Reason: Those aspect ratio tags are in the general tags category, but they should be in the meta tags category.

There are many more aspect ratios not being in the meta category:
11:6, 32:41, 32:33, 13:16, 21:9, 9:21, 135:256, 17:11, 20:29, 13:14, 64:35, 9:10, 10:7, 17:9, 32:9, 6:7, 29:48, 9:17, 7:6, 40:19, 19:25, 8:9, 17:22, 35:18, 7:9, 15:19, 11:8, 11:9, 10:9, 33:50, 8:11, 100:99, 10:11, 21:17, 9:11, 13:19, 13:17, 22:17, 17:20, 16:13, 16:15, 20:17, 14:15, 27:22, 10:13, 13:12, 6:13, 16:21, 11:15, 13:15, 16:21, 24:23, 9:5, 23:26, 12:17, 29:25, 5:9, 11:12, 9:8, 13:10, 15:22, 50:59, 11:10, 17:19, 21:32, 16:11, 13:20, 18:25, 19:18, 11:14, 9:7, 23:30, 25:18, 15:16, 20:21, 26:27, 15:13, 2:5, 19:20, 14:19, 9:13, 22:15, 19:14, 15:14, 25:16, 11:17, 3:7, 11:13, 22:25, 13:18, 20:19, 11:16, 14:17, 17:12, 15:17, 19:21, 16:19, 12:19, 29:18, 31:37, 37:36, 5:33, 16:17, 19:11, 25:32, 12:25, 20:27, 24:37, 99:98, 13:6, 35:41, 28:39

You could have made a BUR out of this, since you went to the trouble of tracking them all down.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Pup will bonk me on the head if I approved this.
In case you don't know, they run a bot that automatically adds most common aspect ratio tags to posts.

The problem here is that aspect ratio tags are supposed to be exact.
If you wanted to search for non-exact ratios, you can already do that by (for example) searching for ratio:0.46153846153 (9:19.5).
Aliasing that decimal-digit tag to the closest whole number goes against this paradigm.

bitwolfy said:

but 9:19.5 and 18:39 are the same ratio, likewise 9:18.5 = 18:37... it's just multiplying both factors by 2.

Going to need to

unalias 9:19.5 -> 18:39
unalias 19.5:9  -> 39:18

as well so they can be realiased to the smaller whole ratio à la

alias 9:19.5 -> 6:13
alias 19.5:9  -> 13:6

wait so what do we generally do, aliasing it to smaller numbers, or aliasing it to more common numbers, which may not be the smallest?
cause things like 21:9 can be shrunken down to 7:3, but its actually currently aliased the other way around

what's with these dimensions like 6071:8598 that are really close to a ratio of √2 yet still not as close as they could be (6071:8586 would be closer, for example)?

its possible that the original canvas is one of the A# paper sizes, since the dimensions of them are defined to have a ratio of √2, and maybe +- some formatting

6071:8598 is B4 size. This is a standard called Japanese variation and is distributed in some countries including Japan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size

A list that allows you to easily check the standard (It is written about the number of pixels in Japanese) http://www.sizeall.sakura.ne.jp/abpixel.php

it'd probably be best to call it something like 1:sqrt2 or metric_paper_ratio or something, using 4+ digit starts to become meaningless

darryus said:

Excluding the current major standards, 100:99 is the largest meta tag number, but how far is this ratio generally accepted?
1-30 is the confirmed tolerance.

Should I move the nonstandard ratios (aka anything above 100:00) to a different BUR?

Anything not listed on tag_group:aspect_ratios should be discarded, I've already cleared out anything not listed there, and have an automated script removing anything not listed there running daily, because we do not need a tag for each and every ratio

the ones that remain are still a bit odd. like, why keep both 7:4 and 16:9? why 256:135 rather than 17:9?

sipothac said:

full list

10:9 = 1.11 (?)
6:5 = 1.2
5:4 = 1.25
4:3 = 1.33
11:8 = 1.375 (¿)
7:5 = 1.4 (?)
13:9 = 1.44 (?)
3:2 = 1.5
14:9 = 1.55 (¿)
16:10 = 1.6
5:3 = 1.66
7:4 = 1.75 (¿)
16:9 = 1.77
17:9 = 1.88 (?)
256:135 = 1.896 (¿)
2:1 = 2
21:9 = 2.33
24:9 = 2.66 (?)
3:1 = 3

the ones marked (?) I feel like should exist but don't (¿) are the ones that probably aren't necessarily or maybe should be replaced.

same applies to the portrait layout equivalents.

What's left over is what either is actually widely used, what people could come up with a use for or were listed in the wikipedia page for aspect ratios
I still disagree with 256:135 & 135:256, but it's listed there
It's also being automatically tagged by pup, so I can't clear it out either way

TBH, I've never seen a reason to add them manually. If pop9pup bot thinks they're 1:1 or absurd_megabyteage, then I can use the bot's tags to find stuff like that. Who was adding unusual sizes manually? (Rhetorical, we can actually look that up)

I've only ever added a ratio tag if re621 suggested it to me. I think Pup's bot has added a few others.

I'm not taking the time out of my day to calculate the aspect ratio otherwise (unless it was something obvious like 1:1 or 1:2), and don't understand why people are crazy enough to waste their time on something so pointless.
