List of images with fewest tags.

Is there some list of images with the fewest tags somewhere? Or, if there's too many images with very few tags out there, some button to push to get a few images with less than X tags at random?

Mainly, I'm asking because that way, when I'm bored, I could go to that list or push that button, and get a bunch of images that probably need more tags, then tag them. Sure, there's the tagme tag, but that requires that someone knew to put it there, and if an image hasn't gotten much attention, there's a good chance it hasn't gotten that tag, either...

FWIW, tagme is automatically applied to posts which are uploaded with zero tags.

Not exactly, but you can use the newly-introduced tagcount metatags to search for undertagged posts. Some examples:

• Undertagged touhou posts: generaltagcount:0 touhou
• Missing copyright tag: charactertagcount:>0 copyrighttagcount:0
• Pixiv posts without an artist tag: source:*pixiv* artisttagcount:0
• Posts only tagged with tagme: artisttagcount:0 copyrighttagcount:0 charactertagcount:0 generaltagcount:1 tagme (this is an easy way to detect vandalism)

Hmm, some of those are legit. I wonder if things like arancia and chidejika or artist specific characters like arima_senne should get original as a rule. I know I've done it with the mof girl.

Edit: Er, huh, is that search ignoring original? I just checked a bunch that did have original on them.

• Pixiv posts without an artist tag: source:*pixiv* artisttagcount:0

That's a large list... if only I could sort them by URL and focus on the ones with the most posts.

• Posts only tagged with tagme: artisttagcount:0 copyrighttagcount:0 charactertagcount:0 generaltagcount:1 tagme (this is an easy way to detect vandalism)

Assuming the search ran correctly, it's quite impressive that that brings up zero hits.

Assuming. I found plenty of holes yesterday, but nothing immediately wrong is jumping out now.

I just did a search on artisttagcount:0 source:*pixiv and quite a few of them have artist tags.

We could star from PMing the lazy asses known for not adding the artist tag, like artisttagcount:0 source:*pixiv* user:Seem (can't remember any other right now, but there are plenty)

Maybe it takes a little while for new images to get the counts applied? I went back to early ones, past page 350, and checked about 50 at random and every single one was missing an artist. But you're right that a lot of what I checked on page 1 had an artist.

I suspect that the tag count of existing posts isn't updated when the type of a tag changes, so you're probably seeing posts that were tagged with a new artist whose tag type was corrected later.

True... otherwise every single tag change would need to be separately logged in the count tables, which I guess is resource intensive and probably why albert was reluctant to do this in the first place.

Albert, do you have a little more insight into how this works? Particularly the issue of how tags that are added later get counted, and how often, if at all. I know some people upload with minimal tags and then add after upload (because they prefer the interface, or made a typo, or remembered something to add, etc) so if after-upload changes aren't taken into effect it could be an issue.

My goodness. generaltagcount:0 has over a thousand pages of hits. generaltagcount:1 has another 1400.

Images aren't really required to have any general tags. A list of characters, a series, and an artist is sufficient in a lot of cases.

I think things should be tagged a lot more thoroughly than some people do.

character series and artist i feel is not enough.

You say artist, character and series is not enough, what else would be needed to be enough?

There are plenty of compositional tags (like dutch angle, zoom layer, etc.) and common human subject description tags (like red eyes, very long hair, etc.) at least one of which would usually apply to any given post.

So how many tags must a pic have to be considered "througlhy tagged"?
Some pics are simple enough not to warrant many tags.

If they are simple, just add a few "general" tags, if they are complex, add more. It's not that hard...

It's not hard and fast, or official but for me to consider a post I'm tagging "thoroughly tagged" it has to have the artist (if known or findable), the series (or original), each of the characters present and some of the basic descriptive tags for each of them (hair color, hair length, eye color), then I try to add any salient general tags that are overtly featured.

Anything beyond the basics isn't strictly necessary, but the more relevant tags listed the better. Irrelevant tags though (say for something that is barely visible) should be avoided, however.

There is no accepted "thoroughly tagged" threshold, but char/copy and ideally art constitute a general minimum for participating in this community as a helpful user. A couple general tags, as appropriate, are also desired. Especially if the image is an original character.

Ugh, 460-ish images generaltagcount:0 original
