How many *_panel_comics should we have? Currently only one panel comic is in the meta category, but there are more such tags up to 18 panel comic. So how many to keep and how many to alias away (to comic?)

I literally brought this up internally a few hours ago, and I'm personally not sure we need any of them

1 panel comic is definitely useless for our purposes, don't images need to have panels to be considered comics here? otherwise every image with a speech bubble would be considered a comic.

The other ones, eh... I guess they're not hurting anyone
One_page_comic does not seem necessary since it can be searched with metatags: comic inpool:false parent:none child:none

I don't think that's the best reasoning for keeping them. arms and legs only go up to 10, so it would be kinda inconsistent

honestly, even 10 is way too many for most stuff. I've said it before but a lot of those should be consolidated.

I feel like, for comics, anything more than 4 is kinda pointless.

Anything over ten panels and you're reaching unreadable territory. Excessive_panels might be appropriate tbh.

2-4 sounds good to me

Not commenting on the usefulness of the tag, but a 1-panel page as part of a multi-page comic still counts as comic.

One-page comic can still have parent/child posts for variations (which is what parent-child relationships are supposed to be used for, instead of for pagination).

The same person that made a wiki page for 1-10 has now made one for 11-18, so that's great
more cleanup for later

Maybe one panel is reserved for multi-page comics?

Anyway maybe keep the specific tags for 2-6 panels, then go over_six_panels and at 10+ over_ten_panels?
