Just curious if there are any circumstances where third-party edit should be tagged and the third-party editor should be included in the post’s artist tags.

There are a couple pretty high-popularity posts, post #4834391 and post #4839397, that are approved and have been around a couple weeks. They include the third-party editor oolay-tiger (and original artist ruaidri). There’s a bit of tag history shenanigans. Just curious if these two are oversights and should have the editor tag removed? Doesn’t look like there are any other oolay-tiger third-party_edit posts so that would be our default conclusion, but we’d like to have that validated lol

Generally when the editor has done significant work on the image. Simple edits like decensoring or cleanups don't warrant tagging the person who edited it.

In that particular case, we don't tag voice actors and audio editors, even if it's not third-party work. Artist tags are only for who created the image (or animated it, for animations). In cases like oolay-tiger specifically, it helps distinguish images and animations they've actually made themselves, from animations they've done audio/voice work for but didn't make.

Editor tags should stay, honestly. Removing them is stupid. Editors are still artists,
