I have seen both the tag my_little_pony and the tag friendship_is_magic They are the same tag really...cant the my_little_pony tag just replace the friendship_is_magic one?

I mean if you do a tag search on friendship_is_magic and put -pony and -my_little_pony then you get nothing. It a seems the friendship_is_magic tag is just an add on for the MLP tag...it seems useless.

Discuss?

Friendship_is_magic is the series, My Little Pony is the IP. All FiM characters are also MLP, but not all MLP characters are FiM.

There is more to my little pony than friendship_is_magic.
Also, OC ponies aren't tagged as frienship_is_magic

Yet you cant find ANY image tagged with friendship_is_magic if you take out my_little_pony. Its a useless tag

Friendship is magic is only for official characters/species from 4 generation of My Little Pony.
My little pony tag is also for all other generations, and OC.

That's because fim implies mlp. All fim characters are from mlp, not all mlp characters are from fim. And mlp -fim gives a lot results.

No one seems to care what gen ponies are on this site, ive seen the first gen of ponies even tagged with friendship is magic before. Its a pointless tag.

Bad tagging isn't a reason to get rid of good tags, it's a reason to fix the bad tags.

If first gen ponies are tagged with fim, and there are no other characters from fim then picture is tagged wrong.
Also examples please.

It doesnt make it a good tag...if you wanna search my little pony, then you will see ponies....its pointless to categorize them with gens.

Thats like trying to make a new tag for every gen of Pokemon. Its a pointless and a useless tag.

It's not useless tag, me and probably many people are using fim because I don't want to have pure OC pics in my search.

Searching for my little ponies don't give you "ponies", but characters or species from mlp. It includes, for example, certain gryphoness. Also not all ponies gets mlp tag.

This thread just needs locked.
There's no way either of those tags is going away.

Mhm bad alias. FiM is the show and My Little Pony is the whole pizookie. Big difference and the tag isn't useless and it serves a purpose like what Ham and Gilda explained.

Alias denied.

Alrighty then, but may I ask for the "Official reason" for such denial? Just curious.

Read everyone else's posts.

Don't bother, guys, Conker's just trying to stir shit up, I think. If he's not, though, I'm taking my own crack at explaining this.

Remember, Conker, human implies primate, but primate doesn't imply human.
Simpsons: The Movie implies The Simpsons, but The Simpsons does not imply Simpsons: The Movie.

Similarly, as friendship_is_magic is a subset of my_little_pony,
friendship_is_magic implies my_little_pony
but my_little_pony cannot imply friendship_is_magic.

Everyone's post isnt the "official reason" I just want to know the reason behind tony311's post of denial, to hear what there reason is and to see what they think. Thats all.

No I am not. I am just having a civil tag discussion.

I never said it did or didnt. My argument used was, if you are going to categorize ponies by gen # of MLP, then there should be a tag for every gen of pokemon as well.

If tagging gen is a valid tag and isnt useless, then there should be more of it for other things like for example pokemon.

GreyMaria said:

Secondly there is a flaw in that argument of yours. Wither or not its in movie form or 30 min cartoons it's irrelevant, as its still The Simpsons.

Oh, hi Mark.

Weren't we tagging by generation? If we didn't, we should, but having some tags like "Gen 1, 2, 3, etc" so it can be combined with other tags.

For example

• pokemon gen1 for the first 150 pokemon

my_little_pony gen4 for the mane6

Yeah, it uses another tag on the search but they work like metatags. no?

Secondly there is a flaw in that argument of yours. Wither or not its in movie form or 30 min cartoons it's irrelevant, as its still The Simpsons.

Exactly what she meant (as I understood). Unless inside the movie there's a TV with one episode of The Simpsons and viceversa

Edit: How do we deal with paradoxes?

...Yep, Conker is definitely trying to stir shit up.

Official reason: My Little Pony is the entire franchise. Friendship is Magic is the current rendition of it and it is very very different from the older generations. The older generations were sorta freaky looking.

The other reason is that OC's are not considered a part of Friendship is Magic and it would cause a lot of grief if people could not filter them.

End of discussion

cause the apple jack from series one is not the same apple jack from series 4, that's like comparing vw beetle bumble bee with camero bumble bee, they are completely.. different characters..

the horse says: Alias denied
