I have several questions regarding the updated tag. Right now there are 17 posts with this tag, the earliest (surviving) instance of this tag was added 14 years ago, and the latest use was a month ago on a video with "updated audio." The single sentence wiki says "Images or animations that were given significant improvements or modifications from a previous version by the original artist." There is also the update tag which has no wiki, but looks like is being used the same way. The redraw tag exists, is more popular, and is a meta tag. However redraw includes other forms of redrawing, such as recreating memes with different characters, not just the artist's own self-updates. So updated is basically "redraw but more specific"

My questions are:

Do we even need this tag? I doubt people are searching for updated images or care that they're looking at a newer version of an old picture that may or may not still exist somewhere online.

Shouldn't this be in the meta category? Because it concerns the post itself and not the contents of said post.

Should we improve the way this tag is used? For example, requiring an earlier version be a parent or child post? Should this tag stick around if the older version was deleted?

Would a name like "improved_version" be more appropriate for this tag?

The bulk update request #7994 is active.

change category updated (0) -> invalid

Reason: Seems like the simplest solution.

Fair enough, but what about the update tag? It has the same problem, and one artist is using it to advertise updates to a fan H-game (you know the one).

Edit: Looks like Kemonophonic went and removed all 33 update tags.
