General Tag Discussion

For all tagging related discussions and questions that don’t need a specific thread.

It strikes me that “derpibooru exclusive” is a tag that likely needs changing. Change them all to “tantabus exclusive”, perhaps?

Will subsequent tag changes made on Derpibooru get synced to the posts that had already been imported? Goodness knows I spend enough time cleaning things up and tagging the oft-forgotten basics, I’d hate to have to do it twice.

How is shipping tags decided upon? E.g. Fluttershy x Sweetie Belle, is tagged as “Flutterbelle”. Why not “Sweetieshy”?
(Flutterbelle sounds good, and I like it.. just wanted to know the reasoning)

Honestly, it’s mostly just popularity and history at this point. Most ships have long-established ship names used across almost all fandom sites.

Could we maybe get some tags like resource in description, lora in description, model in description etc?
Those tags might be colored different than green?.., so I’m hesitant to adding them all willy nilly.

Edit:
There’s so many tags for messed up cutie mark, and I’m never really sure what tag to use when I see images without a tag for it at all, and the mark is all messed up.

alternate cutie mark and wrong cutie mark are the main ones.

ai doesn’t like cutie marks, altered cutie mark, cutie mark error, inaccurate cutie mark only have 1 image tagged as such.

If all these are supposed to be kept and used for cutie mark generation errors, it’d be helpful to know what tag to use when.
I’m assuming it will be inevitable that AI gets trained on AI.
Garbage in, garbage out. So it probably behooves us to tag cutie mark errors in a more uniform way.

Maybe have it as a requirement to tag e.g. one of the above or tag it with e.g. correct cutiemark? (or blank flank, for intended blank flanks)? Just like using a rating tag is required (I presume, haven’t uploaded anything yet)
