To answer the same question from Discord with the same answer:
It doesn’t count as ‘simple’ because it isn’t just one colour, according to the tag’s description. Besides, background colour is hardly a pressing tag people follow. If you really want to represent multiple backgrounds in a single piece, you could create a ‘composite background’ tag, or something.
But in my opinion, the answer would be to tag it with the background colour and gradient tags, then remove the automatically added simple background tag after (which the suggested incompatibility change would do, as the gradient tag would stop ‘simple’ from being added).
As I also said on Discord, limiting the ‘simple background’ tag exclusively to single colours is a silly distinction. As far as I’m concerned, a ‘simple background’ is anything without drawn details, putting backgrounds into three major categories: “simple” (abstract colours), “patterned” (abstract shapes), and… well, we don’t have a tag for drawn backgrounds, but “complex”. Gradient should be a sub-tag of simple like any of the colours.

@JP
Just how many images uploaded by those who only tag 3–5 tags wouldn’t be uploaded by someone else if that uploader got frustrated and left?
@UnderwoodART
Related to tag incompatibilities, mandate that images contain at least one species tag or the no pony tag.
@JP
That technically works but:
  1. Requires manual organization (creating a “notable Derpi comments” bookmark folder, etc) to stay manageable. Theoretically more powerful if you invest in the ecosystem, but massively less convenient.
  2. Doesn’t carry over between browser ecosystems (think of someone who uses Safari on their iPad and Chrome on the PC)

I miss the show so much
Tag incompatibilities. For example, “gradient background” says that by definition it cannot also be a “simple background”, so adding ‘gradient’ would block/remove ‘simple’. This would be applied to any tags that are often misused or contradict one another, like rating tags, adding solo and duo, absurd res and low res, using ‘safe’ and any explicit tag, etc.
I would love to see this. Many people seem to think that simple background is a some kind of default tag they have to add to everything they upload, regardless of what the background type actually is.
Unfortunately, this would complicate tagging too much, not to mention how complicated it would be to program (and those conflict/incompatibility rules have to be created first). We already have a problem with people only tagging the bare minimum (3-5 tags), and if the site prevents them from adding conflicting tags (even if the site is correct), they would stop uploading completely. They wouldn’t bother.
tag markup for text (ie. >>pony or [[pony]]), instead of having to manually add links.
Yep, Nth’ing this again.

“Formalising” my suggestions from the Discord server:
Tag incompatibilities. For example, “gradient background” says that by definition it cannot also be a “simple background”, so adding ‘gradient’ would block/remove ‘simple’. This would be applied to any tags that are often misused or contradict one another, like rating tags, adding solo and duo, absurd res and low res, using ‘safe’ and any explicit tag, etc.
For the “derpibooru exclusive” tag to change the source input to “Derpibooru exclusive”. It has always bothered me that exclusive art is permanently marked with “not provided yet”.
And adding a +1 for tag markup for text (ie. >>pony or [[pony]]), instead of having to manually add links. If you’re fancy, you could even have it show the graphic tag and its number. This mainly benefits mods and tagging submissions, because when you’re adding 10+ tags to a post, the time to search and copy-paste addresses really adds up (and manually typing can lead to incorrect unicode).

Since we got a ping a week or three ago about bumping feature suggestions to take advantage of new hardware…
  1. Automated tagging for file format facts? I know we can use the search for resolution and PNG/SVG, but most users simply treat everything as a tag.
  2. User setting for anti-procrastination mode, similar to Hacker News?
  3. Allow mods the option to preserve comments and/or descriptions on deleted images. I’d suggest preserving descriptions default to on. Comment preservation is more complex. It should default to preserving commentary if it’s a mass deletion, such as an artist taking down their entire oeuvre. Images with at least one comment of over 999 characters should similarly default to preservation mode. Images where all the comments are ≤100 (visible, perhaps 256 if markdown is included) characters can be assumed safe to default to delete the comments along with the image. other related posts 1 2 3 4
  4. Don’t deliver notifications if all the new comments are deleted. Also has a dedicated thread without my involvement
  5. I’ve apparently suggested linking related images (such as how e6 does parent/child images) for edits on multiple occasions: 1 2. It’s being worked on
  6. Preserve post contents on posting failure. This happens both when getting hit with a rate limit (only mildly annoying, as those are almost all very short comments) and due to session timeout (infuriating, as that often mean an effort post was lost)
  7. Button to bookmark comments. Useful in conjunction with clopfic in the comments and similar tags.
  8. Search (comments & description) by length (word count)
  9. Add a “download as GIF” option for reasonably-short webm & mp4 files.

Features not for Derpibooru or current Philomena boorus but in case a Philomena 2.0 is ever forked for future communities to start from scratch

  1. Associative tagging, a.k.a. noun tags and verb tags. Not for any existing booru with 3 million images under the current system.
  2. ActivityPub integration for compatibility with Pleroma, Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, etc…

When [☑ Add/Edit] is clicked to add a source to an image, a cursor doesn’t jump to the text box like it does when [☑ Edit] is clicked to add a tag; is that something the site code does, or Firefox?

I realize that this is both a niche problem and a “me” problem, and it probably oughtn’t be changed because it’s based on established booru standards, but I still want to air it: when I add tags that I watch to an image, then look at the history, it throws me every time to see the + signs by all the other tags and the - sign by the ones I added. This invariably happens as I’m navigating away, and leaves me thinking, “The hell? I swear I didn’t remove that tag.” Then I have to go back and check and smack myself in the forehead because of course “+” means “this is a tag” and “-” means “this is a tag that is on your current watchlist” rather than + and - meaning added and subtracted in the list of added and subtracted tags.
Why can’t “Watched” be W, just like H is Hidden and S is Spoilered? Then + could be freed up to be “add to current search” like Danbooru, though that’s a new and huge worm can.

Dunno what they mean, but it makes me think of what I’ve wanted for years, which is the same tag typeahead in the search bar that is in the fancy tag editor.
