| |
| − | Can be tagged as such if the character has some of these element:
| |
| − | "wings" "horn" "pointy ears"
| |
| − | It's the mix of these element that make a character devil. Devilish smiling is not enough.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Doll===
| |
| − | You must be able to see their joints/doll parts. Dolls who are so within a serious should not have this tag unless you can tell they are dolls in the image.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Elf===
| |
| − | What is an elf? except having "pointy ears"? (I agree. I don't see why we need both "elf" and "pointy ears". People only use "elf" for elves in context anyway.) ( TO BE MERGED WITH "pointy ears" ) (Yatchen approves of that) ( MERGED )
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Fan===
| |
| − | Both for hand held fans and electronic fans.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Fang===
| |
| − | For those pointy little teeth. | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Family===
| |
| − | For use when there is a group of people that make a family. (Yatchen doesn't think we need this tag) TO BE WORKED ON ( TO BE DELETED ( because it attracts the attention of those who doesn't want to delete any tag :D ) )
| |
| − | | |
| − | First, is twin a child tag of family? Then this tag is at the same time, doesn't rely and rely to the source. I just realized but... almost all Umineko pic should be tagged as such, but it's not easy to see how by the image. THere are case in which it's obvious, such as in Clannad. The problem is not what is tagged but how it's tagged. Sibling as per tag description is enough. However Couple != Family. They are complementary tag. So I suggest to to go of course, by what is depicted on the image, and maybe by character last name.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On a second opinion, I think it should only be visible..., not related to character last name.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I just don't see the point of the tag itself. -Yatchen
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think it's more for family scene.... ( in fact, I reject the idea of twin being a child tag ), for instance parents holding their baby, something like that.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I see. I guess we need a lot of retagging, huh? I'd personally just trash it, but that's just me. -Yatchen
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'd personally say that it should be used in the case of an obvious family connection. I.e., parent(s) and child(ren), obviously related siblings, etc. I'm on the fence as to whether or not this one should be kept... -Fuwari
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hmmm, whenever I use the tag "family" is when its related to the source, so I rarely use this tag. So I don't really see the point of this tag either, I believe the "group" tag could work just as well. - Yuki2
| |
| − | | |
| − | Considering the imput, people are leaning toward the deletion of this tag - Merun
| |
| − | | |
| − | TO BE REALLY DELETED - Merun
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Flower===
| |
| − | To be applied for whole flowers or flower petals that are not sakura. (VERIFY) ( Shouldn't the sakura tag be a child of Flower then? ) (Yatchen thinks so.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Freckles===
| |
| − | Natural point on the face. Not to be confused with blush line. ( Merun think that this tag should be deleted ) (Yatchen thinks it's too rarely used and agrees) (Fuwari will go ahead and disagree; it's unique enough to merit a tag, even if the vast majority of anime characters do not have freckles) ( Then Fuu-chan can enforce it because it's quite missused :p ) (see Tanline for long comment )
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Gaming===
| |
| − | Can be applied both when a person is playing a game or there is a game/game controller in the image.

| |
| − | For three or more people.
| |
| | | | |

| | | | |
| − | ===Happy=== | + | ===Miko=== |

| + | For shrine maidens or shrine maiden outfits. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Hime=== | + | ===Mimi=== |

| | | | |
| − | ===Horns=== | + | ===Mizugi=== |
| − | Can also work for only one horn. May be applied for deer type antlers.

| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Mahou Shoujo===
| |
| − | For girls with magic girl appearance. Frilly clothing, wands, etc. Not for someone casting serious magic.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Maid===
| |
| − | A servant, with a apron covering also the chest, contrary to the waitress. ( TO BE VERIFIED ) ( Merun approves )
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Manga===
| |
| − | For multiple paneled manga. (Needs to be verified where we should put things like 10komas) ( I guess it can either fall under this or a new tag to be determined ) ( Considering the parent/child tag relation, 5+ koma fall under the manga tag ) (Sounds fine to Yatchen then)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Monochrome===
| |
| − | For images composed of various shades of only one color. Should not be added with the "manga" tag. ( TO BE VERIFIED: manga can be colored ) (I always disliked that stupid manga-monochrome rule...I don't see why we have it.) ( Monochrome and Manga are NOT EXCLUSIVE ; I don't even know where this rule came from) (Then let's abolish it, shall we? :P) ( APPROVED )
| |
| | | | |

| − | ===Seifuku===
| |
| − | Seifuku is a school uniform. It includes already the eventual "skirt" and "ribbon" tag if they are part of it. However, "jacket", "hat", and "tie" are not included and should be added when seen. If a seifuku is also a dress, both the "seifuku" and "dress" tags may be added. ( TO BE VERIFIED ) (Jacket is not related to seifuku...) ( I guess it's a problem of interpretation of other people ) (Well, change their interpretation.) ( Merun approves current guideline ) (Yatchen does as well)
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | A kimono cut to the knee or elbow.

| | | | |

| |
| | | | |
| | ===Randoseru=== | | ===Randoseru=== |
| − | School backpack used for primary school. (Merun think this tag should be deleted)(It's a very specific type of school bag but is quite common in anime images. It will stay.)( The name/word is not common; At the very least, it needs an alias though it's not easy to come up with one "school bag (elementary school)" "elementary school backpack" ) ("child's backpack"? There aren't really a lot of aliases that anyone would try typing in at random for this tag. -Yatchen)( well, at least one with "school bag(child backpack)" is needed since people usually use "school bag", so they would usually go first by "school bag" ) (I guess I just don't like the tags with parenthesis in them. It looks bulky and whatnot.) | + | School backpack with a curved top used for primary/elementary school. Usually red. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Scenic=== | + | ===Sakura=== |
| − | Image must be focused on the background rather than the girl. A majority of the image should be something other than the girl.

| − | Not to be confused with "happy". Smile is usually closed mouth, having this shape :). Teeth can be visible.
| + | A school/sailor uniform. Does not need [[skirt]] or [[ribbon]] tag if they are part of it. However, [[jacket]], [[hat]], and [[tie]] should be added when seen. If a [[seifuku]] is also a [[dress]], both tags may be added. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Stars=== | + | ===Sarashi=== |
| − | Shining dot in the sky at night. Include also stars shaped object. ( TO BE VERIFIED ) (Yes, star shaped objects should be fine. More applicable than sky stars, really.)(APPROVED)
| + | Chest Bandages. |
| − | | |
| − | ===Tanline===
| |
| − | Yes it exist. ( Considering it's less use than freckles, unknown, I think it should be deleted ) (Fuwari: Again, I'm not convinced a tag should be deleted just because it's not used often.) (The problem would be then to make it existence known if kept )(Anony: It should be kept. Just because a tag is seldom used does not mean it should be removed.)
| |
| − | ( Merun: My main gripe with this tag and freckles is not the fact is not used too often, but mainly easily forgotten which is in fact, related. Also, while E-shuushuu caters to English speaker, it's not native English, and these word are quite, unknown (I needed a dictionary for Freckles ). I agree that adding these tag add effectiveness to these two. So, if kept, they need more exposure other than casual use on images. This page, when finished needs some good exposure, and also, I was thinking of adding some tag description to the top of the website where other advice are being displayed, otherwise, it's counter productive. ) (Adding it to the top might be a good idea...I don't think this tag should be deleted, regardless of its use. It does serve an effective purpose. Freckles just seems random. -Yatchen) (Fuwari: Er... both tanline and freckles are native English. That aside, I don't think these two are easily forgotten; just more that they're not often applicable in anime images and thus ''seem'' easily forgotten. If it's in the image, I'm confident the average user will naturally add them.) ( By native English, I meant that people leaving in non english speaking country have an harder time for these because it's not really something you learn in the educational system ) (Neither is most anything we talk about on the internet. -Yatchen)

| | | | |
| − | ===Vampire=== | + | ===^_^=== |
| − | For girls with vampire traits (pale skin, fangs, wings, etc.) showing signs of bloodlust, drinking blood, etc. Vampires who are so within a series should not have this tag unless you can tell they are vampires in the image.
