Would it be a good idea to create a new tag that would act as a parent for pocky_day cat_day twintails_day kiss_day meat_day and other countless days? How should such tag be named?

Why would such a tag be needed, though?

Some catchall tags, like food, are necessary because you often can't tell what, exactly, something is supposed to be. I have no idea what the girl in post #2996144 is supposed to be eating, so a more specific tag would be inappropriate. We need a purposefully vague tag because it's often the only tag that applies to a given object.

For images that reference specific days, this is hardly the case. These images focus so heavily on particular themes that there is little doubt about how they should be tagged. If there are any posts referencing days that aren't currently tagged, it would make more sense to create tags for those days specifically rather than create a much broader tag that doesn't appreciably help narrow search results.

If, for whatever reason, you really want to search for multiple such days at once, you can use a multi-tag search like ~pocky_day ~cat_day ~twintails_day ~kiss_day ~meat_day, and so on. If what you're actually looking for is a list that includes similar date puns and commemorative dates, try Tag Group:Holidays and Celebrations.

ah I see, thanks for the explanation

Edit: Would it be suitable to list these days in that tag group page?

Regarding post #3006074 (BDSM, rating Q)
The third pannel is a nose pinch, at least that has been suggested on Discord when I( asked there. But the wiki says that it's limited to when it's done by the character and not by someone else (like here).
But I think that this definition is either outdated or there might be a better tag for that.

The wiki was written back in 2011, and it seems most of the posts' usage currently actually is of the someone-else's-nose-pinching variety. I edited that part out. I really don't think we need to be so specific when the tag's not even above a hundred posts.

Jup, agree completely with you here.

The gangbang wiki states "This tag should not be used with threesome. It's either a gangbang or a threesome (for three people). If there are more males than females, it should be tagged a gangbang.". Doesn't this mean that all mmf threesomes are automatically counted as gangbangs instead and that tag shouldn't exist, or should the wiki be changed?

@Rampardos
Sorry for asking out of the blue, but about the greyscale wiki:
It's written that this is exclusively used when the image consists of black&white (i.e. shades of grey). Should greyscale still be applicable even when there is a spot color? In my opinion it should since the visual effect of greyscale is still there and over 2000 posts tagged with both tags (ca. 25% of the spot color post count): spot color greyscale.

(Of course others are asked as well, but that wiki section is written by Rampardos)

I have no memory of writing this, so I can't tell you what my intent was when I wrote it, but OOZ662 is correct.

I can vaguely recall a conversation about this tag happening on the forum before, which is probably when this was written. It was about the overlap between b&w, greyscale, and monochrome, and the conclusion was that b&w was pointless, but greyscale would be a subset of monochrome, which could apply to any color. The specific issue you brought up was addressed by the monochrome wiki:

Note: Monochrome and partially colored are mutually exclusive. For monochrome pictures with just a bit of color, use monochrome and spot color together. If the image has a range of colors but appears grayed out or washed out, see muted color and pale color.

This was written years later, but I remember that being the conclusion at the time.

Came across counter and countertop while updating some food-related wikis and am not sure if there should be an alias from one to the other. I don't know about using countertop as the primary tag since you don't always see the top of the counter, such as post #2898291 (below), post #2953890 or post #2994388 (at eye level). Neither wiki has any information other than linking to each other, which is extremely ambiguous for me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_%28furniture%29

Both tags are used interchangeably, more or less. There are slight differences in usage; e.g., "countertop" is practically never used for the sales counter at a shop, but it is commonly used for food preparation surfaces in kitchens. These subtleties are minor enough that I don't think a second tag is necessary, so a countertop -> counter alias would be fine by me.
