Progress / Comparison / Before_And_After

The tags before_and_after & progress are currently undefined, and seem to overlap a little with comparison (although the latter is supposed to be for DVD/TV differences).

I only saw this after I'd already created pool #12906.

Should we merge tags, create a new tag, or just cleanup & use this pool?

progress is pretty much synonymous with that pool, and personally I think it's better as a tag than a pool given that it's representing something objectively present in the image. The aim of this one is largely to show the improvement in an artist's skill over time.

before and after is for stuff like before and after a change in, for instance, a character's appearance or personality. These are usually drawn by the artist at the same time, and even when they aren't the aim is to show the change in what is being drawn, rather than in the artist's ability.

comparison is for comparisons between different versions of the same character (eg. dual persona), which overlaps with before and after, or comparisons between one character and another.

There's some degree of obscurity on the boundaries, and a definite overlap between the last two, but that's the case with quite a few tags, and I do think they all deserve their own distinct tags. Of course, they all have some examples of mistagging as well.

OK, I've done a cleanup for progress and created a wiki entry.
Feel free to add before_and_after / comparison as needed.

pool #12906 has been deleted.

Maybe progress should be aliased to something like "artistic_progress" to distinguish it from progression?
