When is a picture “shipping” and also when do sexual orientation/interaction tags apply?
Like, (explicit) >>2627094 - tagged as “prostitution” - kind of seems like the time-honored situation of “two characters standing next to each other” (except explicit)

i don’t think it’s right to call the 2D series “g5.5” for the reasons you stated. That would only make sense if that show was released to bridge the gap between g5 to the next gen.
also on a related note, i think that series, along with both the tags for the g5 series proper along with the specials, should imply “g5”

Also, I think the generation names are more based around toys than anything, and I don’t think there’s a clear demarcation of G5 toys.
And agreed on the implications. my little pony: make your mark, my little pony: tell your tale, and winter wishday -> g5. Not sure if spoiler tags for those exist yet, but those’ll need the implication too.
Looking ahead, there will need to be a separation in tags between the MYM special and series once there are screenshots from them to post. Also, I can’t help but feel like “my little pony” in front of all these G5 series/special/movie names is a bit of a mouthful and may be tough to tag.

i think removing the “MLP” portion of the tag would be easier for tagging/remembering
and for the MYM tags i think it would make sense f the special was tagged something like “MYM (special)” and the regular MYM tag be left for the series itself

This, though there’s a weird tagging situation where pony life applies to both the show and stop motion shorts, while my little pony: pony life applies to just the show. I was never a fan of that decision. The stop motion shorts are tagged as my little pony: stop motion short, which is especially weird because those never had an official title AFAIK. Actually, those are called “My Little Pony Stop Motion” on Youtube.
Also, when spoiler tags come into play, the tags get even longer. For example, spoiler:my little pony: a new generation. I don’t think tags should have more than one colon like that. At least that one’s got “spoiler:g5 movie” as an alias, and similarly for the movie’s main tag.

Another magic search to find potentially missing tags: oc, solo, -oc only - many OC pictures are missing the “OC only” tag.
Possibly not, for example if the OC is with a plushie of a canon character, it could be solo but not oc only. But, even though (solo, oc) is a trivial combo, this is still one of my pet peeves for people to not tag, too. :P
@Background Pony #52BA
There’s also “wink”.
Winking signifies additional action/attitude and IMO it’s pretty distinct.
And technically one eye open would be distinct from one eye closed for creatures with more than two eyes. :P

Oh? Huh, I hadn’t actually noticed…was that implemented somewhat later than when pony life came about?

Is there a way to search by image filetypes (.png, .jpg, .gif, etc)? I didn’t see anything about it on the search syntax page.

This wasn’t a request to blindly add “OC only” to all of these images. This is a use case for mass tag editing where a mod could quickly tag a lot of images which are very clearly missing that tag. But it obviously needs someone to actually look at the images.
Winking signifies additional action/attitude and IMO it’s pretty distinct.
Some images from that tag don’t show anything additional. And there seems to be many images which only have the character looking at you as something additional.

And here’s an oddity. If you want to find images adhering to the Joint Photographic Experts Group format standard, then you can type “mime_type:image/jpeg” into the search bar to get your results. But if you omit the “e” (“mime_type:image/jpg”), you get nothing.
But if you use the original_format option, then the results are reversed. “original_format:jpg” without the “e” gives you every picture of that file type, while “original_format:jpeg” with the “e” gives you nothing.

Do tentacles - just generic porn tentacles, not tentacles that are visibly appendages of a character - count as “insertion” or “penetration”?

I might’ve mentioned this before, but I wanna talk more about the overtagging of G5 images. Is it cool if I get rid of spoiler:g5 on images that either already belong to established G5 media (and have spoiler:MLP:ANG, spoiler:MLP:TYT, etc. in its place) or images that don’t really spoil anything (character art revealing no plot developments*, 3D promo images)? Having spoiler:g5 on any kind of G5 image makes it useless, since g5 exists. Is it also reasonable to remove MLP:ANG and spoiler:MLP:ANG from art with G5 characters unrelated to the movie as well as images that are exclusively TYT (or any other future G5 media)?
*Unsure about this one. Stuff like the restoration of magic and Sunny’s transformation are now being referenced in post-ANG material, and we don’t have a “spoiler:s03e13” tag on every image of a winged Twilight. I see sunnycorn implies spoiler:MLP:ANG (nevermind, it doesn’t, just MLP:ANG, which will need to be de-implicated sooner or later), and I suppose she hasn’t appeared a whole lot in that form in toys and promo material yet, but earth pony Sunny with the hair stripes (does this have a tag yet) should probably be fair game IMO.
