rarimac should be aliased to ship:rarimac (I already took care of the implications for the latter, but for the record it's a ship between Rarity and Big Mac)

quarter hearts → character:quarter hearts
He already has his own tag, he just needs his old tag aliased

artist:single purpose, artist:zwiebelbr0t → artist:sp_draws (SP_draws is their twitter handle and they're most active on Twitter)

The tags le chat noir and la tournée du chat noir avec rodolphe salis should be aliased into one another, because in practice they both refer to ponifications of the same poster by Théophile Steinlen. Probably the former should be preferred because gestures

momlight sparkle should be aliased to mama twilight, since they mean the same thing and the latter is much more heavily used.

Fixed.

@Wcctnoam
character:bright smile still has an implication for character:castle (crystal pony). I managed to get rid of it implying the old tag but it still shows being implied by the old tag

There were quite a few aliases pending so I hope I got them all.

cocosaddles should be aliased to ship:cocosaddles.

shopping bags should be aliased to shopping bag or vice-versa. I would actually prefer the vice-versa, because it makes more logical sense to tag an image with multiple shopping bags as "shopping bag" than an image with one shopping bag as "shopping bags," but there are far more shopping bags images than shopping bag images.

mid-life crisis and midlife crisis should be aliased to one another. Besides obviously being spelling variants of each other, they are each tagged on precisely the same three images, so there is literally no meaningful difference between them.

pinkamena diane pie → character:pinkamena diane pie ?

both tags already existed and had implications, but since for the most part alternate forms seem to get character tags, i gave the latter coloring and a description.

…normally when finding character tags i just masstag to the new tag and keep note of the needed alias to post in one big post later, but this one's kind of a special case and also has way too many images anyways

I think that's a great idea! I'm pretty sure Wcct has already been tagging some g4 characters as g4 so I don't see it as an issue :o

Found a couple more characters that need the character tag

glass slipper → character:glass slipper (Just for clarification, this is one of the crystal background ponies, the footwear already has a tag )

fleur de verre → character:fleur de verre (Another crystal BP)

castle (crystal pony) / bright smile → character:castle (crystal pony) / character:bright smile

Edit: Are we able to modify character tags? If so, how do we do it?

Okay, I've updated a couple of these, just waiting for them to be aliased!

@Wcctnoam
makes sense

Characters implying a generation seems like a good idea, just be careful of the few that are in multiple ones. I don't know them all but a few come to mind, like Minty being in all of them so far, or the different Twilights, or Spike. Even Grogar. They probably shouldn't imply any of them.

@Lilymoon
Ahh okay! I'll give that a try later then for some of the characters I mentioned =D

@NorthernDawnArt
what i've been doing while tracking down characters is:
- making the character:* tag and making it blue (there should be an option that says "category" with a drop down under the edit details button
- if the character doesn't have that many images i just remove the old tag and add the new one, otherwise i've just been adding the new tag and taking note that it needs an alias to post later =P

Alright. That will require retagging a fair few images because snake is used rather broadly at the moment, but that's doable.

Anyone opposed to characters implying their generations? I've been doing so with older gen characters, and I think the g5 characters already do, but I think in general it could help with generation undertagging.

What we should probably have is "species:lamia" for the very specific definition of it, and "species:snake pony" for the catch-all term. The first one could imply the second one, but I'm not educated enough on these and I kinda don't want to be, so I trust others' judgements.
I don't think either should imply snake because then "snake" means a literal snake, the animal as we know it, is in the picture, same way you would use the tag dog or cat or dragon.

Should species:lamia imply snake? A large proportion of lamia images (about 800) aren't tagged with snake, but a reasonable number (about 300) are, and after all lamias are snake-like creatures.

An additional question is what should be done with snake pony? In some cases such as this it seems to be basically equivalent to lamia, but in other cases like this it is just a pony-ish snake. In either case it seems a bit redundant, but I'm not clear what implications or aliases it ought to have.

Related to that, I edited several lamia and snake-related tags with implications. Most of these were "x-lamia" tags indicating that character x was a lamia, to which I added the implication that the character in question was in the image and that there was a character of species:lamia. I was somewhat unsure how to handle the tag fluttersnake, which was approximately evenly divided between images of her as a snake and her as a lamia, so I only added that it implied fluttershy.

Here's a couple more
written script → character:written script
goldenscript → ship:goldenscript (Shipping between Written Script and Golden Harvest)

I haven't messed with the tagging system, mostly out of fear of breaking something, but I'll try to add some implications to the ship tag

@Workable Goblin
i've been putting cute when i see them, since that's the whole point of those tags in the first place =P

@Workable Goblin
I would give it a go but I don't think we can access that page
