General Tag Discussion

Not including human as a species tag with EqG characters has been canonically incorrect since Friendship Games, so that’s a welcome update.

At first I thought diahlia was meant for the same purpose as adordahlia, but then I see in the tagging history of one image someone added both tags simultaneously to that image so now I’m stumped, especially since they are the only person to ever use the former tag.

Should we add “rarititty” or “rarititties” as aliases to “busty rarity?”

@IWTCIEM
They don’t exist already, so, no…

@Roseluck
There’s a chance for case 1 you’ll run into an image of an Equestria Girls scene with non-EqG-style humans in it. The “pony coloring” tag could help here if it was put on all the images with them having their distinctive pastel colorations.

The correct answer is “no”, obviously, but what was the official Derpi position on whether or not screencaps from games and fan animations should have the screencap tag?

@TexasUberAlles
From the tag’s description:

So not meant for fan animations. Can be used for official games.

And of course it’s being mistagged because its meaning is unintuitive. People often use it for any kind of screencap/screenshot.

The same can be said of so many others, like cutie mark and solo male.

Can anyone describe the differences between these two tags?
muscle expansion
muscle growth

@Brainless-Mind
Increased muscles length
Muscles growing bigger

@Brainless-Mind
IMO “growth” should be for gaining something that wasn’t there before and “expansion” should be for something pre-existing getting bigger. It’s weird to say that a muscle didn’t exist, but I think it’d be fair to say that the test would be whether the character was visibly muscular or not.

If mlp oc won’t be aliased to pony oc, could it at least be aliased to oc?

Yes, I continue my vendetta against that useless tag and I will continue as long as it exists. And it’s not just me, just look at its change history. Red, red everywhere, with only one exception. Mods and users all keep removing it.

@JP
That’s what I’d do.
Make a thread to propose it.

Ponies ain’t the only ‘MLP’ OC’s, so aliasing “mlp oc” to “pony oc” would be just as wrong as “stallion” implying “pony” cuz pony stallions ain’t the only stallions.

I propose a compromise which involves the mlp oc tag being tied up and thrown into the ocean, because this a heckin’ MLP booru and non-MLP images get ex-ter-min-at-ed so oc already does that job.

@TexasUberAlles
Ah … that vaguely familiar, uncomfortable, slightly burning sensation when TUA makes an entirely reasonable and plausible suggestion.

@Ciaran
I could set something on fire if it would make you feel better.

@TexasUberAlles
Seems like that tag has already been fairly well burn out.

When was “fifteen.ai” put into the “origin” category?

@Blissful690
I don’t know when it happened, but it makes sense, since it’s the “voice talent” for some videos, and people need a way to search for it, or to filter it out.

I know I’m way behind on this, but I’m kind of surprised that the tag for “cute Dahlia’ isn’t “dawwlia”.

There seems to be some images under timber wolf that are missing the tag timber pony.

Which leads to me being confused on these two OCs (all three images they appear in are uploaded by the same uploader):
>>2901585 has one OC and is only tagged wolf pony.
>>2908006 has both OCs and is tagged timber wolf and wolf pony.
>>2908008 has both OCs but doesn’t have any species tags.
The inadequate species tagging makes it unclear on if at least one of the OCs is a timber pony or not.

@DerpyFast
I am too & it honestly should be “dawwlia” because “adordahlia” just doesn’t sound right.

“adoradahlia” ?

Should images be tagged things like “futa” or “cuntboy” (or implied x of same) when you can’t see crotches (and indeed, there are no visible indications and the posts are safe?)

Asking, of course, because I’m seeing some that have been.
