Topic: bbno$ tags

The bulk update request #12075 is pending approval.

change category bbnomoney (5) -> copyright
change category bbnomoney_(music) (7) -> contributor
create implication bbnomoney_(music) (7) -> bbnomoney (5)
create implication bbnomoney_(character) (2) -> bbnomoney (5)
create implication two_(bbnomoney_song) (4) -> bbnomoney_(music) (7)
create implication swiper_no_swiping_(song) (1) -> bbnomoney_(music) (7)
create implication swiper_no_swiping_(song) (1) -> yung_gravy_(music) (1)

Reason: Currently there are three tags for BBNO$, one for the persona, one for the copyright, and one as an artist tag.
This BUR will handle:

• Changing from an artist tag to a contributor tag
• Using the _(music) suffix for the contributor tag
• Using the 'raw' tag as the copyright tag, due to there also being character tags.
• Copyright implications
• Song implications

"music" isn't a valid contributor type. Only modelers and VAs should be tagged for contributor (I really think the contributor category needs to be locked down, given how readily people can drop anything they want into it regardless of what's allowed, requiring BURs and tagger/moderator time to fix; I've noticed a number of (sound) entries as well that I've been thinking need a BUR to clear away).

If bbnomoney is an artist/person, they shouldn't be given a copyright tag.

I had at one point considered restricting the allowed prefixes and also requiring prefixes, but hardcoding things like this is bad style
I am doubtful hard restrictions will ever be added considering I've heard from some staff that they don't mind that much about the category getting misused because it can be useful in certain circumstances
I'm definitely not going on another cleaning contributor tags spree again because I don't want another dozen dmails from pissed off people for actions that won't be fully backed up by staff

For some stats on our current contributor tags:
- 1735 total
- 106 unsuffixed
- 773 _(modeler)
- 769 _(va)
- 19 _(editor)
- 16 _(sound)
- 11 _(contributor)
- 10 _(sfx)
- 7 _(colorist)
- 5 _(modeller)
- 3 _(music)
- 3 _(audio)
- 3 _(vo)
- 2 _(rigger)
- 2 _(writer)
- 1 _(modler)
- 1 _(animator)
- 1 _(color)
- 1 _(bgm)
- 1 _(posters)
- 1 _(coloring)

Based on today's export with this code

So nearly 90% of the tags in the category are correct, its abuse isn't that high, but I'd bet that's because there are people actively cleaning it up
