The whole point is to reduce dialogue-based tagging as much as possible due to it violating TWYS.
In most cases, the implied_* tags are subjective to the user tagging the post.

See topic #60538 for discussion.

In brief, implied_* tags are not only subjective, they are overly broad, because something can be "implied" by many different things. It is better to tag based on the specific thing that implies the thing, because that's more objective and provides better granularity for searches. Thus why I've listed alternatives in the proposed wiki descriptions.

The bulk update request #12713 is active.

change category implied_bondage (9) -> invalid

Reason:

"Implied" tags are too vague to be useful. Try one of these instead:

If you tagged this because the character is in a common bondage position (e.g. hands_behind_back) but no bonds are visible, then only tag the position and do not tag bondage, per Tag What You See.

should offscreen_fire would work?

I don't think that's necessary. In most of the pictures the fire isn't even really "offscreen", there's embers and stuff.

A note for whoever ends up writing the wiki pages: it ought to be mentioned that, very often, these "implied" tags can safely be tagged as the thing itself. Most of implied_oral, for example, appears to just be plain oral or after_oral. You don't need to directly see mouth-to-genital contact to tag oral - a face shoved in a crotch is perfectly acceptable. Generally, evidence of a thing being or happening within a post is enough to tag said thing even if not seen directly, with a few exceptions.

firelight is a valid tag. This can be used when the light from a fire is visible but not the fire itself.
