Well, if OCs on the pictures are from that universe, I’d say the tag can stay. Just like we have tags for fanfic universes. But let’s see what others think.

au: and some other tags that imply alternate universe, which have the fanworks category; it should probably get any (or all) of those? Background Pony #7C7A
I have two questions:
-
How are we supposed to tag images that are seamlessly repeating patterns? Examples:
I searched for tiled* and seamless* and it looks like these images are often being tagged tiled background and sometimes seamless. These tags are a mishmash between images that are seamlessly repeating patterns, images that have seamlessly repeating patterns in the background, and images that have actual ceramic tiles in them. They need to be split by meanings. Do you know of any other tags for this kind of images? -
Deer with wings is a peryton. But is there a name for a deer with a horn? Examples:

- There’s pattern, but I don’t know of a tag that distinguishes between the presence of a a pattern vs. when the entire image is a pattern. Also, to be slightly more pedantic, I don’t know if there is (or should be) something to distinguish a repeating pattern where the image is ready to tile vs. when the image contains a repeating pattern but won’t tile as it stands (such as the two examples you posted - they won’t tile seamlessly)
[edit] Among pictures taggedtiled background, all but three have at least one ofwallpaper,pattern, orseamlesswhen the whole image is the pattern itself. - unideer (found by looking at the “implied by” section for deer)

au: prefix, like the meme: prefix. We need more quantifiers to make sense of all the possible tags now, especially obscure ones.@Background Pony #7C7A
Seamless seems like a good choice for that.
Also, a quick google search shows that ‘unicorn deer’ are a thing, so I’d just go with that. A Shadhavar is visually similar based on that wiki image, but doesn’t have the same horn properties.

Yesterday, I came across a certain number of tags that I find to be rather confusing and intertwined with each other. Does anyone have any input?

Should micro bikini imply useless clothing, considering that the meaning of “micro bikini” seems to be, as it’s tagged, that it only barely covers the labia cleavage and the areolas at most. The most prevailing coverage seems to be of the “postage stamp and dental floss” magnitude.

micro bikini only barely covers up what it’s supposed to, useless clothing doesn’t even do that much. UnderwoodART

What is the
piny tag? I thought it was just a mistyped ‘pony’, but the first image also has pinies, so is it another language?

I’m pretty sure it’s a typo. Checking the deletion history it looks like people were trying to type “pony” and hit a wrong key.

As for “pinies”, I’m going to guess the uploader was just trying to type “ponies”. A brief search for “pinies” isn’t turning up anything promising.

That’s what I would think, but they also have the
pony tag, and both were added by the uploader on the first one… If it was in error, you’d think they’d remove it (though it does also have some very odd, single-use tags). Background Pony #52BA

Some of the other tags it was uploaded with, such as
robot pony, would have added pony due to being an implication - so there’s no evidence whether the uploader really wrote both pony and piny or not. (My bet is for “not”) UnderwoodART

Unrelated, but I think
4chan screencap should imply screencap.And can someone explain
ed edd n'eddy thread and its use beyond the ed edd n eddy tag? It not only has an apostrophe, but two of them don’t even seem to be related to the show. UnderwoodART

Well that’s definitely not how the tag is being used, just look at its first page.

How about we follow in Ponybooru’s hoofsteps and alias the “op is a duck” tag to “op is a cuck”? Plus using this as the official thumbnail.

I see no reason to do this. The duck meme is tradition at this point. We even have duck badges.

No.
I’d rather not use that word for name calling. I would much prefer to keep our duck.

I’ll bet my head that Ponybooru renamed it from ‘duck’ to ‘cuck’ specifically to make a distinction from us.

So how do we tag screencaps of non-official sources, like this still of a fan animation?

Frankly I think it’s a ridiculous distinction. No wonder people always get it wrong. Change it to
official screencap if you want to be that specific…

I’ve never really been invested in those bondage tags until recently :) but apart from the middle tag, I’d think that
diaper bondage and diaper suit the other two are simultaneously related to one another.That’s how I look at it at least. :)

It looks like
It looks like
screencap was allowed on fan animations in the past (5 years ago) but I believe now you just would tag the name of the artist and no other particular tag; youtube link or animated at source might apply. There’s also fan animation but with only 56 posts tagged, it doesn’t seem to be something people think about.game screencap exists for pony customization done in games (though, it’s unfortunate that it includes the keyword “screencap” and I also see it getting used on official games like A Maretime Bay Adventure, so perhaps a thread should be made to talk about these shortcomings).
screenshots exists for the rest, such as if an artist posts a sketch/doodle with their art program’s interface visible.

I agree in principle about clear tag names; maybe that also merits its own thread?
