Topic: Mythology tag category

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Do the mythology related tags have to be copyright tags? Previously if I for example wanted to look at dragons, but did not want to see fandom content mixed in, I could look up dragon copytags:0. Few false positives yeah, but it would save me from having to try manually exclude every fandom that kept clogging up results with what I did not want to see. Since there is multiple mythology tags for several geographical locations, copytags:1 does not work either. Currently there is really not even remotely sensible way to exclude fandom content from art of mythological critters. Only way I could think of to get around this would be changing the tag type of mythology tags.

I do recognize that this is little bit of a niche issue because normal well adjusted people are not out there playing 4D chess with the search box in this way, and I also do understand the choice of the tag category, but I do feel like mythology tags being categorized as copyright tags has quite negative impact to what can be done with the search feature.

I swear this topic has come up several times but I can't seem to find the threads. But yeah that's has complained about a bit.

One problem with copytags:0 is that with things like holiday tags such as christmas, (arguably tags for series like frisky ferals), memes, patreon, twitter, and the like, using it to filter stuff is kinda losing effectiveness, with mythology being in copyright just sealing its fate.

Nah that's fine, the forum is filled with those who care about such things
