DB WORKSHOP: Tag discussion

@Background Pony #3CA6  
If you want to tag over 84k pictures, with a useless tag, have fun with that.

@Background Pony #3CA6  
Either no actual favourite from Roboshi after a certain lenght of time (two days, I think), or an image that is made just for shocks (in that case, Roboshi’s favourite or not, it gets the tag)

food pony tag has been aliased with original species

@Background Pony #3CA6  
Infinite. There are lots of things Roboshi doesn’t fave, and I actually nuked the tag the other day. Let’s keep it that way, and if you really want to see what stuff he doesn’t fave, just search for -faved_by:Roboshi instead.
 
@Background Pony #8B28  
As I mentioned in Tag Aliases as well, I unaliased (read: destroyed) the food pony tag, added it to just one pic and set the implication correctly. Someone will have to go through the original species tag and readd food pony where appropriate. I don’t remember ever doing anything with the food pony tag before today, btw.

@Heroine Addict  
That works for me. Thank you.

@Daxn  
Um, why would you tag an image that Roboshi faved with @no fave from roboshi?

The [solo](/tags/solo) tag needs some serious cleanup. Just try searching for “<character1>, <character2>, solo”, and you’ll come up with dozens of improperly tagged images.

should noseboop be changed to nuzzle/nuzzling ?  
 
and boop just boop ?  

What exactly qualifies an image for the [crack shipping](/tags/crack+shipping) tag in addition to the [shipping](/tags/shipping) tag?

@Background Pony #3CA6  
From the looks of it, it seems like those are very unusaul and weird ships that don’t make a lot of sense. But it kinda seems overused.

Personally I prefer to limit it to ship pics that you had no chance in hell to find otherwise. For example, Rarity x Tom may be a crach ship but it’s a pretty well known one. On the other hand, Tom x Gummy >>422880 - you could not make that up.
 
Obviously a lot of “normal” ships are quite cracky. Crossover shipping (’t has a tag). Most lesbian pairings, rule 63 selfcest, and so on.  
The point is, these do have a kind of fanon-accepted logic (twisted and pervy logic it may be).  
Crack shipping is meant to be tagged when it defies all usual (fan) logic and expectations.

“my little pony” - let’s delete it Admins, it’s redundant. Also, it seems it was added on most old pics 2 months ago by a BG pony.

@Vree  
On some things it seems ok to have them. Most of them memes, like the “reaction if…” ones, or if we have the logo. Still it could be deleted by 80% or so.

@Mad Black  
Yeah, except it’s only tagged on a very few “reaction if” ones, and last I checked we had a logo tag which has mostly things focusing or parodying, well, the show logo. Thus, it all boils down to  
 
I think it’s actually one of the tags we just nuke on a semi-regular basis, lol.  
So, if you think it can be made into something useful and consistent, go ahead, otherwise it’s getting nuked.

young granny smith (185)  
granny smith, younger (101)
 
young granny smith, -younger (140)  
young granny smith, -granny smith: there were 15 of these, I updated them with granny smith tag.
 
She seems to be the only character now who has a “young x” tag for herself. I think “young granny smith” tag is safe to convert to “younger” if batch changes like that are possible.

@cheezedoodle
 
And on that thought, there’s quite a few “Filly X” tags (Filly Twilight, Filly Rarity, etc). Should those not be Twilight Sparkle, Younger, and Rarity, Younger, etc.?

@cheezedoodle  
Those tags are to be more specific which character is younger. It is kinda like the woona and cewlestia tag.

@Mad Black  
Yeah, we have kinda the same thing for futa characters. We should check their implications though, and those of the filly stuff as well… soon  
One day I want to make a sort of “tag browser” thing that shows you not only actually implied tags, but also ones often co-occuring etc. Kinda like a web-thing, kinda forgot the exact word for it. There’s probably some people on here that could just spend all day going through it, finding implications that should be a thing, implications that aren’t that great after all, etc.

@barbeque  
You mean like adding a related tags section when you search for tags here?

Ponies using their hooves as hands.  
We need a consistent tag for this.
 
“no hands” and “no fingers” exist, but both are only on a small number of images so I’m wondering if some other better known tag that I am unaware of exists.
 
It is of some interest that The Other Booru uses the tag “I shall not use my hooves as hands” for this, apparently based on something Lauren Faust wrote in the MLP Bible, as explained in this Roundstable thread.
 
I do not neccessarily suggest that we adopt it because it’s too long and who remembers it anyway (and who knows how true it is ‘cause I can’t find any traces of Sibsy/Faust actually having said it), but we need a tag to the same effect with a simple name still.
 
EDIT: Oh, we have this too: “dexterous hooves”.

@Vree  
dexterous hooves is the preferred tag.

@WingbeatPony  
Thanks!

We need to think up “big boob pun” tags for Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk. Someone’s already suggested “Aria Bazookas” for Aria Blaze, but I wanted to ask what others thought of it. And, we still need two for Adagio and Sonata.

I have a question about >>585269.  
So [explicit](/tags/explicit) images really need the [explicit source](/tags/explicit+source) tag?
 
@Mad Black  
Those kinda of tags seem fairly arbitrary. We have [preglestia](/tags/preglestia) but no @humanized rarity, for instance.
 
@Silent_Witness  
Likewise for the “boob pun” tags, which are particularly finicky. I think we need standardized aliases for these, like typing [busty rarity](/tags/busty+rarity) results in @raritits.
 
@Vree  
What “Other Booru”?  
Also, that tag is cumbersome as fuck.

@Silent_Witness  
I’ve seen “sonata bust”
