Also is it me or is Spike drunk?

Can someone make the thunderclap tag like the other characters in the series.
And no Thunderlane and Thunderclap aren’t the same character, Thunderlane has a brother.

Not that it makes much difference for tagging purposes, seeing as there are other, more definite, samples of “the other stuff” in there.

Mare needs to be either yeeted off of all “anthro” images and remain solely on “pony”, or merged into “female”.
No to both.

Not seeing a problem with that.
P.S. Unless either of you want to add “cub”, “bitch”, “male dog”, “buck”, “doe”, “stag”, etc etc for all the non-pony sexes and ages, in which case please leave in direction of furbooru.

Again, furbooru is the other way, ponies are the default.
Excessive “specificity” (i.e. specifying things when there is negligible amount of results where a more general search will fail, or over-specifying details: tagging every “wings” image with “feather” is very specific and also actively counterproductive, for example) is a waste of time. A far better effect would be replacing “pony”, as in non-anthro, with “quadrupedal”, renaming “bipedal” into “bipedal stance” and applying “bipedal” itself, now empty, to canon two-legged species like minotaurs, dragons and Ahuizotl, and then using “pony” to denote the species instead of bodyplan. Then completely nuking all species-specific sex tags as they will become superfluous to searching for “species, sex”.

And it might be best (for keeping whining to a minimum) to keep
anthro as a sub-tag of biped – that would cover both anthro ponies, griffons etc, and canon bipeds drawn more human-shaped from the neck down.Maybe use
young as a catch-all for kid characters instead of colt, filly, child etc, keep loli and shota for lewd human/anthro specifically, have underage cover both of those + foalcon.I could see that working, though it’d be very messy and chaotic transition…

I agree with both of you. If the rest of staff (and users) is okay with it, we might start migrating some of those tags.

That’s what aliases are for.

Goes against my (implied) point of separating actual bipeds and furries, aka ones with completely humanoid body structure for species that don’t normally have it, like >>2385035. But works.
“Human” could present similar problem to “pony”, as it’s the tag that describes both species and bodyplan, but the amount of characters who match said bodyplan, but are not human, is negligible for as long as we’re a pony board and so can be disregarded.
>I could see that working, though it’d be very messy and chaotic transition…
At least Ponybooru is in a slightly better position to do it than twi and poner, due to not having had imported all the aliases and implications from Derpi.
P.S. Speaking of tags that lost their aliases, I would really like to have a consistent scale on tags for sexual characteristics. I.e. small/reasonably sized (alias: medium)/large (big)/huge/impossibly large/hyper lineup for breasts, penis, ass, etc etc, plus actual examples of those on tag pages, both so I don’t have to see grossly oversized ones, and so people who actually like that can find them reliably. For reference, derpi has “large penis” and “huge penis” aliased, so there’s a massive tag-gap between penis that reaches to navel and penis that is comparable in thickness to the character’s leg/torso.
P.P.S. Personally and specifically for breasts, I use conventional large as “large”, head-sized as “huge”, torso-sized “impossibly large”, body+ “hyper”. Furries tend to tag balloons and beachballs as merely “large”.
P.P.P.S. Speaking about the problem of entirety of furries. Description for “anthro” and “semi-anthro” should mention that non-humanoid shape is the default and does not warrant a tag (e.g. “search for it with !*anthro,!human” - note that “!biped” cannot be used, because birds exist), and that “feral” is for wild animals exclusively. Because I hate the stupid use of that term.

Well, yes, of course, but nouns feel like a more “correct” default for tags.

Hmm. On second thought,
anthro up into biped/-al. I could go either way, myself, though it would feel weird not to have
anthro imply biped, for obvious reasons. :PHmm. On second thought,
anthro centaur/ponytaur is a thing (and could be replaced with anthro and centaur/taur tags together – in fact, pretty much all *taur tags, except canon centaurs like Tirek and the classical human top with horse bottom kind, could be rolled into taur together with pony and/or other applicable species tags + in most cases anthro) and quadrupedal to boot, so maybe anthro should be separated entirely after all…At least Ponybooru is in a slightly better position to do it than twi and poner, due to not having had imported all the aliases and implications from Derpi.

Yes to all of that.

plantigrade anthro, unguligrade anthro and semi-anthro into anthro, combine with feet, hooves and arm hooves as needed. The only functional difference between
semi-anthro and unguligrade anthro is that the latter usually has hands and breasts, anyway. Barhandar
The only functional difference between semi-anthro and unguligrade anthro is that the latter usually has hands and breasts, anyway.
That is still a very noticeable bodyplan difference and IMO semi-anthro should stay (especially since the show itself dips into it pretty often). Plantigrade/unguligrade/digitgrade distinctions aren’t exactly necessary, but tagging feet/hooves/paws instead requires also tagging them on non-anthro bodyplans, where they’re superfluous (as the species tag for non-anthros already handles the non-written implication of what feet they have; pretty much every single instance of “pony” with feet is various jokes); additionally said distinction doesn’t hurt anything either, implying “anthro” already.
Also, in the rare case of where there are several kinds of feet in the picture, -grade tags allow searching for specific ones exclusively while anthro+limb don’t. For example plantigrade anthro with pony in same picture will be incorrectly returned if you want to search for unguligrade anthros and input “anthro,hoof”. Per-character tag groups and search that can be specified to search per-group when, coders?
That said please bring back pa/ua/da shorthand aliases back.

Presumably lack of education on the “zoomorphic” aka animal-shaped :V
Ah, I guess I misread you earlier; thought you meant to roll anthro up into biped/-al.
Lol no, my whole point is that they’re very much separate, and you can have non-anthro (in furry sense) biped species, like show-style young dragons, or all the birds. And as you’ve pointed out, anthro/human taurs are very much a possibility and are not bipeds.
Now imagine having to figure out a tag for a taur made out of pony body and also pony torso, hooves and all.

centaur thing
IMO centaur is a species tag (occupied by Tirac/Tirek alone), and “taur”, as per furry custom, is bodyplan tag for all six+limbed species with animal body and human(oid) torso in place of neck and head.
Fun fact: “taur” just means “bull”. Minotaur is Bull of Minos, and centaur is Hunter of Bulls.

Not really; it is, as you said, superfluous in most cases, and for non-anthros you’d only tag the exception as needed.
But for some reason, some people seem to have strong preferences about what their anthros have below the knees, which is why those differentiated tags were created in the first place…
Ultimately, I’ve no strong preference either way, personally. If the tags are legit useful, let’s keep them, if we can trim out the fat without losing functionality or too much convenience, that’s fine too.
