I'm not sure. Should post #9754953 or post #8940664 be tagged with sweat?

Yes. Although the wiki entry specifies beads of perspiration, it's nevertheless clear that what's being depicted is sweat. Hence post #9754953 is tagged sweaty clothes instead of just wet clothes. Sweat is in the image, so it belongs in the tags.

I think the issue is that the wiki page conflates sweat (the thing) with perspiration (the act of sweating), so if a character isn't actively sweating the wiki makes it look like the tag doesn't belong.

Besides the tag for clothes and the general "sweat" tag, the first two seem like fetish pet tags, though I guess the second one has a lot more value than the first one. Nowadays I keep getting sweaty breasts added to my posts (that tag of which was only created this year). Is this something people are specifically trying to find, do we need this distinction? Will it lead to more tags stacking on top, and at what point do we start considering them bloat tags or having real utility? I'm getting them added on anything from very sweaty to a single sweatdrop.

I think sweaty breasts is a useless tag. After reading your post, I looked through some of the sweaty breasts posts and I only found one (post #10051565) where the breasts were sweatier than the rest of the body. My search wasn't thorough, so I could've missed something, but I think most of these could be covered just fine with breasts + relevant sweat tags.

Getting it added to my posts again so I remembered about this BUR and will give it an upvote. A case against deprecating it though is that people might legitimately have this fetish and want to search it separately from just sweat which is for anything related to sweat and might not be particularly desirable. It reminds me of the quasi-mass BUR war in topic #30380 (see forum #335348 regarding its resolution and that these kinds of tags can be kept if they're not excessive).

hmm. I still think deprecation is a possible option, but you and evazion have a valid point. If we don't deprecate it and manually clean it instead, we would have to ask how sweaty is sweaty enough for the tag. Not to speak for them, but I'd think someone into this fetish would be more interested in something like post #10194324 or post #10239627 than post #10198996 or post #10113738. Then what about posts in the middle; should something like post #10144462 still qualify for the tag? These are hypothetical questions, but it would need to be decided. The tag would also probably need to be monitored so it doesn't get flooded with bad tags.

The majority of the posts I've seen that actually look decently distinguishable are bordering on very sweaty so the tag gains a lot more value if it's used for visibly sweating rather than just sparse amounts. A good wiki and gardening go a long way, but if a tag just gets thrown onto even the most miniscule representation of that thing because taggers use it literally, it loses a lot of its quality and deprecation becomes inevitable. post #10198996 should not count. I wouldn't say post #10144462 is significant enough that it should count.

I think sweaty breasts would have a lot more value if it was for clothed posts, because as it stands it's being used almost randomly, and most of the posts under the tag don't feature particularly sweaty breasts.

A name like that is doomed though. Maybe very sweaty breasts would work better?

I think it would be clearer than the current name. It should cut down on tags of breasts with just a sweatdrop or two at least.
