To my understanding, NATG is EqD’s specific instance of an ATG. There’s other ATG groups as well. Now the question is if they’re unique enough to distinguish or not.

Someone seems to think so. I’m good either way but if you want to keep them separate maybe un-alias artist training grounds from natg and then alias it with artist training ground and atg to help with the distiction?
Incidentally: newbie artist training ground => natg

Raritrap → Futarity
Or vice versa. Futarity seems to fit into the theme of Futadash, Futajack, Futapie, futashy, and futatwi, then we have raritrap which is admittedly a well known and used tag, but doesn’t fit the theme and thus won’t be looked for automatically. Aliasing them would ensure people can find that classy fashionista with the extra equipment more easily.

How to propose aliases:
-> Always use relative (only whatever is after the .ru/.org) links to any tags mentioned that exist.

It’s for his benefit as aliasing can take some time depending on the size of the tags and that speeds things up a bit.
One thing to note, though: when you link things make sure everything is lower-case. Looksee.

Link your requests please, I’m too lazy to type or copy/paste tags

Gotcha. Also, I think raritrap should be the one aliased, since futarity matches the naming convention. I know I said either way but preferably lets end up with the one people would be more inclined to search for and/or tag

eva 01 <=> eva-01
artist:raridashdoodles <=> artist:mootchblog
See this post. In case the grabber uses that as an artist tag.

Their URL doesn’t have a “c” in it, but their artist name does, and it keeps getting misspelled.

“I just manually aliased it because it would’ve clogged the queue for like twenty minutes otherwise.”
Is there a guidline on how few images should be involed, before we can just manually retag without running afoul rule 2.8? Or is it more a case by case thing?

Incidentally, I think there’s supposed to be a difference between ear wings and wing ears. That being one is using ears to fly like wings while one is having wings for ears. Don’t mind them aliased or nothin’, just pointing that out.
If you’re suggesting an alias consisting of about 5 images total, then it might be easier to just retag them manually to the big target instead of aliasing.

Thanks.
And you’re right about the ear wings tag (including one of AJ with ears where a pegasus normally have wings). I didn’t really look much into it once I saw the Celestia one.

Checking the description – or contents if no description is available – of the tags would seem to be the immediately obvious method.
