I cant uses this

Why no one add Treehouse logo tag in pics from Pony Life episodes?

@Background Pony #0179  
Cause the logo isn’t anywhere on the pictures!  
Update: nvm

@Background Pony #91Z0  
This is really annoying that they didn’t add this tag to pictures that contain this logo.

I am relatively new on Derpibooru and I am still learning my way around. I cannot seem to get an answer to my question, so I am trying here. I do not know if anyone has ever enquired about this before, but I would still like to ask to avoid complications.
 
I read that anyone can change tags on this site as long as they follow the rules and that they know what they are doing. I read the rules and I did know what I was doing, with a slight hiccup or two which were easily corrected. Also, as far as I know, the only thing that cannot be changed is the artist listed; for that, they must be notified. Still, there is something else that is confusing me.
 
When I started, I did not only add and change tags to many pieces of art that I have knowledge about, but I also created new tags and rendered several useless. I did not find anything on the site about creating tags or relocating art listed under them.
 
What I am asking is this: did I do something wrong?
 
You can see many of my tag changes here (v). I apologize for the long list.

@Brainless-Mind  
Generally, just starting out, I’d try to avoid adding brand new tags—that is, you probably want to stick to tags that already come up with numbers over about 10 when you start typing them.
 
I had a quick look through your tagging and it seems pretty solid. There are a few that are more a case of silly pseudonyms the site uses for things:
 
You tagged a few things self paradox when they should be self ponidox (read the description of the self ponidox to see if it applies instead of self paradox)  
I’m not sure if thigh reduction and butt reduction are really needed (always try to avoid making new tags or adding very low count tags).
 
A good way of finding tags (particularly officially curated ones) is with the tag search. For example:
 
This search is what I used to find the official ship name for Rainbow Dash + Rarity + Applejack.

@Brainless-Mind & @Damaged  
Agreed, and I would just add that for myself if I haven’t used a tag before I search the tag and look to see how it’s been used by others.
 
And if I add a tag to an image and the count of that tag is 1 then I know I either misspelled it, or just invented a new tag so I remove that tag from the image and search the tags for something more appropriate.
 
And if a tag I add has less than, say, about 100 uses on the site, I suspect that I might be using a tag that is deprecated, or one that is some vanity tag someone invented for their own use which will eventually be deleted or merged with some other tag, or a tag that is very rare and if that happens I double check that I’m using it correctly.
 
Generally your tagging is fine, and if you worry that you might be mistagging things just slow down, and double check how the tag’s been used in the past.
 
And if you’re really not sure, you can ask here.

Thank you for the helpful info.
 
I am familiar with the tag search engine and have used it many times. I always try to be careful when I’m tagging, and if I make a mistake, I go back and fix it. Also, to be clear, butt reduction and thigh reduction were not made by me.
 
To elaborate a little more, the tags that I’ve created include the following (v). I’m pretty sure that these are all of them, but, unfortunately, Derpibooru doesn’t seem to remember every one.
 
h. r. pufnstuf (replacing hr pufnstuf)  
wilhelmina w. witchiepoo [replacing witchiepoo (and appears to be questionable now on my part)]  
vroom broom (replacing broombroom)  
orson vulture  
jimmy (h.r. pufnstuf)  
h.r. pufnstuf (character)  
dr. blinky  
element of humanity  
fanfic:return of humanity
 
 
I even resurrected one tag that had fallen out of use.
 
four breasts (not to be confused with crotchboobs plus chestboobs)
 
 
Also, I know that this may fall under a different category, but as I had learned of the tag entitled fanfic:the lost element coming into existence, I had all of the art from the lost element transferred over.
 
 
In conclusion, do these work or should I change some things?

@Brainless-Mind  

 
Aliased hr pufnstuf -> h. r. pufnstuf since that is the actual name of that franchise and to match “h.r. pufnstuf (character)” and “jimmy (h.r. pufnstuf)”
 
Also aliased:  
witchiepoo -> wilhelmina w. witchiepoo  
broombroom -> vroom broom  
the lost element -> fanfic:the lost element
 
Those H. R. Pufinstuf tags are fine. In fact, they largely don’t matter because they’re all crossover tags. That’s not our franchise. Perhaps the character tags should parenthetically identify that they are H. R. Pufinstuf characters so they don’t interfere with MLP franchise characters, but I’m sure if it becomes a problem it will be easy enough to fix because it’s just a handful of images.
 
I don’t know if “four breasts” is a thing we need to tag, or if multiboob already covers that. Someone who knows more about tagging should weigh in, if appropriate.
 
The only thing I would suggest changing is that if the image has H. R. Pufinstuf characters in it, and it’s on this site, it should also have the “crossover” tag because that is the parent tag for “stuff that isn’t exclusively from our focus franchise”. I added the crossover tag to the images that seemed to need it.
 
Beyond those thoughts, I don’t see any problems at all.

@Derpy Whooves  
No results come back when I look up “h. r. pufnstuf”.

@Blissful690  
Dangit. Yeah, of course there’s even more variations of tagging for those six images. Soon we’ll have as many aliases as images 9__9
 
Give me a hand with this - what’s our convention for things with two letters like that - is it “H. R.” or “H.R.” or “HR”?
 
Should it be:
 

@Brainless-Mind  
What does that even mean?

Are catface and :3 distinct, or should they be aliased?

@Background Pony #52BA  
Everypony does it. I can’t even say.

@Derpy Whooves  

I’d say multiboob covers it fine. Although since I found triboob, if it doesn’t get aliased, then we need to clean up some tags. Found some other ones while browsing the tag pool.
 
four breasts, quadriboob, -> quadboob  
(To be in line with triboob )
 
three breasts -> triboob  
||  
boob suck, boob sucking, breast suckling, nipple suck, nipple sucking, nipple suckling, sucking nipple -> suckling
 
grabbing breast, breast grope -> breast grab
 
licking anus, anus licking -> analingus
 
cock licking, penis lick, penis licking -> licking cock
 
dildo licking -> licking dildo
 
licking vagina, licking pussy, pussy lick, lick pussy, pussy lickling -> cunnilingus
 
ball lick -> ball licking
 
testicle bra, ballbra -> ball bra
 
mare pussy, equine vagina, mare cunt -> anatomically correct
 
feet licking, foot lick, lick foot, sole lick -> licking foot  
|| (more explicit/fetishy territory) I HOPE I got everything. And this list was all because I saw some dang licking outliers that brought me down that hole.

@Derpy Whooves  
Larson’s tag is m.a. larson, so that format is  

@TexasUberAlles  
I still owe him a beer, so … so say we all. I’ll fix it in the morning.

Oh, dear. I was hoping to make another reply before this started getting out of hand.
 
As I was saying before, in regards to wilhelmina w. witchiepoo, I simply didn’t know if I should’ve left it alone in the first place or not. After all, ‘Wichiepoo’ is what they called Billie Hayes’ character in the opening credits of “H.R. Pufnstuf” and when her name was mentioned in said show. The new tag that I created was her full name, used in rarer instances. Oh well, what’s done is done there.
 
Next, Wichiepoo’s flying machine was actually called the vroom broom. Broombroom was the wrong label to begin with. I can understand it as being a mishear in the audio; even I thought that’s what it was called when I was young. As a result, ‘vroom broom’ doesn’t need that alias.
 
As for four breasts versus multiboob, couldn’t the former imply the latter?
 
At present, the tag is typed out as h.r. pufnstuf. I admit that I typed it out wrong in my post. Also, that is how it is smelled out on the Wikipedia page for the show and the title character. I’m sorry for causing that alias trouble.
 
Lastly, regarding fanfic:the lost element, do fanfic tags usually have aliases like that?

@Background Pony #91Z0
 
What does what mean? Can you please be more specific?

@TexasUberAlles & @Derpy Whooves  
It’s h.r. pufnstuf now.
 
@Brainless-Mind  

 
That’s how I created the alias. broombroom → vroom broom means that anyone typing the ‘broombroom’ tag automagically gets the ‘vroom broom’ tag. The alias exists because both tags exist, but they are synonyms, and the less desirable tag is ‘aliased into’ the more desirable tag.
 

 
Don’t worry - nothing is out of hand. It’s fixed now.

Would anyone object to having Skellinore’s implications for The Break Up Break Down and Spoiler:S08E10 removed?
 
I just noticed her tag was implying a dead tag (spoiler:s08e10) that can’t be removed by regular users, and I was about to inquire about fixing it elsewhere when it occurred to me that it’s been two years since that episode aired and still having her imply either of those tags might be silly at this point.

@Brainless-Mind  

It could. Same with triboob. I just hadn’t thought of it at the time.
 
Implications:  
quadboob, triboob -> multiboob

@Brainless-Mind  
h. r. pufnstuf.

@Background Pony #91Z0  
Please drop it, the tags are fixed.
