Deprecate fansub

BUR #40132 has been rejected.

deprecate fansub

No active posts for this tag, dubious use. Should be deprecated like machine-translated.

All officially subtitled posts are tagged with official_art subtitled status:any, tag "offsub" doesn't exist. Meanwhile fansub is supposed to be only for screencaps as stated on wiki so any potentially third-party subtitled non-screencap in third-party_edit subtitled status:any is off-limits for this tag even if they are animated because fansub is anime-only tag.

Plus, there is hard-translated tag specifically for third-party subtitles which is also used for animated works hard-translated animated status:any like post #5364668... And hard-translated screencap status:any is the thing so... are these official subs or fansubs?

Also see topic #2291 and topic #31569.

Hard-translated + anime_screencap is being used for actual text already present in the screencap like post #14913 or post #1564809 whereas fansub is actual subs applied to a screencap that wouldn't normally have text like post #3511

Doesn't have text to hard-translate it's a third thing. subtitled could be used as you mentioned, since screencaps are basically prohibited content I don't know how useful dividing official vs fansub is. If you alias it to subtitled I'd upvote that.

If there's no active posts in the tag then like… why do we care?

I'm asking because only 2 posts from there tagged with fansub (is post #3489804 fansub? is post #5345857 fansub?). And as I said, fansub is anime-only. I don't think I want to increase numbers of posts with fansub tag due to mistagging and this situation with special tag for "fan-subtitled anime screencap if anime doesn't have text to translate" is way too specific.

Yes I think both the ones you posted are fansub and if they aren't it's a pedantic reading of the tag.
