I see the "elf" tag used a lot for pictures of Fire Emblem's manaketes. They're dragon-humans, not elves, but their pointy ears are making people think otherwise.
A "manakete" tag should be introduced for correctness.
This happens to every pointy_ears character. There are just some users running around adding elf to every image wiht pointy_ears they come across. I removed quite a few elf tags in the past.
That said, I don't think a manakete tag is necessary for the limited amount of characters of that race.
Huh. For some reason I (not being a follower of any copyrights that would use the tag regularly) thought elf was actually aliased to pointy ears right up until seeing this thread, but it looks like it's only an implication. Maybe those other people are too?
