Why are copyright tags suddenly becoming general tags?

As the title says, sometimes I notice a purple copyright tag suddenly become a blue general tag. For instance, I've been trying to change the Gyakuten Saiban tag because it's been inexplicably changed into a general tag. But when I try with the copy:gyakuten_saiban edit, it doesn't work.

Is it still a copyright tag, or is there some glitch going on here? It's not showing up under the Copyright heading in the new format, but rather in the General heading. In fact the Copyright heading is totally absent in this case. I have no idea what's going on here, and it makes looking for copyright tags (or possibly character tags) all that more harder in the mess of general tags.

Copyrights

? gyakuten saiban 770

experienced this as well, same for artist agahari. modified rune_factory a few moments ago.

EDIT: rune_factory is gentag again?

This might be an issue on one of the servers and not the other I suppose but they're both fine for me.

This has happened before. It seems that the tag can only be changed back to copyright by first changing it to something else (eg. artist) then changing it to copyright from there.

gyakuten_saiban looks like a copyright to me, someone may have fixed it. I just fixed rune_factory to be a copyright.

I noticed via post #1361723 that tengen_toppa_gurren_lagann has become a general tag and that Gold users no longer have the ability to edit tag types from the Tag menu...I used to fix quite a few artist tags there. It'd annoy me to have to edit posts to do that now.

You're supposed to be a Builder.
Also, not sure if Gold users are now supposed to have more editing powers than members.

The ability to change tag types in the tag menu was removed.

tag search

shows it's purple (copyright). weird thing is post #1361723 still categorizes it together with gentags.

That was because I got too hasty and changed it back.

There were a lot of janitorial features we used to have access to, like post rating and note locking, the pool settings, etc. Seemed really weird, but was handy.
Eh, well, maybe someday.

This may be related to https://github.com/r888888888/danbooru/issues/439 when all tags were changed to general on post edit. But that problem should be fixed by now.

And on a slightly unrelated note.

Many users, that helped with some aspects of the site, were promoted to Privileged status instead of a Builder even after the latter one got added.
It's probably safe to assume that all Privileged(now Gold) members that were promoted by users other than Albert got their status by helping out rather than donating. But then, there are also those who were promoted before Builder status was even introduced. So I don't know if there are any reliable way to discern and possibly migrate all contributing members from Gold to Builder, or if it's even needed.

is this fixed already? rebuild_of_evangelion seems to be general tag (blue).

EDIT: ok, thanks. there seems to be still lot of tags that need to catch up though.

Yes, original issue is fixed, but some tags that were affected by it haven't been fixed/updated yet.
I've dealt with rebuild_of_evangelion.

It was still showing up as general to me. I fixed it and it seems to be working now.

I still see this issue with inazuma_eleven, if it counts.

Also, I see that fate_testarossa_(cosplay) is in characters when it should be in general with the rest of the cosplay.

This happened again, big time. SAO, hentai_ouji_to_warawanai_neko., and maybe some more set to general. I was trying to check how many & what but for some reason the posts aren't updating to having a copy count after fixing the tags back to copy unless an edit is made to the individual post.

edit: Ok actually the issue is the tagtype cascading. If a shortcut is created it sets the tag to general.

ogura_eisuke needs to be changed to an artist tag.

Fixed.

Also, that seems to have been caused by a recent alias to that tag. Since it was from a general to an artist tag, the category was overwritten.

mog should be a character tag.
