I appreciate the replies to my post; I’m shocked that this is the first time I’ve seen a commissioner tag before, given the feedback. I’m still getting used to the details of tagging. I think this is an instance where a separate colour could benefit distinction (or the same blue as artists and editors).
I have a new question, though. I’ve just found the 2022 tag, and I’m a little confused as to its purpose. Given its size (263), it can’t be applied to all art drawn in 2022, yet only a handful directly refer to 2022 in the art. I assume that it’s only valid for the latter, but people seem to be using it to archive their uploads by period.
Secondly I’d like to restate my interest in a “meme” designator, to clearly define specific templates. For example, the hnnng tag is used by people to express their feeling about the art, not just art of the implied meme; art OF the meme should be tagged as meme:hnnng. Similarly, there is a the tag, which the meaning of is very unclear without a meme:the quantifier. There are plenty of other memes that are easily mixed with expressions or words, making meme-specific art hard to track, while also showing context to a meme that viewers might otherwise not know is one.
In a similar vein, I think ships need a quantifier too, as the words they make can be quite confusing, especially between OCs. If not applying a ship: prefix, then enforcing an identifiable symbol like applexdash apple/dash might work too.
Update:
I’ve just discovered another problem.
rpg supposedly exists for “role playing game”, but I’m seeing images for “rocket propelled grenade”. I suggest changing
rpg to the full version, while also aliasing
rpg-7 into
rocket launcher, to allow that to come up while tagging. (eg.
