found a few tags that might need aliasing due to simply being spelling variations:
I’ve already manually corrected them to the widely-used tags

Looks like you’ve gotten plenty of answers. However, along the lines of the historical artifacts that @Background Pony #7C7A mentioned, if you see something that’s a notable fuckup, there’s the probably not salmon tag (and the vanilla not salmon tag for slightly more comprehensible images). These are for truly WTF bizarre images, not extra leg jank.
Tangential, but my goto for AI derpiness are wings. It gets the perspective incorrect on those most of the time, but it’s a subtle error that’s often missed. Unlike fingers or toes, most people seemingly lack an internal understanding of how they should work (or they were too cumbrained by the so-called “more important” parts of the image).

Not for malformed, but people are tagging six fingers, six-fingered mare, extra finger, extra fingers, extra digits (which seem redundant and like they should be aliased together) and polydactyly (which IMO should be only for intentional extra digits, not mistakes, but people were even tagging that on animation errors before AI was a thing)
and a variety of other “extra X” tags
@🐴
Likewise only for bizarre images: machine learning abomination

And another thing. Why is probably not salmon put in the body type category while the not salmon tag is in the generic category?

Because “not salmon” is for generic weirdness and “probably not salmon” was created specifically for bodytype weirdness, mainly to help with big tagging efforts.
Fun fact: my search to target untagged solo “pony” features dozens of tags. You won’t guess the correct number, which is currently 152.

Does NOT apply to the uploader adding several to a dozen tags after originally uploading with minimum to bare tagging.

happy new year!!
some tags that should mean the same thing! pls correct me if i’m wrong ^^
epic face -> awesome face (growing up i thought it was called the epic face but maybe that was cuz i played too much roblox…)
fringe -> bangs (people seem to refer to it as bangs in the US and fringe in other places?)
halfbody -> half body
no legs -> legless
raffle winner -> raffle prize
starry backdrop -> starry background
discord statue -> statue discord
thigh socks -> thigh highs

“bangs” is exclusively a US and Filipino English term, while “fringe” is exclusively a UK term. All English speaking countries refer to the style as “forelocks”, and that’s what the tag should be called.

@Blissful690
ohh i see! i just did a quick google search ^^’ also, i get what you mean, but bangs has more tags under its name than fringe, and forelocks doesn’t seem to exist as a tag and i think it’d have to exist first to be aliased

Proposals for aliasing, etc. should be posted to a new thread, not the general discussion thread; they easily get lost in the general discussion thread.
fringe -> bangs (people seem to refer to it as bangs in the US and fringe in other places?)
fringe” is also used for other things: a TV series (this could be retagged as fringe (series) if necessary) or this kind of clothing design feature (although I don’t see the tag fringe actually having been used for that - instead, only fringes and only on >>1017593)

When an uploader posts multiple versions of an image, the alternate tag can be applied, although it’s not done consistently, and it doesn’t indicate which was the “parent” image on Derpibooru. Is there a way to link alternates to the parent images? Would adding an extra source be appropriate in this case?

Reposting as I think my question got missed.
I think someone’s misusing the artist:moe tag to refer to images sourced from archive.moe
For example, these. There’s others but they appear to be just edits of the originals.
>>1264143
>>1264149
Considering that the actual artist Moe appears to be inactive for a long time (and very likely didn’t draw these images), I wonder if some kind of curation/protection for the tag is in order? Also in the interest of completeness, I removed the tag from these two images (and added artist needed) before considering maybe this is something that needs discussion.
Alternatively if there is another artist using the tag “moe”, how to differentiate them?

I just learned about the spoken heart tag. It’s a common thing in pony art. I used to tag them floating heart, like actual floating hearts.
Floating: >>3414690
Spoken: >>3410426
No, IMO, those examples are both “floating”. “spoken heart” requires more than just a little line, such as a speech bubble.
and it doesn’t indicate which was the “parent” image on Derpibooru. Is there a way to link alternates to the parent images?
The “parent” image will be the one that does not have the “alternate version” tag. Of course, that does not make a direct, specific connection from an alternate version back to the parent, but that’s just the way it is. Other than that, uploaders could add a link back to the original in the descriptions.

@Toastypk
My request is that someone who has the ability to, adds “scene interpretation” to that image. Or perhaps turns tag-editing back on, since there doesn’t seem to be any reason for that to be off?
