I think you might reduce instances of mistagging by moving around and labelling a few lines of the upload page. Specifically, to someone not familiar with the site, the current placement of the [Male/Male] [Male/Female] etc buttons is misleading.

I suggest the following order starting at the Characters section:

Characters
[Gender buttons]
[Solo/Duo/Group buttons] (Maybe put this above the Gender buttons?)
[Character name text box]

Body Types and Species
[Anthro/Feral buttons]
[species text box]

Intimate Interactions
[Male/Male Male/Female etc buttons]

Contentious Content
- rest of page unchanged -

There definitely needs to be some improvements made to the uploader, it's not the most intuitive.

The "intimate interactions" need a title explaining what they're for, so many people don't use them properly and the lack of description is surely not helping. I've seen many people use intersex/female on a solo image to describe a female bodied intersex character (gynomorph or herm). It would make a lot of sense if this section was made a lot smarter.

• It only needs to show if the duo, trio or group buttons are selected. If there's not two or more characters, none of these tags are applicable.
• It should populate the buttons using the selected options on the genders, there's no need offering "male/female" as an option if only the female gender was selected.
• An example, if male and female were selected, the suggestions should only be male/male, male/female and female/female.
• Another plus side to this would be that all the relation tags for intersex genders could also be suggested without filling the page with an absurd amount of buttons. Just having the option of intersex/male isn't really descriptive enough and just requires people to add the more specific tag themselves.

I have no objections to any of the above, but I will observe that sounds like a lot of effort to implement, and may have problems with edge cases. What I propose above is (I suspect) fairly low-effort to implement, and shouldn't break anything or have any edge cases that cause problems.

TBH I don't really care about edge cases, the default uploader is there to hold the hands of idiots who have a 0% chance of correctly tagging those edge cases under any circumstances. Better to optimise its accuracy for the majority of cases than to cause even more incorrect tags than the number of edge cases you fix. Any serious user should eventually aim to transition to the real uploader anyway.

Hmm, a bit of highlighting could be the perfect application of CSS? Not a HTML expert so not sure.
