The bulk update request #3798 is active.

change category 2d_(artwork) (4) -> invalid

Reason: The great majority of art here is 2D/drawn, and posts that are 2D lack the 3d_(artwork), making a 2d_(artwork) tag unnecessary. The relatively few rare posts that are a 2D/3D mix would be better served with a tag specific for that, which would be easier to apply as there'd be far fewer than trying to add 2d_(artwork) to millions of posts (and inevitably miss many).

I'm not sure if it would be better to alias it to invalid_tag since it should just be removed and not need to be checked over, and I don't suspect many people would add it on purpose, but maybe some people would prefer it to just be in the Invalid category.

I agree, topic #31006

I guess I should search better, oh well.

I believe the mixed_media tag is filling that niche for now, although something more specific would also be good.

Duplicate BUR aside, I just wanted to say quickly that having it in the invalid category isn't a bad thing. It could be a reasonable typo for 3d_(artwork), and would generally be simple to clean out (either removing it outright, or fixing the typo).

Also doubling what Strikerman said, they got to it before I could.

err.... I think that a bulk removal of the tag should be undertaken; as we all know, no one is going to go through all of those to re-categorize.
