How do I tag this?

Posted under Tags

post #10395294 (Nsfw)

I'm confused, I thought the post with the highest size is suppose to be the parent post, at least, that's what I've read from the wiki, but then someone changed it to child instead and tagged duplicate on it even though it's higher sized. I removed it but then I put it back because I'm not so sure if I'm wrong here. Is the duplicate tag correct? Or should I undo the changes?

PS: I went ahead and changed it back since from my own experience, I've seen two posts with the same picture but one of them became the parent post even though it was only slighty higher size before: post #10348016 (nsfw).

PPS: Aaand it was immediately reverted back to be the child again. Can anyone explain to me why? I don't think it should be the child post according to the wiki, but I also don't want to get into a tagging war.

Question regarding post #1863275 and all others like it. Is there a tag specific to a character putting a cold can or object on another's face and surprising them via temperature difference? I see it a lot but no specific tag

There's no specific tag I can find, however this specific act is sometimes called "cold can prank" or cold touch prank" in media, but you can generalize it as prank.

How many birds is too_many_birds? I was thinking about removing the tag from post #9559769 but I can't tell, are there too_many? The parent tag just describes it as "a whole lot of something" but that image doesn't look like it has that many birds to me. Birds group up like that pretty often.

I could have sworn I read on one of the two_many wikis that 5 or more was the qualification for the tag, but I can’t find it now. Edit, it’s the wiki for too many rabbits. There’s also flock to consider for birds.

I have been cleaning up tag contradictions as requested, specifically upper_body + bikini_top_only.

My understanding is that tags should describe what is actually depicted in the image, not what the content suggests based on canonical knowledge. For example, users often tag nami_(one_piece) with bikini_top_only because they know she wears pants, even if the image is cropped to upper_body and the pants aren't visible. I have been starting to correct these instances as requested in another thread.
This raises a question regarding the dark_skin (or dark-skinned_male) tag.
If a character has canonically dark skin, but it is not depicted that way in the specific image (due to extreme lighting, stylization, or color palette), should it still be tagged?
If we follow the strict visual rules applied to the bikini_top_only example, the answer should be no.

Could a mod or experienced tagger please clarify the official stance on this?

Of course not. If there's no dark skin in the picture it shouldn't be tagged.

Thanks for the clarification. I see canonical features getting tagged incorrectly so often that I started second-guessing the rules. Good to know my initial assumption was right.
