Topic: Grabbing Tags Part 1/?

The bulk update request #1071 is pending approval.

Reason: The more popular tags are worded "body part/object grab", while numerous other tags are phrased "grabbing body part/object". These are just the body part tags with more than a couple images; if this BUR goes through, I'll do the rest of the grabbing tags.

These look good overall, and aliasing the grabbing_* tags to the *_grab tags seems like a good idea (since other grabbing_* tags are aliased to their *_grab counterpart, such as breast_grab). However, there are a few things on here that could probably be edited.

• For the alias grabbing_own_ass -> holding_ass, I think holding_ass should instead be aliased to holding_butt (since butt is used instead of ass for most other tag names). I'm not completely certain about grabbing_own_ass (since there isn't any existing aliases that include a grabbing_own_* tag), but I think aliasing grabbing_own_ass -> holding_butt should probably be fine.

got it. fixed

The tags are separated between singular and plural and this is strictly enforced, and the wikis explain this as well. If anything the plural tags can imply the singular one, but it isn't helpful to collapse them into one tag.

Also raised leg is separated from legs up. This is the reason for the preservation of plural and singular forms for grabbing raised entities.

I see the utility in keeping the singular and plural versions separate for each of these *_grab tags, but overall I don't think there is any need to keep both the grabbing_* tags and the *_grab tags. It might be a good idea to edit the aliases for the grabbing_[plural] tags (alias grabbing_arms -> arms_grab instead, alias grabbing_hands -> hands_grab instead, etc).

Alternatively, the *_grab tags could instead be aliased to their appropriate grabbing_* counterparts (alias arms_grab -> grabbing_arms, alias hands_grab -> grabbing_hands, alias leg_grab -> grabbing_leg, etc). This might be a better idea, since the plurals of grabbing_* sound less clunky when compared to their *_grab counterparts (shoulders_grab and grabbing_shoulders, raised_legs_grab and grabbing_raised_legs, etc).

wouldn't it be better to keep all the grabbing tags formatted one way as to avoid confusion? i'm all for being less clunky but i think it'll only be inconsistent having some tags as *_grab and some as grabbing_*.

I do agree, only one of those tag formats should be utilized. I'm wondering if it would be better to utilize the grabbing_* format as the standard instead of the *_grab format (and alias the *_grab tags to their corresponding grabbing_* tags).

The grabbing_* tags are already aliased to *_grab, so whether or not they should be reversed will depend on why it was done that way in the first place.

i looked through the forum but couldn't find the original topic where the format was decided. in the meantime i'll fix the plural body part problem and the raised_leg/legs_up problem

looking back through the bur i didn't see raised_leg being aliased to legs_up. what am i missing?
