Looking back, that Background Pony seems to have thought of something similar to, but more extreme than, my thought process: I was getting overzealous of thinking about naming every single thing to do with some series with “name/title (series)” when absolutely nothing shares the same name.
 
Now that I think of it, I was also being kind of oblivious.

Would this be considered a missing accessory? Because Stellar Eclipse uses a Wheelchair, but Wheelchairs aren’t considered accessories I think.  

 
Also, why this is tagged fridge horror?  

 
Did any of the main six got stepped on or something? If so I think it warrants a “Bad End” tag

IMO they should be considered plantigrade because the feet are essentially shaped like human (plantigrade) feet, and function like human (plantigrade) feet. A lot of the pictures seem to be traced (or closely referenced) off photos of humans with minimal change to the foot. An IRL human could duplicate the look by putting some duct tape on their toes.

I’m thinking yes on “missing accessory.” Stuff like glasses count as accessories, even if they’re a necessity and not just personal style.
 
As for the “fridge horror” thing, it’s just that the situation is more dire than the image lets on, since getting shrunk down isn’t a good fate.
 
@saby  
I second this. It’s been discussed a tiny bit with other staff since it was last brought up, so I can say that my opinion is not representative of staff as a whole. I said tag them as unguligrade last time, but honestly you’re probably better off tagging them as just “anthro” for now and ignoring the -grades.
 
@Brainless-Mind  
Yes. I merged them. In the future, if you think two images are the same, you can report a duplicate under the report button on image pages. Also, this isn’t really tag-related.

There are tags that I’m not sure why they exist or are used:  
newborn filly  
when you’re a filly  
best filly  
fanfilly  
tough filly  
that is one troubled filly  
viricide filly  
catfilly  
death filly  
muffin the filly (same character as Dizzy Doo)  
practice filly  
rock hard filly  
save the filly  
super filly (misspelling of superfilly)  
transfilly  
unnamed filly  
mystery filly
 
Not sure if any of the other used tags are pointless, but these are the ones I can currently think of.
 
Sidenote: It wasn’t until now that I realized how few amount of races have tags for their younger versions. There are tags for, for example, earth ponies, seaponies, and crystal ponies; but there are none for, for example, unicorns, pegasi, kirin, or any original species despite there being plenty of images of filly versions of them. So I don’t get why they don’t exist.

Dear mods & admins of Derpibooru i have a question. Could you pertty please make these tags principal celestia, vice principal luna, dean cadance & alumnus shining armor have their tags changed from green into blue like the tag sci-twi is. It would be more easy to navigate the booru that way, best wishes this Background Pony & thank you for your time.

One of the Mane Six, Princess Twilight Sparkle, almost got stepped on; even if you may need to squint to notice the minuscule speck of purple next to Celestia’s hoofprint.
 
Squint harder, and you’ll notice an ant thinner than a sheet of paper in that same hoofprint. Giving a good idea of what Twilight would have looked like if Celestia had stepped just a little bit more forward, a little more to the right…
 
Or, considering what her pose looks like to me, if Twilight hadn’t leaped out of the way in the nick of time.
 
So, yeah. Fridge horror.

@Knight of the Raven  
Bumping my query from last time, since the lack of reply gave me more time to think.
 
The description for nervous grin looks perfect to me.
 
The ones for forced smile and fake smile also look good. I thought about writing “A character is forced to smile by someone else” for the former versus “A character forces themselves to smile” for the latter, but then I remembered that, say, a conman’s smile is certainly fake but probably not forced. Not like Twilight’s were in the pictures I embedded, at any rate.
 
I’m still stumped on awkward smile though. More precisely, the “in an unnatural way” part of the description. I’d say the brainwashed Mane Five in Every Little Thing She Does smiled exactly like that, and I don’t think that qualifies as “awkward,” however fuzzy my own definition of the term may be.

I don’t think these are blush lines.
 
Apparently some non-MLP characters have them too. Examples that I found:  
  • Ahri from League of Legends  
  • Miqo’te from Final Fantasy  
  • D.Va from Overwatch (though hers are different, triangular)

Ooh, so these are meant to be whiskers? That makes sense considering the cat-inspired appearance of the characters who have them.
 
EDIT: Though these are very similar, but don’t seem to mimic whiskers:
