Sounds good all around, but:

Note that we also have freefall however that is used as a copyright tag (did not expect).

Also while I'm at it could waterfall imply water or will we have problems? probably not Actually we got a few rainbow falls and a few lava falls.

How about spring_(water) or water_spring instead of spring_(hydrology)?
Most non-English speaking users have probably never even heard the word hydrology.

That implication has been denied a couple of times (forum #64517), but I still don't understand why those should be tagged as waterfall.

If it's blood or frozen ice or whatnot, then it's not really a waterfall... Well, technically, I suppose a frozen waterfall is still a waterfall. But sea can be frozen too, and it implies water regardless.

Not to take away from the original post, but I don't think most native-English speakers have heard of the word Hydrology.

+1 I like the sound of water_spring, since it fits well with hot_spring. Could even make a nice little hot_spring -> water_spring implication if that's wanted (though I have a feeling that wouldn't work well).

Yeah, I don't like it, but I don't think you can stop people from not tagging "matter that flows or appears to flow over an edge" as waterfall, i.e. "a waterfall of lava".

  • I am not sure either. I thought that is a good place to throw some posts there. There is season too.
  • I have no idea about other tags there. I think falling is performed in the mid air. And for falling_down and fall_down, one is about to fall down but not yet, another one is already falled down. (Maybe just me thinking this way.)

I dunno, I copied it from wikipedia, and that's when I learned that word. When I first saw water_spring and spring_water, I got confused and messed up those tags with hot_spring.

Maybe you are interested in frozen_waterfall & cum_waterfall tags.

If you learned it there then chances are other's didn't know it yet, either.

Removing that tag because there's nothing in image to suggest it's a frozen waterfall; it's just a sketch with a bunch of lines for the waterfall, which just looks exactly the same as a waterfall.

season is apparently also ambiguous since it's used for the twys-debatable in_heat.

cum_waterfall

Those posts barely qualify as falls, if at all.
