@Tomzai danbooru does not follow source tags 1:1. Above all you should only tag what you can see in the picture, save for rare exceptions. This picture references this famous scene of Stardust Crusaders, yes, but the copyright tag + tag for the meme (let's_hit_the_road_(jojo)) is enough. There's no direct visual indication of presence for those jojo characters, so their tags do not belong in this picture. Other cases for this are for example yandere_trance -gasai_yuno or loituma -ievan_polkka_(vocaloid).
It's a meme reference, of course they're the same. We still don't tag the characters if they're not in the picture though, unless there's no other way to find the picture. But this is a famous scene, so a tag for it will suffice.
That really doesn't make any sense to me. If it was just the pose, I could understand. Almost all of the examples you listed are also just other characters doing the poses/scenes, so of course you wouldn't tag the referenced characters there. But I don't see how that applies as well to an image where the four characters depicted are exact copies of four specific named characters, down to every facial detail, with the only difference being skin color.
That sounds honestly ridiculous, but I'm not gonna get into a fight over it.
Also changed the artist name to add a qualifier. Next time don't nuke a gentag just because you want to replace it with an artist name.
That's first time that happened for me, i assure you it was not intentional. I somehow assumed that it would automatically differentiate the tags, i stand corrected.
So you're saying that because that one picture has copypasted face from the anime (and only the face), it's eligible to be tagged with the character tag. But in this case where the artist has drawn the characters so close to the original (physique and face feature -wise) that from a glance someone could even think those are traced, but because the skin color, hairstyle and clothes are different, it doesn't count?
Is that how it works? Is there any written guideline to this? Honestly im curious.

I'm not calling you a liar, but how do you unintentionally remove a tag from nine other posts? Changing a general tag into an artist tag doesn't remove it from anywhere; it just makes the tag turn red. Unless you're using some sort of a script you would have had to manually remove the tag from each post individually, so what did you expect would happen after that?

Since the artist tag and the general tag where (at that time) the same, i went and untagged the now incorrect artist tag since i couldnt figure out what else to do that point, so i at least did that.
I intended to do something about it later but someone else got to it first.

Yeah, I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. You can't have one tag with multiple tag types, because keeping them sorted would probably be a nightmare otherwise. Sorry you had to find this out the hard way. Next time you feel like creating an artist tag, make sure the tag isn't already being used for something else, because when artists create their usernames, they don't care how it will affect our tagging system.
As for breaking things and intending to fix them later: don't do that. Like, ever. If you screw something up and don't know what to do, you'll save yourself a lot of future trouble by asking for help in the forums instead of just leaving a problem for someone else to deal with.
