Topic: Histories of specific tags

Posted under General

Is it possible to see what tags an image was on or possibly removed from? Or at least, the amount of times a tag was used?

Having a bit of a mental dilemma here because I swear this one tag said 124 before but I checked it today and I see it at 122, and I want to make sure if possibly an image related to it was deleted/changed or not. What would be the best way to find out something like that?

I recalculated all of the post counts for all tags last night. They should be correct to the number of posts at this time instead of slightly skewed. So you're not imagining things. But there were also no images added/removed.

Interesting, putting in the aforementioned tag in here brings up no recent/any posts showing that it was removed, yet I looked at some other images that I know had it in the tag history show that it was removed from them a few years ago. Those results do not show, when it seems like they should. I'm wondering if there was simply 2 images that had that tag but were deleted recently?

Ohhh, okay. You really did? So something was just a little bit off then. I'm trying to build a collection of all the images of a specific character here like an archive since said character owner keeps occasionally deleting everything from their gallery. The user by the name of Rasha.

The old site didn't do as careful a job at calculating the cached post count for tags, so they often read higher or lower than the actual number of visible posts. It was expected, and normal. The new site does a somewhat better job, but they can still become inaccurate, so it's better to treat them as estimates. What shows up in search is what is available.
