Tag Alias: age_regression -> young

Aliasing age_regression -> young.

Reason: Same thing.

Not necessarily.

An 80-year-old who is now 40 is age regression but not young.

Age regression so far seems to focus on characters turning into obviously young versions of themselves.

Doesn't have to, though, so agreed with what Log noted.

I'd go for an implication. The young tag states that it's for images where the character in question is in a younger state than they are usually portrayed. While it does mention children, it doesn't actually specify an age, so unless we change the wiki, an image of an 80 year old reverting to a 40 year old WOULD fall under both age_regression and young.

But I do agree than an alias is a bad idea.

Just noticed that we had age_regression tag, what is it for? I thought the young tag indicate the characters are younger than how they usually are, not to note if the person is young or old.

Age Regression was originally aliased to young, around 11 months ago in forum #42918 it was unaliased.

Just quickly glancing over it, the original intention for age_regression seems to be to display more than one stage of being younger or to display something that indicates a transformation to the younger stage (which is normally lacking in most young images).

At minimum it was meant to be an opposite of the age progression tag.

True. But I suppose if we do use it to just mean "younger than usually portrayed" then it's exactly equivalent to young.

Or we do this, and use it only for images showing a direct comparison between two or more.

Although there are very few of these, and 3+ is incredibly rare.

The main indicator for age_regression is typically oversized_clothes. post #552983 and post #278601 are examples that actually happened in their show/game. Though in Rydia's case she actually reverted to her child clothes as well, but... fanart.

Eh? Not in post #278601, she didn't. That lace-up bodysuit and the thigh-high boots are definitely her adult costume. Child Rydia wore Roman-style sandals and a leotard.

I meant in-game. I worded that badly, sorry.

What do we tag the opposite, when the characters has grown to adult form and is getting too big for their clothes, as in post #706701? People seem to indicate age_progression as the opposite of age_regression, but the current wiki and some of the commenters here seem to want it exclusively focused on there being visible stages. If it's not and we only have context, what is the tag to use?

Undersized_clothes. I had noticed awhile ago there wasn't an opposite of oversized_clothes, so I went ahead and made one.

Not the clothes... I mean the implied rapid aging (it's not always going to result in undersized clothes - it's just one example), as age_regression is sometimes used for de-aging (and now that I check de-aging is even aliased). It would help to have consistent opposites on the matter and use age_progression, but I don't want to edit the wiki and start applying the tag without any consensus.
