General Tag Discussion

@Litrojia  
Speaking of Princess Erroria, I’ve looked through tag changes and recent uploads, and it looks like someone’s been misapplying that tag to pictures of Alula without her accidental alicorn status.

@Background Pony #0299  
Thanks for pointing it out. I removed the tag from those images and did some more cleaning up of those tags.

@Litrojia
 
It was a joke :V
 
By the way, what’s the tag Traditional Drawing for compared to Traditional Art?

@Background Pony #F935  

 
I don’t know what you mean.

@Litrojia
 
There’s a Traditional Drawing tag which I may have used a few times. But I’m unsure if it’s okay or if the Traditional Art already fills the Traditional Drawing role.

@Background Pony #F935  
I had that tag aliased into traditional art, since I didn’t really see a difference.

Twilight Sparkle appears to have another horn in this one.
 
Should the tag for the abada be added, is there an illustrative error or am I missing something?

The Cutie Mark Crusaders fusion tags need to be merged. Here are all four of the used ones:  
applescoot belle  
scweetie bloomaloo  
sweetiloo bloom  
the ultimate cutie mark crusader
 
I remember talking about this here a long while ago, but nothing was ever done about it.

@Algebroot Neogears  
Which one are they merged into?

@lincolnbrewsterfan  
None, which is the reason why I made the post.
 
I previously discussed it months ago by saying that there are multiple tags for the same fusion. Then someone responded by saying it was originally much worse, and that was the end of the conversation. Apparently, no changes were made after all that. But I prefer all of them to be merged into the ultimate cutie mark crusader.

@Algebroot Neogears  
Alright. That’s a good alias location though :)

I’m curious; Can the unicorn tag refer to unicorns of any type, and not just ponies? Same goes for pegasus and alicorn.

@Brainless-Mind  
My guess is that the artist intended to draw her with two horns, but not as an abada. I think bicorn is the best tag here.
 
@Algebroot Neogears  
Agreed that these should be aliased. Hopefully a mod gets around to that soon.
 
@Algebroot Neogears  
I don’t think they have to be ponies. Oleander typically gets tagged with “unicorn” for example, though she’s not a pony.

The bow tag contains quite a lot of mistagged bow (instrument) and bow (weapon) occurrences.
 
Some of them can be found rather easily based on other tags. For example Octavia is likely to hold the instrument (though she is likely to wear a bow tie too), archery involves the weapon and Cupid wields the weapon as well.

There seems to be an overlap between hoof fluff and unshorn fetlocks .

@Background Pony #7C7A  
They can overlap as they are different things.

@LightningBolt  
In this case they could use descriptions and examples because right now I’m unsure what is what. I used to tag everything “unshorn fetlocks”, but then I discovered “hoof fluff” and now I’m confused.
 
EDIT: and some of the aliases of “unshorn fetlocks” sound like they should be aliases of “hoof floof” instead.

@Background Pony #7C7A  
Good idea.

The detailed description for First Base is broken.
 

 
No image visible; whichever one was there was either merged or deleted.

@lincolnbrewsterfan  
That reminds me… Links in the description of bow are broken, the parentheses aren’t encoded properly.
 
It would be nice if there was an “insert tag” button, so people wouldn’t have to format links manually as this leads to exactly this kind of error. I think I’ll make a post in the feature request thread.

@lincolnbrewsterfan  
Deleted, DNP issue (do not post)

@Background Pony #7C7A  
Exactly.  
Bow (instrument) should lead here, and bow (weapon) should lead here.
 
Both currently lead to the Derpibooru homepage, after saying “you can’t access that page.”

@Wildcard71  
Ok thank you for letting me know.
 
 
@Background Pony #7C7A  
That would help out a lot.

@Rainboom Dash  
2 months late but no, that is one of the green artificial alicorns from Fallout Equestria. So it should only have an OC tag, even though it’s a Princess Celestia recolor in this case.

The following tags should have their descriptions nuked where applicable:  
oc:aero  
oc:bwae  
oc:chrysanthemum  
oc:cumulonimbus  
oc:data breach  
oc:ipomoea  
oc:myth leading  
oc:parlay  
oc:samosa stripes  
oc:short fuse  
oc:tiny terror  
oc:triple sevens  
All owners have left the site, with all but two refusing to be associated with a site that allows images of oc:aryanne, so the descriptions are no longer relevant, and it’s highly unlikely that images of the applicable OCs will ever be uploaded here again.
