TAG DISCUSSION

First order of business I’ve seen - Princess Cadance/Cadence needs to be some kind of merge/alias.

I do imagine tag aliasing/merging and the like will come soon. Zizzy’s most likely deal with all sorts of stuff considering the massive influx of traffic on a brand new site.
 
It’s no doubt gonna be a major thing that will need to be worked through, along with the many other major things in order to get “caught up” so to speak.

hmu for tag aliasing, I’d like to help with that

Could the goose tag be moved up from a general tag to a species tag, same as alicorn and pony?

Various Weapons Grade Cute and hyphenations are separated at the moment.

New list of tags to be fixed:
 
SPECIES  
fluffy pony  
canada goose  
ant  
bird  
blue jay  
duck  
pegasus  
unicorn  
squirrel  
tortoise  
swan

EPISODE TITLE  
Sparkle’s seven

hopefully you’ll have all episodes added soon enough

Heya! I’m aware this site is completely new, and hate to bug you guys so early about it,  
but would I be able to claim a tag as my own?

@caramel  
Currently, it is exactly like faggotbooru, minus the communism. If you have a decent OC, upload it and claim a tag by applying it freely.

@Crazieman  
Sounds like /mlp/. I approve of this. Would be neat to add descriptors and preview pics sort of like Derpi has, so that there’s a distinction between the OCs that have similar/the same name

@caramel  
It took me a bit to understand what you meant, I suddenly recalled now - on many images when you click the tag it has an established image and description before displaying the search results.  
I’m not in charge or have such an ability. That is up to Zizzy and co

@Crazieman  
Gotcha. I appreciate your consideration and response. Nice pfp btw, keep up the great work! <3

Just realized that not all characters from the show have a color and positioning change to indicate their character tag. tag:mayor+mare for example will not show a separate color.

I wonder if there’s a way to get the aliases derpi uses. Or maybe even ask the admins for them, they haven’t really acted hostile to alternatives (I bet you byte[] would be willing to help if it doesn’t take a lot of effort).  
Species tags and the like can also be scraped from derpi easily enough using their tag search.

@Anonymous #F9FD  
Doesn’t the API support tag scraping?

@Caramel  
Probably but I don’t know about alias scraping.  
Actually now that I think about it maybe the database dumps have the aliases; wait, of course they do, why did I not think of that? While we’re at it, the tags table also has the category right there, so you don’t even need to scrape things from the website.

@Anonymous #F9FD  
Perfect. Should be very simple to implement in that case. And if there’s a scriptfag out there with enough balls to pull it off, we could automate moving over art, like I believe user:Memely was suggesting in /forums/meta/topics/site-functionality-suggestion.

@Caramel  
To move over things retroactively, importing existing databases/archives would be best (especially since that’ll also catch deleted images that have been archived). For new stuff, I think Philomena has recently had an API added specifically to let new uploads get immediately grabbed, which could be used to auto-upload anything that gets uploaded to derpibooru, should something like this be wanted.

Trying to fix my shitty tagging on previous uploads from last night. I just wanted to get images up to make sure the site is successful. Now that it looks like its a roaring success, I need to correct my fuckups.

We still have quite a few canon characters that do not have the proper name coloration in tags.

So anatomically correct becomes pony pussy? Hmm. I was surprised by the change and a little taken aback. Is there a reason?

@Caramel  

 
One of my OCs, Cryptic, had other OCs with that tag on Derpibooru but yeah, just upload the art and tag it. You could also change the name if that works better. In the end, that’s why I ended up doing so the first name was a nickname and the full name was different.

@ButtercupSaiyan  
You can always just do “oc:name (username)” if there is an overlap of 2 characters that both have a lot of images

@Anonymous #CEA6  

 
Good idea, Anonymous.

Hey, are the rating guidelines the same as they were on Derpibooru? Just the ratings.

@Zaknel  
I don’t really see any reason why they would be different.
