Reason: got curious because of the halloween_2024 bur so here's some more.

getting ahead of the Christmas one since it somehow already has one post and i can only imagine there will be more once Christmas actually rolls around.

any of these can be found by looking up the tag and date, they don't need to be combined

These should all be aliased away, IMO, not just the individual yearly variants. Artfight is just a kind "chaining" where an artist tags another artist to make art, it's not much different from commission or gift_art to indicate why it was made, and says nothing about the art piece itself. All the others are just "draw [thing] on a particular day or month", but is otherwise no different from any other art piece with [thing]. They're better off as pools or sets. Catober, Drawtober, Cocktober, Kinktober, Lycanroctober, and more... just for October alone. I don't think we need tags for "[thing], but made/published on or for [date] with no other difference." At least inktober is a registered trademark, so can apply to art properly associated with the IP (though I wager most are just claimed as related by the artist, with no real association with the trademark owner), but all the others just come across as vanity tags that are no different from the same themes drawn on other days.

Sometimes it's mentioned in the post itself, like vore day for post #5051332 (in dialogue). That doesn't mean they should continue as tags for simply posts made on a day featuring a theme, but possibly actual references could be tagged.

I'm not a fan of tagging things that are just in dialog irrespective of what's otherwise in the image, including things like good_boy and thank_you. That's how we get silly things like name_in_dialogue, species_in_dialogue, name_in_inner_monologue, name_in_narration, etc.

(good boy isn't even a dialogue tag, it's worse)

It's supposed to be according to its wiki, but that's part of the problem. I see the same fate befalling tags like these if they're kept as dialog reference tags, where people will just tag them on images taking part in the... challenge(?), rather than being expressly referenced in the image.
