Tag Thoughts? Bring Them Up Here! (Says: SqueakyFriend)

I love that I got a valid reason to repost this doodle. I originally made this back on the booru to complain about the ridiculously terrible tag situation they had, with several variations of every major tag, typo tags, mis-tagged names, etc. I helped a bunch with cleaning it up at the time.

And now I’m a janitor here! Things I’ve done:
Beefed up the pokemon as much as I could and added content to some other minor tags (like balloon)
Added freezing as a synonym for frozen
Added tags for prejudice, circus, and amusementpark-fair - I’ve filled in the circus tag, but prejudice is too intimidatingly common for me so I doubt I’ll get around to it anytime soon.

And now I’m opening the floor for you guys! What are your tag needs? Is there a tag that you think needs beefing up? Is there a tag you think we should add or remove or even combine with another one? Add a tag synonym? Or maybe you just wanna rename/expand a tag you feel is too narrow? Bring it up here!

I can’t promise I’ll do everything asked because we have a lot of stuff and no pagination and big changes need approval from the proper mods. I really am just a mouse with a broom, my workload capacity is very small.

Addendum: Remember, we have a limited amount of tags. If we add too many, the site will begin to lag and it’ll get more difficult to find anything. If you want to suggest a new tag or split, please make sure it’s something that would get a lot of use and isn’t covered by an existing tag.

To reduce tag bloat I think that ghost should be folded into supernatural.

Please separate spayneuter into castration and spaying.

Also fluffies as toilet paper.

Do you mean like, wiping your ass on their fur
Or them eating and licking…

May I ask why? The two are largely the same thing, just with different sexes, so it’d feel like a rather arbitrary change that just adds bloat.

As for fluffy toilet paper, is there enough content like that to warrant a tag?

Yeah the two cover the same topic. There definitely isn’t enough spaying content to justify a standalone tag…most people prefer the visceral imagery of an explosive abortion (which we do have a tag for)

Playing pretend. Common thing for fluffies.

I like the word castration and spayneuter sounds lame. But I get it.

Fluffies as TP used to be an old thing. Maybe not enough content in recent times.

Hiding? Maybe hiding behind hooves?

I think the issue may be an ambiguity as to whether it falls into “fluffies as tools” preventing it from getting tagged with that tag and as a result preventing it from being findable at all

mad science

Science/science fiction is a tag

We have a tag for regular science which only has 222 entries, I don’t think splitting it up further with mad-science would be a good idea…

I see I see. But still, is it common enough to warrant its own tag? It’s not feasible to make a new tag for something with only 5 posts, so I think some example links would be needed to prove it’s common enough to tag.

How about a tag for either being stuck in wet cement, mud or a glue trap?

We have a “stuck” tag already.

Amputation-as-punishment would be nice, i think i mentioned disability not existing outside of disabled-foal in the other thread.

Looking through some of my posts there’s no tag for any sort of police i could find. I also wish we had a name for that shock brain reset shit that’s pretty common. Electrical exists but the reset is a specific trope i’d like to be able to seek out. I may have just missed the tag if it exists, though. In looking through them i found out working-fluff was a thing and i was going to complain about that. At some point today i’ll look into adding tags to my own works.

Ace wants a tag for fancy dressed fluffies if there is enough content for that and I would like a competition tag for hunger games style events and stories

! UPDATE !

@Ace playing-pretend is now a tag! We decided against merging ghost with supernatural, but an alternate option would be to expand ghost into an #undead tag, allowing for skeletons and zombies (which tend to go untagged due to being science gone wrong) too. Still being discussed.
@Vee - soon-mummah has been added as a synonym for pregnant-mare, which should hopefully lessen the amount of untagged pregnancies.
@Maple - we decided against amputation-as-punishment (needlessly dividing a tag by cause) or reset (too niche, not likely to get more content). A tag for police is a good idea, especially if expanded to include firefighters and stuff too, but it’s still being discussed cuz we don’t know what a good name would be yet.
@Carniviousduck #chicken has now been renamed to bird, which means ducks are officially taggable!
@bdfdsbf I’ve decided to hold off on creating a hiding tag. It could be created, but it doesn’t feel like anyone would care about it, either, making it a lot of work for no gain. If people grow interested in having such a tag, it could be made later on.

Fancy tag for all the well dressed, well groomed, or fluffies with good genetics. A tag for the high class fluffies

If you can add synonyms, why not add castration and spaying as synonyms for “spayneuter”? I remember personally struggling for like a minute to identify the tag for castration.

Synonyms still count as tags, so we need to be conservative with them. #spaying is too close to spayneuter to be necessary, but I will bring up the idea of making #castration a synonym!
