Topic: Tag Alias: hanging -> hanging_(ambiguous)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Aliasing hanging → hanging_(ambiguous)
Link to alias

Reason:

As far as I can tell, hanging (and hanging by tail) currently mix four distinct things, so here's a proposal for redistributing them:

  • Character is held up by another character: lifted or cradling
  • Character is bound somehow and up in the air: suspended
  • Character is being hung by their neck: hanged (oddly enough, these is no clear undifferentiated tag for this: the e621 crew does not like snuffy fetishes XD)
  • Character is holding themselves in the air by the strength of their own body: dangling (repurposed, since it's hardly better defined than hanging)

Alternatively keep dangling for stuff like post #281210, but then given the tendency of hanging to collect these different meanings, something else will be needed for meaning #4, so figuring a different tag for the vore version instead may be better.

you mean disambiguation or?

I have NO idea what you're even asking, I'm afraid.

It does look like an another good candidate for disambiguation. And yeah, the standard is *_(disambiguation) instead of ambiguous. Having them all under the same search makes them easier to clean up.

He means you meant to put hanging_(disambiguation) as the second tag. Disambiguation is the standard for this kind of stuff.

OH. Thanks. Yes. I rarely look at those, so... My bad. (I should know better, though. I use Wikipedia enough dammit!)

You forgot the fifth one: Wanted a high-five, but someone else would not reciprocate (left_hanging)
