General Tag Discussion

@Blissful690  
Uh, I don’t mind the name, but I don’t know if it would be a good fit. was it confirmed in a toy line?

@Background Pony #3D6C  
If you want to get pedantic, the Luftwaffe were not Nazis.

@ArmadilloEater  
Nope, it was confirmed in the description of a clip from The Last Problem they uploaded today.

@Blissful690  
As far as I’m concerned I don’t think a throwaway line on a youtube description is enough to change the tag, but I’ll let others weigh in. “Queen” in the show has had negative connotations.

@Blissful690  
Right, and Queen Twilight Sparkle should be for Twilight from The Last Problem, because under the tag Queen Twilight is either corrupted Twilight or as a changeling.
 
@ArmadilloEater  
How about queen Novo? She is not an evil queen.

@ArmadilloEater  
I’d also stay with Princess (2.0). They still called her Princess at the coronation, didn’t they? If Celestia and Luna could be princesses for over a millennium, why should Twilight suddenly change it?

@ArmadilloEater  
I don’t necessarily think that the connotations are that much of an issue here, but I do agree that a description on one Youtube video isn’t really enough to require renaming a tag.
 
That being said, this seems like a relevant juncture to bring up a topic I raised on the subject of this particular tag a while back.

@Deserter  
“Pedantic” generally implies “being in any way correct”.

Is there a reason wandering sunrise is a separate tag in addition to the oc:wandering sunrise tag? Same for nyota

@Background Pony #EFDB  
Besides uploader/artist being slightly misinformed, and quite prolific?

@saby  
 
I was asking you guys.

what are the rules around users making their own tags?  
i’ve found a tag called “tututiful”, and it’s all tagged by the same guy. is this allowed?

@Nightmare Fuel  
As long as the tag is generally useful to people (not just one person’s own alternative to making a gallery), it’s fine.

@Princess Luna  
It looks like it’s just pictures of ponies in tutus, that looks like it should just be a personal gallery.

@Princess Luna  
alrighty. thanks a bunch!
 
@Background Pony #332B  
that’s what i thought too. there’s even “tutu cute”, again by same guy.

Applejack is always wearing a stetson, right?  
So applejack’s hat could imply stetson along with the other tags.

@rannius  
No, Applejack is wearing a cowboy hat, because Stetson is a brand name and abso-gorram-lutely not a valid generic term for a random Western style hat, no matter how hard clueless foreigners try to pretend it is. Neither the John B. Stetson Company nor its modern descendant Hatco have ever made a hat which looks anything like Applejack’s signature Stinky Bottom’s Discount Hat Emporium model.

@TexasUberAlles  
I think you might’ve lost this semantic hat naming battle already…

Is there a tag for screen captures like:  

 
What do I tag for these? “General screencap”? Variations of “screencap” all seem to be for episodes only.

@Background Pony #8B47  
Maybe “game maker”

Should a crossover image which features a Pony OC interacting with canon characters from a different series be tagged as oc only?

@Wildcard71  
Thanks. But for screencaps in general, looking around, there seems to be “screenshots” tag. Maybe that’s it.  
Examples:  
>>2207950 (explicit)  
>>2173256

Ahegao only pics are safe right? I’m seeing them tagged safe, suggestive, and questionable, despite all looking very similar.  
Safe  

 
Suggestive  

 
Questionable  

Ok, what the fuck just happened with tags on my crying Starlight pic?

@Panko Pai  
Looks like a new user (who isn’t very experienced with tagging yet) came by. He seems to have a habit of creating lots of new tags.
 
I wish new people would lurk a bit first. Cleaning up after them is timeconsuming.
