So how would you tag the following:
post #706851 post #655006 post #725554 post #610996
post #608550 post #689286 post #598777

I think you got the following tags to choose from (unless I've missed something):

• multiple_images
• multiple_positions
• multiple_poses
• sequence

I felt the wiki didn't quite manage to tell me what to tag (and only skimmed through forum #144975)

The wikis are pretty clear TBH, and use bold to emphasize key differences. To be blunt, reread. Take your time.

For example, none of these posts count as multiple_positions, nor multiple_images. Nor do any of them contain decisive evidence for sequence.
There is also a related tag that is crossreferenced on the above page and is a tag that might be needed but is not on your list.

Ah, I knew I had missed something; multiple_scenes, but it states "... show a progression of events by the same character(s) over time" and that doesn't really match any of those images. There is nothing apparent that any time at all has passed in most of these kind of pictures. They are just the same character in the same pose with different clothes.

On second though maybe I shouldn't have listed those tags at all. I wasn't really asking for their usage, which is as you say fairly well defined in the wiki, but what tag(s) to actually use in the posts mentioned.

I believe the second (and possibly third) of these actually goes in model sheet. Multiple_versions is probably a good, intuitive choice for the others since we would tag "Alternate_version" if they were separate images (i.e. alternate_version_available).

post #689286 could be multiple_scenes (but the evidence is not decisive, admittedly.)

I think which three posts have multiple_poses is fairly self-evident, though the Komachi one is subtle.

For the other images, there is no decisive evidence (ie. *none* of these tags are warranted IMO, even though I see some of these tags are already applied.). I think we have a tag that means something like 'variant' or 'variants', which is what suits most of them, but I can't find it right now.

Yep, multiple_versions is the correct tag.....and it seems I forgot all about it when I did the wikis for these tags. ^_^' I'll update it now.

Edit: Done. Now the problem is that multiple_versions is massively undertagged.

Now we're getting somewhere :)

Ah, didn't even consider that model_sheet could be used here, good idea. Also multiple_versions seems interesting and in combination with multiple_poses and multiple_scenes I think I got these posts sorted out.

Great, I added the few I found when working on clothing in nude. Though I got one more tag for you: version_comparison, for when comparing artwork of the same or different artists? Good? Bad?

Also, speaking of alternate_version and alternate_version_available I feel that they are a bit ambiguous: Is there an alternate version available here?; Is it at the source? (Mainly due to the fact we already got a parent/child system for post alternates on e6.) I'm not sure if there's really that much of a point in having an alternate_version tag since we have isparent: and ischild: metatags. alternate_version_at_the_source would be useful though.

version_comparison sounds quite good. From looking at it's posts it seems to be used for when artists show their source material along with their work, which is a good reason to have it seperate from multiple_versions which is the same thing drawn in different ways by the same artist. So yeah, I'd be up for that.

I agree that our parent/child system makes the alternate_version tag redundant for posts which are all on this site. I think we could do without it.

I do like alternate_version_at_the_source as there are versions of posts which cannot be posted here for various reasons. This tag will allow users to know of these versions if they want to see them and it also helps artists get more users visiting their main pages. I like it.
