I was wondering...why is there a panties_around_one_leg tag?
IMO panty_pull already covers this (even the description say so).

They're not the same, Elfenus. There are just too many panties_around_one_leg posts needlessly tagged with panty_pull as well.

According to the wiki (before you edited it just now), panty_pull is for a pic where the panties aren't on their rightful place, but not completely removed either. That means all panties_around_one_leg should be panty_pull as well.

Don't just decide what panty_pull should mean on your own.

I didn't, it still says what it said before just not as specific.

Though I do think it would be more useful to separate them rather than subsets of each other. Right now if I want to find out what I'm looking for in "sex panty_pull" I have to search for "sex panty_pull -/paol -panties_aside". panties_around_one_leg is hardly a panty_pull anyway.

I'm a bit unsure of Biohazard aliased to Resident_Evil.

What if I am searching for a comparision between the two releases or perhaps even a poster that says on it, Biohazard and another, Resident Evil, on it? Now I would have to search through 200 posts to see if it even exists. Just a half baked thought.

Is the same game. So, take this like a better-known-as alias (instead of aka). One more thing, right now there are 120+ posts tagged "Resident_Evil"...thats about 7 pages. I can assure you: you wont get tired (try a search in 300+ pages, thats something).
And like surasshu said: If anything, shouldn't it be the other way around?

good lord, the Metal Gear related posts are tagged horribly.

alias: old_snake -> solid_snake
same character, just a different codename. anything with Old Snake can be tagged as metal_gear_solid_4, anyway.

implication: metal_gear_solid(_2/3/4) -> metal_gear?

Maybe it is just me, but I don't think tiara should be aliased to crown. Even though tiaras are a type of crown, you have tiaras like the ones in Sailormoon that are fit across the forehead that don't exactly look like what I'm imagine most people would be searching for when looking for crowns.

If the tiara tag is to be attached to the crown tag, I think it should be an implication and not an alias, especially since tiaras (especially those that look more like the typical crown in these drawings) can be differentiated from other crowns. Typically in the drawings (from what I've seen of the images), tiaras when on a character's head (ie when worn like the more stereotypical crowns) typically appear flat like post #268450 and don't usually appear to have anything holding them up on the character's hair.

Alternatively there is the circlet tag which could be used to retag all the images where the tiara is on the forehead, since they appear fairly similar. Though from looking at a few of the images tagged circlet, many images of circlets make clear enough that the circlet goes completely around the head, such as post #262529 (which is unlike a tiara which is shaped similarly to a hairband).

My whole reason for suggesting this is because I think there needs to be a way when searching to distinguish images like post #154321 and post #277454 from images like post #121560 and post #87499.

Shouldn't kunoichi be an alias to ninja? Practically all of images are of female ninjas (and will likely remain so in the future), so there really isn't a need to differentiate female ninjas (use something like the male tag on male ninjas). It looks like there is only around 20 images out of the 672 ninja images that have only male ninjas.

It probably should. At best the kunoichi tag could have referred to pictures with characters wearing the traditional kunoichi outfit with the short kimono like post #283084 or post #296207 but the tag is clearly being used for female ninjas in general. Also, ideally, male ninjas should be found by searching "male ninja". I'd alias shinobi to ninja as well if it weren't for the Sega game.

You can do that yourself, just edit a post with that tag and put artist: or art: in front of it (so, in the example of room_405, it would be art:room_405). That will change the tag type to artist (char: for character and copy: for copyright).
