Uploading gifs of ugoiras

Posted under General

What’s our stance on uploading animated gifs of ugoiras, considering that we’ve had native ugoira support for a while now? The ugoira wiki only mentions replacing animated gifs and webm versions of ugoiras that were uploaded before we had native ugoira support.

I’ve seen a few animated gifs that were uploaded even after the original ugoiras had been uploaded, like post #2753069 and post #2756618, and approved, possibly because of missing parenting.

topic #11108 sounds a bit inconclusive, beside Toks supporting flagging animated gifs of already uploaded ugoiras.

Side note: Neither Danbooru’s “Find similar” nor iqdb.org find the ugoira post. Even on the ugoira post itself, clicking “Find similar” does not show the ugoira. post #2756639, for example, is apparently not similar to itself.

Updated

In my opinion:

  • New conversions should either be replaced with the actual ugoira, or not approved if the actual ugoira is already uploaded.
  • Existing conversions should be replaced with the actual ugoira where possible.
  • The ugoira tag should be cleaned up so that it's only used for actual ugoira, not conversions. Conversions should be tagged ugoira_conversion or something.

I'm not sure what's going on with IQDB not finding matches. Feel free to make an issue for that.
