Random 2-tag maintenance searches

Posted under General

Another good one is to go to any copyright/character/tag you like, add rating:s and sort by id (or random). There's usually a bunch of older posts that can be changed to rating:g.

Obviously you need to be familiar with the rating guidelines, but there's a lot of very obvious ones that no one ever got around to changing.

Also cleavage rating:g, these are almost always misrated.

That may be a difference of opinion, in which case it was a bad example on my part. To me, it's so dwarfed by the girl standing in front of it that I wouldn't tag it as such. I think my point still stands though; post #10395001 or post #10295537 are probably better examples of what I'm talking about.

I would be annoyed if these posts didn't show up under an ocean search, it's very relevant to the image.

Regarding name translations as discussed some days prior (forum #401977 and the next 6 posts after): I now have a configurable script that I run in a terminal that can mass translate names. I've been running it a few times since around 2 weeks ago and today I updated it to support the description field so I figured I would share I have that now. It's not automatic but I don't really need (or want) it to be, in part because I'm very picky about verifying every edit my scripts do unless they'll be guaranteed correct.

I also don't want to take away opportunities from members but there's a lot of cases where the commentary is just the name of the character and most of the time uploaders don't do a quick check on the name, even by those who mostly upload a single character not knowing the kanji/etc of their favourite character, so it just helps thin out the tedium. It's also personally helpful to me.

It supports 5 options which can either be passed as arguments to the execution command or answered in terminal prompts:

  • Original name (required)
  • Translated name (required)
  • Commentary section (required, title or description)
  • User-specific restriction (optional)
  • Tag search restriction (optional)

For the commentary section option, it looks up the regex ^{original_name}$ based on the choice and performs a regex of ^$ on the unselected section (crude way of forcing the other section to be blank so I can guarantee all changes are made when the only text is the name and that I won't have any partial commentary or other). I also pass [translated_present]=false so I only get results of untranslated posts, though it means I can't retroactively mass-fix if needed. I can add an option to ignore this but for now I don't think I will.

It doesn't yet support when both fields are exactly only the original name but that would take only a few seconds to implement because of the way I construct the URL. Just haven't found a reason to do it, even though I could have it on stand by.

For tags, it will add commentary and remove commentary request. I assume that I will only have to switch between these two tags when updating, so a tag that may have mistakenkly copied other commentary tags that don't apply may not update correctly (e.g. a post with partial commentary won't get commentary request removed). That is a different gardening to take care of on its own.

It could be automatic but it's probably tricky with increasing the number of requests that need to be made and accounting for nuance that probably needs human assessment. It could be resolved by association, e.g. a "ホタル" of Honkai: Star Rail will be "Firefly" but it may be "Hotaru", "Marie" or otherwise for another. Decided to skip on a configuration file and keep it manual. The tag search restriction helps a lot with making sure the updates performed will be correct.

commentary:"#深夜の真剣お絵描き60分一本勝負" -one-hour_drawing_challenge

There's ~3000 untagged posts rn. You can also knock out some easy commentaries/partial commentaries by translating "深夜の真剣お絵描き60分一本勝負" -> "Late Night Serious 60-Minute Drawing Game"

Hashtags do not count as commentary. And I couldn't find any non-hashtag examples via search, which would require an extra tag to exclude "#深夜の真剣お絵描き60分一本勝負" anyway.

Also, to create a link to a search, you should place two curly brackets on either side of the tags to be searched like this (click reply to see them):

commentary:"#深夜の真剣お絵描き60分一本勝負" -one-hour_drawing_challenge

Similarly to the above, you can try searches like commentary:"commission" -commission / commentary:"コミッション" -commission as well. Or even more specific like commentary:"skeb" -skeb_commission. There will be false positives so use caution if you're not 100% sure.

Also, you can sorta search three tags if you search through the artist commentaries page instead, since on that page it considers the other search queries separate from the tag search limit. For example, this query looks for posts that have translated commentary that is, values are present in both the original and translated text fields but are missing both commentary and check commentary tags, which is equivalent to the three-tag search of commentary:translated -commentary -check_commentary.

I don't think there was any consensus about it last time it was discussed. Personally I translate them.

Thanks. Didn't know about it before.

Whether they should be translated is a different matter from whether they count as commentary. The wikis are clear that untranslated hashtags do not disqualify posts from the commentary tag.

I thought you were suggesting users would be able to resolve commentary request and partial commentary posts by translating the hashtags, which would be incorrect. If you just meant translating that single hashtag, then that's a different matter, but it's not exactly a high priority.

Just spent like... four? hours crapping out the page help:commentary searches, which is a new place for me to shove all my RegEx nonsense wisdom that statistically only 2 other users will ever bother checking out. People who know things about linguistics please help me with my stupid language regular expressions, I don't know enough about which characters are exclusive dead-giveaways to which languages when they all use the latin alphabet. and also the common translations section i guess

Tachi-e cleanup:

tachi-e multiple_views
tachi-e -solo
tachi-e outline
tachi-e zoom_layer

Tachi-e has a lot of restrictions on the wiki, these are things that almost always don't qualify (or might be mistagged, such as someone forgetting to remove multiple views when copying tags from a parent)

I had to remove two because I forgot the full-body and standing parts of tachi-e's definition are a "usually" and not a requirement. (っ °Д °;)っ

Unrelated to the above:

^ Don't always apply, but commonly missing

1girl no_humans

Either the gender tag is wrong or no humans is wrong (it doesn't include furries, monster people, humanoid robots, etc).

Dual_persona and solo are not mutually exclusive, why is this search included here?
