The tag alias #47387 collaboration -> collaboration_(disambiguation) has been rejected.

Too ambiguous of a tag, currently includes at least:

• A collaboration where two or more artists worked on the same piece. This should also be a metatag but the additional uses are preventing that.
• Two or more characters depicted doing the above meaning in a piece of art.
• An umbrella tag for collaborative_fellatio, collaborative_titfuck, etc

EDIT: The tag alias collaboration -> collaboration_(disambiguation) (forum #298032) has been rejected by @gattonero2001.

In the case of "collaboration" meaning "artwork made by more than one artist working together", I say it should be called art_collaboration, with aliases to it such as artwork_collaboration, collaboration_art, collaboration_(art), art_collab, etc.

I have already created a tag called collaborative. It should be used instead of collaboration as a base tag. All someone needs to do is move related tags over and it shouldn't be hard to maintain without a disambiguation.

Thanks for coming up with a tag with the aim of seperating artist_collabs from character_collabs,
but taggers are confusing collaborative with collaboration.

wiki of collaboration: "Images or Animations that were created, ... by two or more artists."

326 posts tagged with collaboration, but only have one artist tag:
https://e621.net/posts?tags=collaboration+arttags%3A1

example: post #2805537 tagged with collaboration, but only one artist (shows collaborative sex )

RELATED: topic #25050 (except go with tags artist_collab and character_collab for more clarity? *_collab easier to spell then *_collaborative)

Now there are 347 posts tagged with collaboration, but only have one artist tag:
https://e621.net/posts?tags=collaboration+arttags%3A1

I suggest collaboration and collaborative are not clear enough as tags
and some people are getting confused between the two.

I was about to start a BUR,
but decided to ask...

QUESTION 1: should artist collabs get tagged as artist_collab OR artist_collaboration ? (or do you have another tag in mind?)

And similarly...
QUESTION 2: should characters collaborating get tagged as character_collab , character_collaboration , collaborative_characters , OR something else?

The bulk update request #3560 is pending approval.

remove alias art_collab (0) -> collaboration (10923)
remove alias art_collaboration (0) -> collaboration (10923)
remove alias multi_artist (0) -> collaboration (10923)
remove alias multi-artist (0) -> collaboration (10923)
remove alias multiple_artists (0) -> collaboration (10923)
remove alias multiple_artists (0) -> collaboration (10923)

Reason: Tag of collaboration too vague, and some taggers getting it confused with characters collaborating.

Now e621 has 400 posts tagged with collaboration, but only have ONE artist tag: collaboration arttags:1

Tags that currently alias to collaboration: art_collab, multiple_artists, multi-artist, multi_artist, collab, art_collaboration

BUR part 2 draft:
alias art_collab -> artist_collaboration
alias art_collaboration -> artist_collaboration
alias multi_artist -> artist_collaboration
alias multi-artist -> artist_collaboration
alias multiple_artists -> artist_collaboration
alias multiple_artists -> artist_collaboration
category artist_collaboration -> meta

(meta since collaboration currently in meta catgory)

The tag alias collaboration -> collaboration_(disambiguation) (forum #298032) has been rejected by @gattonero2001.

(in hopes of getting above BURs approved)

I again suggest collaboration and collaborative are not clear enough as tags
and some people are getting confused between the two.

example #1: Now there are 419 posts tagged with collaboration, but only have one artist tag:
https://e621.net/posts?tags=collaboration+arttags%3A1

example #2: 193 posts* tagged with collaborative, and 2-or-more artist tags, BUT NOT tagged with collaboration: collaborative arttags:>1 -conditional_dnp -collaboration -third-party_edit -sound_warning -bunniithundii

* = probably includes some false positives including maybe some with 2(or-more) tags for SAME artist:
(is komiko aka komikoe?)
(all 4 bunniithundii posts also tagged with bynubunnii artist tag ... seems like artist's e621 username is BynuBunnii at https://e621.net/users/1494149 )
(+ potentially other duplicate tags for an artist)
