Any suggestions for new tags should go in this topic.
Before posting a new tag suggestion, please do the following:
- Go through the tags page and make sure no similar tag(s) already exists
- Go through this topic to see if someone else suggested your tag, and if they did, upvote their post instead
- Provide at least ten examples from the site where the tag would be applicable to justify its existence
- If what the tag refers to is apparent at a glance (like Tanlines), it's sufficient to link the gallery (example)
- If it's a specific act/thing (like Heart Pupils), link directly to the page where the tag appears (example)
- For anime content, list where in the video it appears
New threads made outside of this topic and posts not following the above guidelines will be locked/deleted to prevent clutter.
@Bman
Is there any action item or expectation around when the tags in this thread may be added? Thanks!
Well, the thread creator hasn't made any response since its creation, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
@YQII, or any other staff that read this
There's an easy way to make tagging on the site work better. Just remove the restrictions on items' tag suggestion pages, so we aren't limited to tags that already exist. Basically, let us type and submit
anything in the text field on that page (having suggestions still come up is a good idea though). You guys have to approve all of our suggestions anyway, so this wouldn't be much different than the way things are now. (Yes, this also means we could suggest controversial tags.)
The general rule of thumb is, if the suggested tag accurately describes the work in question, it should be approved and added. Once a particular tag has enough usages, you could consider giving it an entry on the tags page. Also, once a certain usage threshold was reached, a tag would automatically start to show up in suggestions.
Every so often, you could cull anything that is only used once or twice from the database. Ideally, you'd also want to add some parent-child tag relations to help automate things a bit.
For example, adding a child tag such as "cat_ears" or "bunny_ears" would cause the parent "animal_ears" tag to be added automatically. Tag aliases would also be a good addition, so that you could get the same results searching "nekomimi" or "kemonomimi" as you would if you searched "cat ears" or "animal ears", respectively.
Anyway, we also need a way of grouping together items that are part of a series.
Here are only a few examples:
