FAKKU Translator
This is meant to serve as a hub for anything related to tags or tagging on the FAKKU platform. Below are direct links to related topics, so make sure your post goes in the appropriate thread. Before you add a tag to any content, please read the Does the Tag Apply? section below. This gives you a basic rundown on tagging, but if you want a more in-depth understanding and further explanations on why tagging works this way, you should read the rest.

Does the Tag Apply?
First, check the definition of the tag on its page to make sure it fulfills our criteria. (example)
Unless the description says otherwise, follow these general presence rules for the various types of tags:
Action: the scene should be a handful of pages long - 1-2 panels of deepthroat in a blowjob scene gets the blowjob tag but not deepthroat.
Moment: a few panels suffice - 4 pages of double penetration ending in a full-page panel with creampie and squirting gets all three tags.
Actions and Moments are similar, but a good rule of thumb is if it can go on for more than a few seconds, it's an action (cunnilingus, facesitting, footjob); otherwise it's a moment (ahegao, biting, leg lock). Another way to think of it is "this is an anal scene..." (action) "...featuring a facial" (moment).
Appearance: it's the main look/feature of the act - a nurse that goes on a date in casual attire on her day off does not get the nurse tag.
Appearance includes physical attributes (freckles, tall girl), outfits (nun, sportswear) and accessories/tools (glasses, toys).
Setting: it's the main scenario of the act - taking separate baths at a love hotel before the act gets the love hotel tag but not bathroom.
Setting includes literal locations (outdoors, pool), but also themes (monster girl, christmas) and genres/archetypes (netorare, tsundere).
What is The Act?
Many definitions will state that the tag must be present "during the act." This includes anything from characters making out or the initial foreplay to post-coitus pillow talk; or in other words, the most important, main part of an ero manga (typically the last 70-80% of pages) and excludes anything that happens on story/gag pages. Also note that most chapters have multiple acts - if a character gives a blowjob while masturbating in the first half, and then on another day cosplays during an MMF threesome, the chapter gets all four aforementioned tags featured in the two acts/scenes.
Secondly, tags apply to the participants of the act - if Friend A is an office lady, Heroine B has a ponytail, and Boyfriend C wears glasses, the chapter gets tagged ponytail and glasses when B and C gets it on, and office lady only applies if A joins in on the act. Side characters don't count.
More on Actions and Moments
These are the hardest to judge since they rarely span the entire length of the content. Expanding on the summary above, another rule of thumb would be that if an action is featured on 20-25% of the pages, it's safe to tag it. This comes out to 5-10 pages in a standard 24-38 page manga, which in itself is a pretty good rule to go by. That said, longer releases likely have multiple scenes in them, so the percentage rule becomes less reliable; e.g., 10/80 pages is less than 13%, but a 10 page blowjob section still deserves the tag. That's why it's best to think of these tags as requiring a dedicated scene.
Another scenario to consider are actions within an action, like a 5 page blowjob scene with 2 pages of deepthroat. The two pages of deepthroat are by themselves not enough to meet the 20-25% presence criteria, but since it takes up almost half of the scene and is strongly related to the main action, it still makes sense to tag it. Another similarly symbiotic tag combination would be cunnilingus and facesitting, or sixty-nine and fingering. They go together, and rather than having a 3 page sixty-nine scene and a 3 page fingering scene, you have a 6 page foreplay scene featuring both actions.
In this way, some tags blur the line between an action and a moment.
In summary, 5-10 pages or 20-25% is perfect as a lower limit, but anything less than that becomes a judgment call. For moments, a few panels is enough, but for scene-defining action tags like paizuri, it's not. It should at least get close to the hard number quotas above for it to be considered tag-worthy.
The Philosophy Behind Presence Rules
One could take the approach that if it appears at all, it gets the tag. However, I believe this system better serves the user.
Consider a chapter like Cosplay Honey ☆ Bunny. The character is dressed like a maid on the first and last page, and there's a collage where she wears a nurse uniform, a swimsuit, and a kimono. However, she ends up wearing a bunny girl outfit for 18/22 pages instead. Her hairstyle also changes, but she goes with twintails during the bunny portion. This chapter only has the cosplay, bunny girl, and twintails tags, and I think that collection of themes best describes what you actually get from reading this. Anyone clicking on this expecting swimsuits would be disappointed to find out it's only a single panel on a single page, and this or this release by the same artist is a much better match for what they're looking for.
I doubt many would disagree with the above example, but this mindset applies to tagging as a whole. If you click on an illustration tagged elf, you want to see an elf. Yes, it's only a single page, but in the case of an illustration, that's 100% of the pages. Same logic extends to full-length chapters; if the content is tagged ninja pantyhose footjob, you expect the story to be about those things, or at the very least, have a section/scene dedicated to it.
The Presence Rule in Bigger Collections (books, doujinshi box sets, etc.)
For content like books where several releases are compiled into one piece of content, the tag needs to be present in at least 2-3 of the chapters (for a standard book) or 25-30% of the pages for the main book to get the tag. The individual chapters are tagged separately as any other piece of stand-alone content, but unless it's a reoccurring theme found in several of the chapters, the main book won't get the tag.
