Internal is defined as an inset in the larger image containing an, surprise, internal view of the action. x-ray, on the other hand, has no wiki.

My thought is to define it as such: images wherein parts of the characters bodies are depicted as transparent, so as to see what's going on inside.

This is different, because the inside view is on the body itself, rather than a secondary inset, but the bodies in the primary image are opaque.

So, internal

and x-ray

I guess we'll have to introduce medical_x-ray in order to separate it from that.

Honestly it might be easier to just merge the two and have x-ray refer to the actual radiation method

I have looked at the internal wiki times and it is questionable. I just can not understand that you combined 2 different things and then take it in the wiki even still tags like translucent_body to separate the pictures. That which was made there corresponds again to what e621 stands for. E621 is not a site like xbooru, where every user can write his garbage in the tags. E621 has rules and tags that have their meaning and explanation, however exaggerated it may be. Compared to xbooru, where I also gained experience, e621 is a qualitatively good side.

For x-ray and internal, a Wiki is Constructed which, according to what I could translate and see, turns many things upside down. An x-ray is in the images x-ray, only without machine. Trying to separate it with translucent_body makes everything complicated and consumes everything, because a transparent body is something different, especially too general.

I do not understand why a tag, with 500 or up to 1000 images or more, is combined with something that does not match and 1000 other tags, which are available on possibly 1 or 2 images and can easily be integrated into others, are preserved . I've read times that it was because of the allegedly relatively few pictures, the x-ray has, but this is for me a questionable statement. The reason is simple, I often see it here the important tags are missing and on this basis one can not combine with such an argument, a tag. Even some rank bearers often set only part of the basis tags and that was it. Again and again I see it from a Contributor, the antro tag is forgotten.

If users like me look for pictures where sex at x-ray takes place, then he enters: sex x-ray. Now he has to enter: internal translucent_body sex. But he does not just get that, but translucent_body and internal.

When I look for (internal translucent_body = x-ray) I come to 38 hits. Of several hundred pictures I find still 38 and of it are not even what I am looking for. When I search (internal sex) come 200 hits. X-ray was completely eliminated from the e621 search. Even if 10,000 x-ray images are on e621, you will not find them because they do not have the right tags, or because of other reasons.

Why are such combinations of "tags" made at all? Simplification can not be the reason, because I see it again and again that it makes the search for something enormously more difficult.

I have to translate my texts online.

I like how x-ray is currently typed as a character.

Then one would have to rename all X-ray flashes, since these do not correspond to the definition. Or normal pictures with the same, illustrated effect. These remove only the clothes.

It would only be necessary to find an alternative term. You say in the Cuntboy treat also, who is looking for Cuntboy, would also like to find Cuntboy. With x-ray does not work anymore and the new rules are not always kept.

My thought is to define it as such: images wherein parts of the characters bodies are depicted as transparent, so as to see what's going on inside.

Right now the cutaway tag is a confusing mess of what the wiki describes (a second panel showing another view on the action, like a cutaway scene in filming) and the drawing style cutaway, where the artist shows something going on behind an opaque object in front of it so the viewer can see. It doesn't help that lots of images do both at once.

Maybe we should fix things to have:

internal -- any view of the inside of a character or something going on in there, due to POV, transparency, whatever

cutaway -- specifically, drawing something that shouldn't be visible in the scene on the outside to make it visible. Also tag internal if what's being shown is inside a character

cutaway_panel or maybe inset -- what the cutaway wiki describes: a panel showing a second view on the action. Not necessarily internal or cutaway (but most of them are)

translucent_body -- jellyfish and the like, not an art style. No change to this tag.

x_ray -- pictures that look like a real x-ray/fluoroscope/mri was used to get the internal view, not just the use of transparency

What about images where only part of the body is translucent? (but no internal)
(example: post #1631054 )

Just tag with translucent_body ?
(I assume that is the proper tag ... as apparently no one has tagged anything with partially_translucent_body or similar)

EDIT: to clarify, the wiki translucent_body says "A character with a body that you can see through."
which i infer to be saying the whole body is see through.
