New feature idea: Add a hidden “caption” section to the image, allowing people to fill in the text contents of the image, making its contents searchable on the site.

1. Legacy of when the show was 99% ponies-only (except for Spike) and a tag for pony would be redundant
2. People who find a “pony” tag duplicative because they already tagged “unicorn” (or assumed it to be implied from the character tag)

Also, in certain weird edge cases like screenshots of Derpibooru, it might still be useful to have conflicting tags, for example if a solo image’s thumbnail and a duo image’s thumbnail are in the screenshot.

For the “derpibooru exclusive” tag to change the source input to “Derpibooru exclusive”.

Tag incompatibilities.

(and those conflict/incompatibility rules have to be created first)

Related to tag incompatibilities, mandate that images contain at least one species tag or the no pony tag.

1. Requires manual organization (creating a “notable Derpi comments” bookmark folder, etc) to stay manageable. Theoretically more powerful if you invest in the ecosystem, but massively less convenient.
2. Doesn’t carry over between browser ecosystems (think of someone who uses Safari on their iPad and Chrome on the PC)

Tag incompatibilities. For example, “gradient background” says that by definition it cannot also be a “simple background”, so adding ‘gradient’ would block/remove ‘simple’. This would be applied to any tags that are often misused or contradict one another, like rating tags, adding solo and duo, absurd res and low res, using ‘safe’ and any explicit tag, etc.

tag markup for text (ie. >>pony or [[pony]]), instead of having to manually add links.

7. Button to bookmark comments. Useful in conjunction with clopfic in the comments and similar tags.

1. Automated tagging for file format facts? I know we can use the search for resolution and PNG/SVG, but most users simply treat everything as a tag.
2. User setting for anti-procrastination mode, similar to Hacker News?
3. Allow mods the option to preserve comments and/or descriptions on deleted images. I’d suggest preserving descriptions default to on. Comment preservation is more complex. It should default to preserving commentary if it’s a mass deletion, such as an artist taking down their entire oeuvre. Images with at least one comment of over 999 characters should similarly default to preservation mode. Images where all the comments are ≤100 (visible, perhaps 256 if markdown is included) characters can be assumed safe to default to delete the comments along with the image. ^{other related posts 1 2 3 4}
4. Don’t deliver notifications if all the new comments are deleted. Also has a dedicated thread without my involvement
5. I’ve apparently suggested linking related images (such as how e6 does parent/child images) for edits on multiple occasions: 1 2. It’s being worked on
6. Preserve post contents on posting failure. This happens both when getting hit with a rate limit (only mildly annoying, as those are almost all very short comments) and due to session timeout (infuriating, as that often mean an effort post was lost)
7. Button to bookmark comments. Useful in conjunction with clopfic in the comments and similar tags.
8. Search (comments & description) by length (word count)
9. Add a “download as GIF” option for reasonably-short webm & mp4 files.

Features not for Derpibooru or current Philomena boorus but in case a Philomena 2.0 is ever forked for future communities to start from scratch

1. Associative tagging, a.k.a. noun tags and verb tags. Not for any existing booru with 3 million images under the current system.
2. ActivityPub integration for compatibility with Pleroma, Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, etc…
