Topic: Tagging Cleanup/Discussion: Opinionated tags,under-used tags,tag-renaming etc.

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Found a tag you think might better off removed,renamed.or re-somethingelse?

Taking a look at the tags with few posts shows quite a bit of them that could be renamed (there_goes_my_childhood),removed (racoon_army),or improved in some way.

A sizeable number of these are usually spelling-errors (gyrphon),incorrectly tagged based off of an existing one (feet_paws,or unknown entirely (dfo)

Note that some of these could be artists without the 'artist:' qualifier,thus placing them in the general category.

Since going on a mass-tagging spree is generally frowned upon,feel free to discuss the tags you came across in here before removing,editing or if you are unsure what context they might fall under

anatomy_fail, badly_animated, and crap_art have already been aliased to invalid_tag.

i think nightmare_fuel is a valid tag as is refers to a specific type of horrific creepiness that is usually intentional.

sheer has been aliased to translucent already.

omnomnom and i'm_so_gay_i_shit_rainbows are funny.

i have thoughts on some others, but i'm going to sleep. so i'll add them tomorrow.

I still think sheer should have implied translucent, not aliased to. I like the clarity of the word "sheer," as it is obvious that it's referring to clothing. Ah well.
