Hi I'm new here, I decided to make a new tag equine_legs because I find them extremely sexy for some reason. You could argue that the tag satyr might apply but it doesn't, a anthro MLP character is not considered a satyr but have equine_legs for example.

Did I do a good job? How much stuff do I need to tag myself before others might start picking it up? Did I do the wiki entry properly or can it be improved?

Thanks.

You should've asked first. I suggest to not start tagging and wait for some admin approval because if they reject this idea there will be a lot of work untagging.

so are we going to be slapping this on every single equine image on the site? sounds like another bloat tag

what's different from this and hooves

bad idea

We already have a tag for that. It's hooves, as stated above.

dude... contact an admin or mutilpe admins before doing this ~,=,~

Ok guys I'm sorry I didn't know you needed approval to make new tags or anything. Wont happen again.

Well I admit it probably needs a better name(any ideas?) the difference is every pony has hooves whereas equine_legs refers to anthro's with equine-like legs and not to ponies who obviously have the.

would NOT apply to: https://e621.net/post/show/202071 https://e621.net/post/show/31278
WOULD apply to: https://e621.net/post/show/488173 https://e621.net/post/show/382283

So what else could this tag be to better represent that?
hooved_anthro?

Or we can just remove it if I caused any kind of trouble. Although I've see plenty of tags with a handful of entries it seems one person made on a whim without asking anyone and nobody complains about them?

Oh you're talking more about the feet...
I thought you were talking about those knobby-ass knees(ankles?) that horses have.

Because they're hard to find, and when they're found be the admins, they're usually removed.

The main purpose of tagging is to make sure pictures are sorted in efficient, easy to search manners. Generally, over-specific tags are usually just nuked.

If you want a database of equine legs, you can make a set.

More-so the area below the knee. I mean, can you tell if this one has a hoof or toes? https://e621.net/post/show/482306

Is this any more specific then something like claws sharp_claws big_claws and I'm sure theres a dozen other tags with _claws in them?

And they do take a lot of time to fix. Sometimes it's also hard to figure out if the new tag is meant to be an artist or character tag...

I try to fix typos and dupe tags whenever possible, but I already have so much on my platter that rarely have time for that. It's likely the same for admins and taggers in general.

Hey, claws are sexy as hell.

The point is that it's not right to just make the tag, then come post in the forums a "Hey guys, I made a tag up." thread.
The correct thing to do is make the thread so we can discuss it, then if it's a good tag as decided by the people here we start using it.

hooved_anthro?

Use unguligrade and anthro.

Except you forget that unguligrade aliases to hooves, so that's no good.

Never said they weren't, just randomly picked as an example.

Yeah I got that now, and now you can argue to keep or delete it if you like. I won't add it to anything else for now. Thought I'm gonna try to come up with better words to use for it.

If I may argue to keep it I believe its fine there's many descriptive tags; animal_ears and its many subsidiaries cat_ears dog_ears etc.

Perhaps we can repurpose the tag as it is labeled as "Defunct"? Though I have no idea what the logistics of doing that would be.

Does unguligrade_anthro work?

Meek said:

I'd say no.

You can get that by searching unguligrade anthro. We don't need tags for this in the same way that we don't need tag for avian_anthro, bovine_anthro and lupine_anthro.

The claw tag can apply to various species. Tons of animals have sharp claws, and lots have big claws. So, yes. This is much more specific. Rather than tagging a trait universally found in the animal kingdom, it's one body part of one genus. We don't tag avian_arms, lupine_torso, and ursine_nose, so equine_legs is a no-go.

Meek said:

Those aren't descriptive tags.
Those are direct English translations of the various kemonomimi-tags, such as usagimimi and nekomimi. Humans and humanoids with animal ears.

Some users insisted on translating the tags, instead of using the better-known foreign language terms. Consequently, those get mistagged constantly.

Perhaps.
I remember RD being for this, the last time this came up.

And the current alias just isn't working well, because unguligrade can be tagged when the hooves aren't in the image. So now we have tons of images tagged with hooves, when the hooves aren't actually visible. ...sigh.

Well it would apply to a lot of different species not just equines, though those probably make up the majority.

You've got deer https://e621.net/post/show/490709/
bovine https://e621.net/post/show/420472/
goat https://e621.net/post/show/431834/
Hell, even zebras https://e621.net/post/show/492529/

Plenty more.

Yep. And there's satyrs and plenty of others.
I'd say that Unguligrade is as valid as a tag as plantigrade and digitigrade. So I'm not sure why it's aliased away, while the other two aren't.

Wait, your proposed tag was equine_legs. That type of leg is just an ungulate leg. The tag also doesn't make any sense, because it would only apply to anthros.

As I previously said, you can get that with equine anthro hooves, caprine anthro hooves, etc. The tag is wholly unnecessary.

+1 for de-aliasing Unguligrade. The hooves tags are a mess, and because donkey, horse, mule, etc. imply unguligrade, there's no way to remove hooves from pictures like this.

I'm just going to wholeheartedly second this.

Glad to be of help :3
