imply bad_<site>_link -> bad_link

Posted under Tags

BUR #57009 has been approved by @evazion.

create implication bad_twitter_link -> bad_link
create implication bad_tumblr_link -> bad_link
mass update bad_link source:*pbs.twimg.com* -bad_twitter_link -> bad_twitter_link
mass update bad_link source:*.tumblr.com* -bad_tumblr_link -> bad_tumblr_link

The upload page now shows a warning and links to bad Twitter link, bad Tumblr link, etc when someone tries to upload a bad link from a site. This means that we need to create bad_*_link tags for every site listed in bad link so that we can directly tell people which links should and should not be uploaded for each site.

What's even the proper way to handle Facebook? I've noticed that you marked a massive amount of Facebook links as bad id (not even bad link) but they aren't dead posts. Facebook has normalised links but I guess sometimes they resolve wrongly. Particularly, none of the official art posts you marked as bad id are dead but seemingly just link to the wrong place.

Well as far as I'm concerned until I can find the proper source it's pointing to a dead end, ergo a bad ID. If you know where it came from, feel free to fix it. I'm working on resolving them where I can but for all intents and purposes if a URL currently points to 1) an image link with an expired hash and 2) a post that doesn't exist then it seems like it's a bad ID and a bad link until further notice.

To be honest I'm still not sure if creating actual tags to categorise bad links is the right way to go to match the warning labels that were recently added unless there's plans to automate this in the future; and why they couldn't just stay as wiki entries because at least existing wikis can be linked even without an associated tag. Though I guess we already subcategorise bad id anyway even though most sites with an implicated tag need it to be done manually because only Pixiv is being checked by a bot.

Hey if bossman Evazion decrees it, who am I to argue

Same reason why we have Pixiv sample, Twitter sample, etc. If someone uploads a bad Twitter link, it doesn't make sense to point them to bad link with 50 different sites and no clear explanation of what they're supposed to do for Twitter. If we want people to stop uploading bad Twitter links, there's needs to be a clear explanation saying "upload this link, not that" somewhere.
