Topic: Tag alias: half-naked -> half_naked

The tag alias #73662 half-naked -> half_naked is pending approval.

Reason: Consistency (noticed this while doing the other one)

I'm not sure what half_naked is supposed to be used for in the first place. Maybe both of these ought to be aliased somewhere else.

maybe category invalid

partially_clothed and mostly_nude already exist, and honestly are confusingly similar, and neither really indicate how much clothing there can still be.

Apparently, it's supposed to be a disambiguation page of sorts. Perhaps we ought to formalize it as one with a _(disambiguation) so that people know it's supposed to be cleaned up.

Differentiating between a character that is just wearing a scarf for example that does not cover anything versus a character wearing fullbody clothing versus a character wearing fullbody clothing that however is unbuttoned(not worn in its secured/proper/full state) for example exposing the chest or crotch.

Those I do think are valid differences to tag for, however the tags intended to cover these do have the worst possible naming that is literally akin to the glass-half-full vs glass-half-empty state, without reading the wiki they mean the same thing.

I feel like it might be wise to repurpose partially_clothed for all states of partial undress rather than the current highly specific definition and move the current definition to a better named tag. A quick browse through that tag shows that it's already severely misused.

I completely agree

The bulk update request #9678 is pending approval.

change category half_naked (2859) -> invalid

Reason: Might as well as get the ball rolling, I guess. The half_naked wiki flat-out states that we're not supposed to use it in favor of other tags. Thus, it's an invalid tag and should be properly categorized.

The bulk update request #12080 is pending approval.

create alias half_clothed (617) -> clothed (1362143)

Reason: Turns out we have the complementary tag as well, which should also be removed. This alias is consistent with the existing alias for half_dressed.

I have no memory of upvoting this; however, upon review of the discussion, I'm withdrawing my upvote in favor of aliasing both half_naked and half_clothed to partially_clothed.

partially clothed is when the character is wearing clothing that is partially removed/pulled aside. half-clothed/nude could mean a wide range of things: shirtless, topless, bottomless, partially_clothed, etc

I heard there was an ongoing effort to redefine it but nothings happened so far

Honestly not liking how half-dressed screws with the autocomplete but at least it's not as egregious as hybrid.
