That kind of logic (“Instead of making a tag specifically for X, we’ll just rely on the existing tag for Y, because X and Y always go together”) is just asking for some kind of corner case to ruin it. Just off the top of my head, if one of the traditionally animated Pony Life shorts includes a brief bit of stop motion as a visual gag (like the original show did in a few episodes), then the “stop motion” tag will no longer work to distinguish between the two.
So I agree with @TexasUberAlles that it’s better to get the tags in place while the situation is more manageable, rather than just hoping it doesn’t become a problem (and ensuring that by the time it does become a problem, it’ll be harder to fix).
never big enough
As for the Pony Life shorts: They’re all Shorts, so I’m not sure on the need to specifically have a tag for pony life stop motion shorts, when it’s done by “my little pony: pony life, stop motion” if someone wants to be specific about which shorts they’re looking for/blocking.
I’m not completely against a tag for it, but I’m not sure it’s needed.
