I remember posting a while ago about influx of all the “nudist X” character tags on the site and if they are really needed, since the vast majority of them are are just tagged on images of said character naked, regardless of context (and tbh they feel more like they belong in a gallery then as a tag)
I remember a few of us talked about the “nudist” tag itself and what would fit it, but i forgot if there was any word on if the “nudist X” tags should stay or be purged?

There’s a recent image from Cold Twilight series and has a penis between two pairs of balls. Can anyone give me a hint on what tag I should use?

Neon Lights had similar mistakes in tagging, and that clearly used a different solution:
Use “Neon” and/or “Neon Sign” for neon coloration or actual neon lights.
For Golden Hooves, there’s an underused gold hooves tag that should work instead for gold-colored hooves. If something needs to be done, maybe reference that in the description much like how Neon Lights did?

Neon Lights had similar mistakes in tagging,
It’d be more accurate to say “continues to have ongoing mistakes in tagging” (and yes, I’m well aware of Neon Lights)
and that clearly used a different solution:
Use “Neon” and/or “Neon Sign” for neon coloration or actual neon lights.
A poor solution, because tag descriptions are not shown to users in the process of tagging an image (link to my feature request post about that). This means that tag descriptions are, at best, something to point at after you’ve seen someone misuse a tag because they didn’t receive that information up-front - something that currently can be accomplished by a tag’s name.

A certain user is tagging some of their uploads with the daughter of zarz. Should this be changed to “parent:oc:zarz” or turned into a gallery?
I asked the artist involved what’s up with that and with the zarz tag itself.
I think golden hooves should be renamed to golden hooves (character) to ease its misuse as a tag for hooves that are gold-colored.
Made an executive decision and aliased both the cinnabar and quicksilver fan names into the (character) tag and then made golden hooves an alias of gold hooves, and retagged the images where it’s been removed from the last 3 years.
@Background Pony #52BA
Whether it gets renamed or not, there should be another tag for gold-colored hooves. And it should imply colored hooves.
And hooves as well.

I asked the artist involved what’s up with that and with the zarz tag itself.
I randomly clicked on >>2122792 and in its description it says,
“The daughter of Zarz(Zahnrad & Schwarz)
Yes,Zahnrad & Schwarz have daughter.”
So, it seems that zarz is their ship tag for oc:schwarz X oc:zahnrad and the daughter of zarz would be however a parent:/parents:/offspring: tag would get formatted when it’s OCs.

Made an executive decision and aliased both the cinnabar and quicksilver fan names into the (character) tag and then made golden hooves an alias of gold hooves, and retagged the images where it’s been removed from the last 3 years.
Neat.
Although, now I wonder how thoroughly or not it should be applied to pictures of Pipp, who has gold hooves as a standard design element (in the same way lots of pictures of Zipp aren’t tagged multicolored wings)

@TheGamerPainter
At the time you made that post, it already had the tag balljob which seems correct. I don’t see a tag yet that’d be used for two at once - I’d expect it to be something like ”double balljob” in the same way that there’s double boobjob but I’d only think that’d be important to tag if there’s more than one image about it.

@MaresFillies
Wait, hang on. I’m not sure what you just changed but I think it might have been the wrong tag:
golden hooves (character) should be (and is) character-categorized,
and gold hooves should not be in any category (but is in the character category as of right now)
And then, gold hooves should get a tag description saying something like,
“Hooves that are colored gold. For the crystal messenger pony, use golden hooves (character).”

@MaresFillies
Thanks. There’s a problem with the tag description, though; the text of the link just says “golden hooves”, not “golden hooves (character)”
