@MaresFillies
Nice, glad that was acceptable. Might do more actually.

@MonochromeWallflower
Awesome, I added the description. Thanks. :)

(first time doing this, hope this is formatted correctly)

@saby
I’m glad to have someone with your level of equine knowledge on the site’s janitorial staff.

@Background Pony #E87B
Fixed.

In the description of sugar, the link to sugar (food) is broken.

@Background Pony #E87B
Fixed.

The tag description for matryoshka fucking has an error, the tag link for vore is the code instead of an actual link.

@Background Pony #E87B
Added those descriptions to the tags. :)

My inner equestrian nitpick wants to grumble about how that latter is more akin to Spanish walk _{and definitely not any sort of trot ahhh the absolute state of modern FEI dressage…}

Tag name: raised hoof Link
Description: Standing still with a hoof raised up off the ground.

If the hoof is up because of an action like walking, pointing, or waving, it’s better to tag the more specific action instead.
Example image:

Tag name: extended trot pose Link
Description: Standing still with one foreleg and one hind leg held straight forward and backward.

Okay made the changes to the descriptions of alternate version and multiple variants. Let me know what you think. :)

Tag name: multiple variants Link
Short Description: Images with at least 4 versions.
Long Description:
When an image has at least 4 versions (three alternate versions plus the original), add this tag to all of them.

Side note on the above: 4 is arbitrary. I chose it on the idea that 4 is the minimum quantity that results from the smallest amount of “combinatorial explosion”, eg. suppose you have a character with or without glasses, and with or without a hat - then you need 4 images to represent all combinations.

The purpose of the tag is to help either find images with a lot of versions (if you like that sort of thing) or to hide them in order to have a less cluttered image list - especially with a complex filter that hides images tagged both multiple variants and alternate version, then you’ll see only the first image of big sets of images, but see all of them when there are only a few.

This compensates for Derpibooru’s lack of a “pool” feature.

Description revision suggestion:

Tag name: alternate version Link
Current detailed description (for reference):
Use this tag instead of edit when it is the original artist who has made alterations to the image. Don’t use this tag even if you used “alternate version” of some image to make an edit.
Revised detailed description:
Use this tag instead of edit when it is the original artist who has made alterations to the image. Don’t use this tag even if you used “alternate version” of some image to make an edit.

One image that’s thought of as the “original” needs to not be tagged as an “alternate version”. The “original” should be the image with the lowest rating and fewest embellishments; if that’s not a clear choice, then it should be the image that was uploaded first.

Added the short description. :)

Short description: Art focused on rural living.

@saby
Ahh I see.

@TheGamerPainter
It’s a less than useful tag created and used by a single BGP who also created other, even less useful tags.

@MaresFillies
By the reply chain, I assume hitch is a background pony.

@TheGamerPainter
What tag needs fixing?

@Background Pony #E87B
Updated duo male, duo female, fixed the typo in duo futa and updated purplesmart.ai tag. Thanks! :)

@MaresFillies
Update the entire tag is 0ed

duo tags are supposed to be for pictures with two characters total. duo and duo male and female make this clear, but duo male and duo female leave them interpretable as “two males/two females out of however many characters”.

Tag description improvements:
duo male
Short description: Only two characters in a picture, both male.
Long description: For when there are only two characters – both male – featured in a picture.

duo female
Short description: Only two characters in a picture, both female.
Long description: For when there are only two characters – both female – featured in a picture.

P.S. there is a typo in duo futa. The long description should read: Two futa, no one else.

Because people keep asking “where/how” in comments:

Tag name: purplesmart.ai Link
Short description: One of the Stable Diffusion models fine-tuned for pony.

Long description: A Stable Diffusion image generation model fine-tuned for pony. See Astralite Heart’s Twitter for Discord link and news, and Astralite Heart’s Hugging Face for models. For information how to use Stable Diffusion, search on the internet.

Since I still occasionally see confusion over whether we should be posting this artist’s work (see the comments below >>2969739 for a recent example), perhaps putting this info in her artist tag description would help reduce confusion.

Tag name: artist:syrupyyy Link
Short description: She’s given her blessing to post her art here. The “do not repost” watermark is intended for sites like Instagram and Pinterest.
Long description: In the artist’s own words: “I’m okay with people reposting my art to Derpibooru, since I more use it as an archive for my pony art than anything. The ‘do not repost’ part of my watermark mostly just applies to places like Instagram and Pintrest.”
