change category 2021 (188538) -> meta

Reason: It's 2021 is certain parts of the world now, so this is a valid year.

EDIT: The bulk update request #590 (forum #303007) has been approved by @Millcore.

Yes, I concur. Some people are actually living 1 year ahead of us.

kinda like the implication that a year's only valid if someone's lived in it

Actually on that note, maybe it'd be worth future-proofing and making the future years meta in advance?

I almost feel like it should be invalid, if anything. If the tags are for pictures made/published in that year, then short of some time-traveler, anyone trying to use it before then would be using it for the wrong purpose and would be invalid. Some current uses of 2021 are actually incorrect, unless the meaning is expanded.

I hope You All will have good fortune in 2021.　 Good luck ∠(｀･ω･´)

There's been a 2021 tag since November when someone decided to get a jump on the upcoming Year of the Ox. So, I put it at the very end of this BUR , where it would also be implicated to the umbrella tag of modern_era.

Addendum ~ I've removed it from my BUR so that Watsit's BUR can safely go through. The tag 2021 shouldn't be held hostage to a BUR that still needs fiddling with to get right.

The modern_era tag is a terrible idea - almost every single post on the site would fall under that.

Yes, and if we search -modern-era, we'd be able get all the relatively few pictures that were made before 1980. Just as anthro would cover a huge and unwieldy chunk of e621 by itself, but is meant to be searched in conjunction with other tags or even be excluded from searches.

Sorry, I decided that my original comment would be better suited to the actual BUR thread, so I removed it.

Your example isn't quite appropriate. anthro has alternatives that are reasonably popular - like feral, taur, etc. Meanwhile, modern-era would cover about 99% of all posts on e621. Maybe, it would be better to create an umbrella tag for artwork that predates the modern era instead?
