Maybe something that says that it is not an edit by any member of the fandom. Because technically, any image you see is edited to some degree by someone. In the case of this tag, the edit was by someone in an official capacity, either:
  1. Hasbro
  2. DHX
  3. Top Draw or another animation studio contracted by Hasbro
  4. IDW or another in-print publisher of a comic or chapter book
  5. An officially-licensed retailer selling a Hasbro product
  6. Web search results curated by a search engine company
In other words, “not an edit” means that what you see in the image was delivered directly to consumers and fans as depicted, with no changes being made after its release to the public.
Maybe something shorter than that.

That doesn’t seem to be how people are using the tag. Also, the definition you propose seems like the tag would then apply to any unedited screencap, any official image… Defined, but uselessly broad.
I think people are using the tag in the sense of “it’s hard to believe something about the content of this picture was genuine, not altered”; an ill-defined mishmash of out of context, you know for kids, typos, software errors, and other weird stuff.
100% subjective, but so are a lot of tags.

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. I thought maybe an official description along those lines could be added to the tag. Nothing lengthy, of course.
