Forgive me for being an idiot - I'm new here and just trying to help out a little. Uploaded a couple of Sano Toshihide CGs, and if they get approved I'll do a few more, but I wondered if there's a way to tag individual characters in group shots? There's a few group shots in Ane to Boin and Hime to Boin where I'd like to tag the characters, as I know when I've seen it I've wondered which character tag was linked to which character in the picture.
Is there a way to do that? I think I may be able to do it using the translation box, but is that allowed or am I breaking the rules (as it's obviously not a translation)? Thanks!
It's pretty common to use translation notes for this, especially for group shots /w cosplay, crossovers or such. See the name_characters tag for examples.
Though keep in mind Danbooru isn't currently set up like Flickr or Facebook. It's not expected or acceptable at this point to tag each and every character with a note. They are typically used with very large groups.
Yeh, it wasn't for my own pictures - under the Ane_to_Boin tag there was a group picture with all ten female characters; I thought I'd label them in an unobtrusive way for easier identification. I'd not do it on groups much smaller than that, but it gets a little confusing when there's that many characters and you don't want to have to click through each tag to work out who is who (in my own experience, anyway). Here's the post, if you want to see what I mean: post #101465.
I hope that's alright. In H-Games with a large cast there's often a shot of all the characters stood in a line (as I'm sure you're aware), and it just seemed sensible to label those characters in that one picture correspondingly. There's a group shot for Hine_to_Boin I was going to upload, which features seven characters - should I avoid labelling them?
Thanks, I'm trying not to break too many rules just yet ;)

Oh, no, it's perfectly okay in that case. ~10 seems like a good number. Notes can be hidden by a simple click so it's not like it's altering the image either.

They're just only rarely accepted. They need to be exceptionally high quality, usually. They'd have to stand on their own as if the were an individual piece of fanart and are judged accordingly.
I don't think it's so much that game cg have a higher quality standard for inclusion in danbooru - it's just that they're generally really boring. As the wiki page says, "mass CG uploads are generally not very interesting, as 90% of in-game art is completely bland and featureless, with very little originality by design."
