General Tag Cleaning

There are a few more tags that use specific words like *_shoes, etc instead of the more general term footwear. Should tags like single boot and sandal removed imply single footwear (currently single shoe) and single footwear removed (currently shoe removed) respectively?

Some examples of mismatched footwear:

• single shoe (implicates shoes)
• single sandal (implicates sandals)
• single boot (implicates boots)
• single thigh boot (does not implicate thigh boots or boots)

Some examples of footwear removed:

• shoes removed (does not implicate shoes)
• shoe removed
• boots removed (does not implicate boots)
• boot removed
• sandals removed (does not implicate sandals)
• sandal removed

Mismatched footwear is when one is different to the other. Those single x tags are for when e.g. a shoe is being worn on one foot but no footwear is being worn on the other.

Different concepts.

And "single footwear" sounds really clumsy to me.

Stamp is too ambiguous. I've been removing it and adding more accurate tags:
Postage stamp - a self-adhesive sticker used to pay for the cost of mailing an envelope.
Postmark - a form of stamp mark used by a post office to indicate receipt of a mailing item.
Stamp mark - mark made by a stamping tool, usually a rubber stamp.
Rubber stamp - generic term for a device, handheld or electronic, which uses ink to create a stamp mark.
I'm not sure what should be used for posts where the work itself is a postage stamp. e.g. post #2943057
Thoughts? Objections? Should I even bother and just leave it all as stamp?

A lot of posts from user #574220 lack gen tags like solo and male focus, or they don't have any gen tags. There are 94 results for this search specifically: user:Juan.Dela.Cruz copytags:0

Okay thank you, I understand the difference between the two now. I think I was originally focusing on the fact that some of those tags should be implicated to another, such as single thigh boot to single boot and thigh boots.

Also for the tags such as footwear_removed were based on the fact that tags such as brown_shoes were being aliased to brown_footwear.

Are some of the posts tagged with seat a mistag of sweat? It doesn't have a wiki page.

I noticed shrug is confused a lot with shrug_(clothing). Maybe they should be swapped around? shrug_(clothing) -> shrug, shrug -> shrug_(motion)? Or both could have the ending specification.

Seat mainly seems to function like an "uncategorizable" tag for things you sit on that don't have a more specific tag (e.g. bench, chair, couch, pew, stool). At least half the posts with this tag appear to be fixed seating in public venues (stadiums, theaters) or vehicles (airplanes, trains). If we had tags better than seat for these, that would be great, but I don't think we'll ever be able to simply get rid of seat altogether.

Danbooru convention is to use gerund forms for actions, so the tag for the motion shouldn't even be shrug, it should be shrugging.

I found pumpkin pants in addition to the ones above: baggy pants, loose pants, oversized pants, puffy pants

I also found parachute pants which implicates pants despite only having a count of 16

Not the same thing. The term parachute pants refers to the material they're made from, not their size or style. Parachute pants can be tight-fitting or baggy.

It looks like a lot of the posts tagged with sky print are either double exposure or cloud print.

Also, is there a big difference between sky print and a search for starry_sky_print -space_print? Space print implicates starry sky print but that would assume that every instance of space print contains stars.

Should bud implicate flower or should it be nuked?

Neither.

Trees have buds but aren’t flowers. Why would you want to nuke a simple, unambiguous tag that’s not covered by any other tag?

True, at first I thought it was too specific but I can see why that's not the case now. And I also hadn't thought of the tree example as well, thanks!

What's the difference between doodle and scribble? These aren't sketches, since they are usually drawn within the image and aren't the drawing itself.

I have a question. I listed earlier a bunch of tags that needed sorted. @feline_lump helped me with an earlier post here in forum #154627, but most of them weren't taken care of. Since I didn't want to do them myself since I need more judgement in tag changes, why didn't any other mods weigh in or help out? A lot of the responses given in their post could be included in the wikis. But if the wikis aren't updated and tags aren't changed, users wouldn't know how to use the tags.

I'd say a scribble isn't even an attempt at drawing something, whereas a doodle is. Nothing in the doodle tag is a scribble (other than possibly post #1213832) whereas much of the scribble tag are actually doodles (the only real exceptions being scribbled backgrounds, a couple of cases where the character has scribbled something, and post #1118645 which uses a scribble in place of a blank page). There are also cases in both that don't remotely justify either - perhaps people see a rakugaki tag on the original and translate it to scribble or doodle?

The tube dress tag, despite the wiki and implication stating that the dress is strapless, have quite a lot of posts that do not appear strapless.

Vertical comic/Square comic/Horizontal comic

2panels/3panels/4panels/5panels/6panels/7panels/8panels/9panels

Do we need all these comic tags? All of them were made and populated by a single user without any previous discussion on the forums, the panel ones are also being tagged on *koma posts which means they have 2 tags saying the same thing.

I think the square comic one has definite value as it's a very distinctive kind of 4koma, which is also a definite minority variation.

Can't really say the same about vertical or horizontal comic, although I'd certainly not be opposed to having them. 2panels etc. is completely pointless.
