it's the same character in different poses, then that's solo multiple_poses . And size_difference doesn't apply to solo, so if those show up, it should be untagged.

You should change it to size_difference -duo -group -solo_focus

Lance_Armstrong said:
You should change it to size_difference -duo -group -solo_focus

I don't see why...?
Solo_focus should always be combined with either duo or group, therefore excluding it would exclude some posts that need tagging.

^{...or rather, it would, if I hadn't just finished tagging missing character counts for size_difference -duo -group solo_focus.}

Almost finished one of my projects: nearly every post has at least nine tags now.

Here's the leftovers (just ten posts) for someone who's less queasy about vore and gore than me: tagcount:<9.

I didn't find many badly misrated posts anymore (such as blatantly explicit content rated as safe, which was common among tagcount:<8). So that problem seems to be mostly sorted out.

Not sure if I'll ever tackle tagcount:<10. It'd take even longer, and it was already hard enough to come up with nine tags for some posts, such as blank filler pages...

Easiest tagging project ever revealed
