Most of them pertain to merging, something I can’t do. I had been operating under the assumption another higher-level member of staff would check these too and handle them, but apparently that isn’t the case.

Something of an artist
A compilation of my earlier entries that haven’t been done yet:
“Wallpaper” should be additionally implied by these things:
ponygen wallpapers, iphone wallpaper, phone wallpaper, wallpaper edit, wallpaper for the fearless
https://tantabus.ai/tags/wallpaper
“Close up” should be implied by these things:
close up series, extreme close-up
https://tantabus.ai/tags/close-dash-up
“Moon” should have an alias “the moon” and be additionally implied by:
blood moon, blue moon, crescent moon, mare in the moon, sleeping on moon
https://tantabus.ai/tags/moon
“Petting” should be implied by:
human on pony petting, human on zebra petting
https://tantabus.ai/tags/petting
“Bodypaint” should have aliases “body paint, body painting” and be implied by “painted on clothing”.
https://tantabus.ai/tags/bodypaint
“Laptop computer” should imply “computer”, be implied by “macbook” and have an alias “laptop”.
https://tantabus.ai/tags/laptop+computer
“Wingless” should have these aliases added:
no wings, wingless pegasus, no wing
https://tantabus.ai/tags/wingless
“Legs up” should be aliased to “legs in air”.
https://tantabus.ai/tags/legs+up
https://tantabus.ai/tags/legs+in+air
“Maid” should have these aliases added:
maid costume, maid uniform, maid dress
https://tantabus.ai/tags/maid
“Summer flare” should be removed from the implications for “cinder glow”, it’s already its alias.
https://tantabus.ai/tags/cinder+glow
“:p” should imply “tongue out” and have these aliases:
bleping, blep, blepping, =p, bleb
“Holding object” should probably be aliased to “holding”.

Right, so keep “ambiguous character” official, “Schrodinger’s character” as an alias, and do away with “Schrodiner’s Spyro” until and unless it becomes common enough to warrant a separate tag…
About as I would have expected in hindsight.
Incidentally, I do strongly believe unique tags aren’t always bad. If something is rare, sometimes that means it is a highly memorable, and possibly THE most memorable thing about the image.

To me, offscreen male sounds like he’s depicted (not just implied), but mostly off-screen. This mostly means only legs or hands are depicted.
Faceless male sounds like male without a face. If we go in the direction the tag description tries to define, I guess the description should say something like “he’s mostly there, but his head is out of the frame”.

Not necessarily. This site is not that site, and some of the implications and tags on that site are from more than a decade ago. And for those very oldest of all implications that came from when implications first came into existence in BooruOnRails, those implications have had time to evolve and expose a great number of “whoops, that isn’t actually useful” or even “Holy shit that was a mistake how do we fix it?” along the way.
For example, the short definition of faceless male is “a male character is partially present (physically)”, and to me that sounds more like how offscreen male is used - even though that really has become a term that means NONE of the male is onscreen, but that’s what we have implied [foo] tags for.
So … We aren’t Derpi. We inherited their tags because it would have been dumb to abandon the enormous amount of tagging that had already happened on the images we imported, and along with those imports came the whole spider web of ‘how all these tags fit together’. But, over time, we keep finding dumb tags, or dumb implementations, or flawed alaises. Many things that made sense when they were created but over time have ended up being dumb.
Maybe, just maybe, The Old Ones who created the infinite potential and chaos that was the soup from whence Derpi was birthed made mistakes that Derpi could never rectify because The Old Ones still haunted their database to such an extend that their mistakes and “Try this let’s see if it works” ended up becoming crystalized like ancient diamonds.
2LDR: Maybe we can tag intentionally and over time our tags will end up better. Sometimes tagging changes on Derpi make sense and can benefit us. But sometimes they look wrong or cause problems that we don’t want to deal with, or have dealt with in different ways. This specific set of tags? Looks wrong to me.
I would not be comfortable making those implications without a good long chatting with the tagging wonks and an even longer “let’s sleep on it”.
After all, on this site something with 8K tags is 10% of the database, and that’s a great bit old chunk of images to retroactively apply or remove tags from when an implication changes.

Default search

If you do not specify a field to search over, the search engine will search for posts with a body that is similar to the query's word stems. For example, posts containing the words winged humanization, wings, and spread wings would all be found by a search for wing, but sewing would not be.
