Obviously I'm aware that tagging-related questions have their own section in the forums and even in the official e621 discord, but I think it'd be nice to have a stickied thread in the Tag Projects/Questions forum that just listed a bunch of frequently asked questions and their answers.
Some possible questions and answers to include:
- (top of the page should be a link to the Help Index and the FAQ )
- topic #45747 : do musical artists/songs get tagged? What if it's a music video for said song?
- Can I tag the commissioner of a piece?
- Do voice actors/video editors/3d model artists/writers/other non-visual contributors get tagged? (there's still some discussion on 3d modellers that has yet to resolve, but the current stance seems to be 'no' on all of these)
- How do I tag this character's gender? (https://e621.net/wiki_pages/3294)
- I've changed my artist/character's name but I don't want to manually update every post. How can I do this automatically? (alias/BUR)
- How do I make a BUR? How do I post a BUR into a specific topic?
- Why don't hybrid species (folf, wusky, sharkyeen, etc) get tagged?
- Why is (character) not implied to (species)?
- Do I tag (*_position tag) if the characters aren't having sex or if they're after_sex? (stand_and_carry_position for instance)
These are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's more that can be added as frequently-asked questions get posted to the forums. It's nice to have this information somewhere, rather than having to search the forums for a question that has been asked once or twice before.
