Issue:
I recently noticed bluesky link, which drew attention of @Ciaran, who pointed out abundance of * link tags like patreon link, twitter link and co. They duplicate information from links section and eventually will be out-of-sync with it. Doing tag consistency checks on this is no fun at all and does not provide any meaningful information.
My proposed solution:
  1. Delete most(if not all) of these tags.
  2. (optional) At query time expand deleted tags into source_url: queries.

Notoriously Divine Tagger - Consistently uploads images above and beyond the minimum tag requirements. And/or additionally, bringing over the original description from the source if the image has one. Does NOT apply to the uploader adding several to a dozen tags after originally uploading with minimum to bare tagging.

Lore-wise, an alicorn is a combination of earth pony, pegasus, and unicorn, each of which has its own unique magical abilities. “Winged unicorn” (aka “pegacorn”) I’ve always understood to mean a pony that has the pegasus and unicorn parts but not earth pony - I want to say I’ve seen some OCs that were meant to be this. They’re distinct from alicorns but may look visually identical more often than not.

@Algebroot Neogears
Several of the posts tagged “winged unicorn” look just like whoever did the tagging didn’t know about the tag “alicorn” (ie. it’s Celestia or Luna) and ironically several of them appear to be wingless anthros (although without the tag “wingless anthro”)
What even is a pegacorn? Is this some kind of “You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of master” situation where an alicorn is extra-special?

Should then watch her balloons lift her up to the sky be specific to just Pinkie Pie? I know it’s from her intro line in the G3 OP and the tag implies pinkie pie, but there are also a lot of images of, say, Scootaloo flying with balloons.

I miss the show so much
Well now I’m curious what they said :P
You don’t want to know. Trust me.
I wouldn’t attribute any other characteristic to the background - ie. I wouldn’t call that a “patterned background” - because the effect covers the entire image as an overall overlay, not limited to the background. I would compare how to treat it via tags as similar to artistically-chosen noise/film grain, or scanlines/CRT imitation, and so forth.
That’s a good point, actually. Perhaps adversarial noise should be tagged as “patterned foreground”, or “patterned overlay”?
I recall that they were once quite strict about being numerically unvarying, but that has relaxed over time to allow things like JPEG or other image compression, or natural variation in tradition art due to paper texture or uneven lighting of photographed art, when it’s clear that the artistic intention of the design is to have a solid unvarying color.
I usually leave these tagged “white background”, because it’s just like you said it, the paper is white, it’s just the lighting and conditions can make it look uneven and not-simple. But sometimes I just don’t know, when there’s a slightly visible paper or fabric-like pattern on the image. Sometimes I remove the simple background tag, sometimes not.
(Tangentially related, I wish people would stop slapping “simple background” to everything they upload, regardless of what the background is. It’s like they’re not actually reading what it says on the tag.)

Deletion reason: Rule # you just had to, didn’t you?
Well now I’m curious what they said :P
Should light blue background imply blue background? I think it should.
I don’t. I think colors used in tagging should each stand separately in order to be useful, to not encourage creation of new tags for tiny variations, to reduce cases of indecision (eg. is it yellow-orange or is it amber?), and to not lead to a huge blob of semi-redundant tags in posts’ tag lists. I’m not even 100% sure whether “light blue” should be used at all - please join in my thread discussing usage of colors in tags.
If an image is covered by adversarial noise, such as >>3538077, does “simple background” still apply if the background is single solid color under the noise? This isn’t the only time I’ve removed “simple background” from an image covered by adversarial noise, but I’ve started to wonder if I’m too strict. I’ve also added “patterned background” a few times, but I’m not sure if that is correct either.
Huh. OK, I have some thoughts and questions, here.
I wouldn’t attribute any other characteristic to the background - ie. I wouldn’t call that a “patterned background” - because the effect covers the entire image as an overall overlay, not limited to the background. I would compare how to treat it via tags as similar to artistically-chosen noise/film grain, or scanlines/CRT imitation, and so forth.
Whether or not to still call it a “simple background” - I’m not certain what the current restrictions on that are. I recall that they were once quite strict about being numerically unvarying, but that has relaxed over time to allow things like JPEG or other image compression, or natural variation in tradition art due to paper texture or uneven lighting of photographed art, when it’s clear that the artistic intention of the design is to have a solid unvarying color.
By the way, is that actually “adversarial noise”, and not an unusual artistic choice, nor a general-purpose non-AI-targeted anti-reproduction “obtrusive watermark”?

@LightningBolt
(and others)
I have a request to bulk change a shipping tag, and wanted to verify that I’m doing this right before proceeding.
Request: ship:pinkieplay -> ship:pinkieace
Requesting user is the OC creator. Via a search for pinkie pie,oc:*ace*,shipping,-ship:pinkieplay, the tag does not appear to conflict with any existing ships (although I think I found tags that should have the image that are without it - note to self to fix that as a part of this).
I understand that creating the new alias does require manually moving the existing aliases, documentation, and implications from the existing tag.
Is there any reason not to make the new alias?
Hearing no objections, alias made.

@JP
Wow. Adversarial noise has never bothered me, but I almost threw up as soon as that image opened for me.
Yeah - very agree that is not simple background. That is WAY not simple background. Effectively the artist laid a bump map across their background making it psychedelic paisley puke.
Patterned background makes more sense, since it’s literally leaping off the screen reaching for me like some sort of Cthulhu-level nightmare monster.
I’m going to see that in my dreams now >_<
