Danbooru

Tag moves: shikai

Posted under General

I'm not fond of losing the Bleach note on a Bleach-specific tag, but as far as I can tell shikai isn't the artist's name.

His webpage has 四平. Depending on whether it's a first name or a family name, it could be read as Shihei or Yoshihira, respectively, according to my name dictionary.

No idea which applies. Such a minimalist site...

This page says the same: it could be either Shihei (a given name) or Yoshihira (a surname), with no mention of "Shikai" as an alternative.

Yeah, a bleach qualifier on something that only exists within the bleach universe isn't exactly a stretch. I'm fine with moving the artist to a new tag but I see no reason to unqualify the something that essentially cannot occur outside bleach.

If "shikai", on Danbooru, only means that thing of Bleach, (we don't have shikai (touhou), shikai (vocaloid), shikai (hetalia), etc.) then I'd think it would be reasonable to have that tag without a qualifier, just like bankai, resurreccion, taichou haori and fukutaichou badge.

The idea of keeping qualifiers for things that are unique and restricted to one series may have some value, but is still odd to me. Would we slippery-slope want to do that more often, with these (below), for example, or not?

I'd say don't change it if there's no problem with it and said change won't bring us any noticeable advantages.

Shikai_(bleach) is a term from bleach setting, so it's only natural and correct that it's qualified.
As for the other series specific tags I don't really see a need to change anything as long as there are no confusion. And if said confusion will arise or tag is considered to be ambiguous enough we can always add a qualifier.

If shikai gets a (bleach) qualifier, that would be because it's ambiguous, not because it's "just from Bleach". Nothing else is going to be called "danchou pyramid" or "vs. seeker" so those don't need a qualifier.

Fair enough. I'd like the artist tag to get a qualifier, too, please, for the same reasons.
