Tag Discussion: nails

Posted under General

So, we have the tag nails(1052), but we also have fingernails(2080) and toenails(182) (implicated by long_fingernails and long_toenails respectively).

Normally I'd vote to implicate nails from fingernails and toenails, but that seems like an excessive chain when you get a post with either of the "long" variants. I'm thinking it should be nuked; I'm going through "nails -fingernails -toenails" at the moment and adding the applicable ones at the moment.

Well, that makes this job a bit longer. I'll remove nails as I go along (unless I run across the decided meaning, of course) then. Afterwards, I guess I'll go through the searches for "nails fingernails" and "nails toenails" and fix them, since a mass edit would break any posts that actually contain both finger/toenails and nails.
Ahh, Danbooru.

EDIT: Perhaps the removal of the alias long_nails>>>long_fingernails is in order, since long_toenails exists too. I'll whack at the wikis when I'm done with the tags.

EDIT2: The search "nails fingernails" results in hundreds and hundreds of posts. I'm not bothered by using a tag script to click through and delete the nails tag, except it seems a bit like cheating to raise my tag edits count by that much. Perhaps a mass-edit is in order, since there probably aren't many images that contain both on purpose. What to do?

If you're willing to do it, then do. It's not "cheating", and a mass edit would kill posts legitimately tagged nails, which is wrong.

Went through all the posts in "nails fingernails" and found one instance of actual nails, and it had been improperly tagged with fingernails as there were none in the image. I did my best to manually check hires and complex images along with ones that failed to load thumbnails or contained wood or weapons that may contain nails, so hopefully very few slipped through.
I'm still for removing the implication of long_nails->long_fingernails, as I stumbled across quite a few images with no fingernails but extremely long toenails, especially with the catgirls. I'm almost convinced that someone mass edited or implicated nails onto fingernails at some point...

End result; only two images left under nails and my tag edit count has nearly doubled. I don't have the heart to go through "hammer -nails -weapon" and find ones lacking the tag, since it's huge in itself. "nails toenails" was emptied due to the first operation. My clicking finger's melted as well.
EDIT: As I was typing, someone added nails to a post ala the improper way. xD BANHAMMER.
EDIT2: I moved the remaining posts in nails to nail, so the former can be nuked to clear it from deleted posts and the wiki entry I created.

Just so you're not left hanging out in the wind on this, I think it needs to be made clear: If you're doing good gardening, don't worry about your edit count. If you're not just screwing around, a greater number just means more progress, and I feel pretty confident that you're actually not screwing around precisely because you're worried about it. Looking through your edits before the nail incident, I see I'm right. Keep at it, and welcome to our little hell!
