Topic: Contradiction between "painting" tag usage and description

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

The wiki description for painting states it refers to the noun form, i.e. an artwork placed in a picture frame. However, the tag contains many images that depict only the act of painting, as well as a lot of body paint. This should probably be re-examined.

There is a painting_(object) tag that could be used to section off the noun usage, but it's underused at the moment.

With how it's already a quarter the size of the painting tag, it might be better to have it be used for the noun rather than painting, since everyone already has preconceived notions about what it's for (probably because both were showing in the autocomplete)
