Create specific tag for Unohana Retsu’s chest scar

Posted under Tags

BUR #57475 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

remove alias scar_on_sternum -> scar_on_chest

The tag scar_on_chest was automatically applied to content featuring Unohana Retsu by DanbooruBot. However, this change removed a previously more specific tag, scar_on_sternum, which uniquely described her distinct scar.

Since this scar is a defining and character-specific feature, the general tag scar_on_chest is too broad and loses important detail. I propose restoring scar_on_sternum to properly categorize this unique trait.

Having a dedicated tag improves search accuracy and preserves character-specific metadata.

if so then remove this sternum because it is mainly "chest"

So is pectorals, but that doesn't mean we should remove it. Both show distinct features that aren't always visible on chests.

If you think we need a tag specifically for scars on sternums, find some more characters with it. Something like this doesn't sound like it would be very hard to find. I already found post #9177476 after a quick look through original scar_on_chest. Make a favgroup and propose a mass update to it in addition to removing the alias.

@tyronemy Add the posts you tagged sternum scar to a favgroup (see help:favorite_groups if you need help). I recommend doing this while your posts still have that tag because there's no way that tag is staying on those posts unless the decisions that were made before are reversed.

I think there is some merit to having a tag like this, but you need to work with the system, not against it. Creating a new tag to get around current aliases is not the way to go about this, and neither is hyperfocusing on a single character. Expand your horizons a bit. Look for other characters with similar scars like post #9177476 and add them to the favgroup. Then when you're done, propose a BUR to mass update the posts in the favgroup as I suggested above.

create alias sternum_scar -> scar_on_chest

Really poor form to do this after it was just discussed that it is useless if it has 100% overlap with a single character. Prove this isn't covered by scar on chest.

It doesn't have 100% overlap. The user is just fixated on this one particular character and hasn't bothered to look for any others, presenting this as a character-specific trait when it isn't.
