Please stop bringing up the “no fun allowed” argument.
 
Nobody is trying to stop people from having fun, stop thinking that people are against fun, it’s just a tag and no one’s life depends in it, and the “no fun allowed” argument isn’t even an argument. It’s a complaint without any basis. If this was an actual court and office, people would’ve just ignored it.
 
It’s a tag, for God’s sake. We’re not even removing it!

i would rather have the puns since it was used longer than busty “character name” tags like Apple Bloomed instead of Busty Apple Bloom

Alright we are seriously spinning our wheels talking about this topic, and frankly enough is enough. Here’s a few things to remember:  
  • This is literally a cosmetic change. We’re not removing tags, or tag functionality. Everything from searches to filters to watchlists will work all the same. The only difference to the lives of everyone involved is you’ll see “busty princess luna” instead of “princess balloona” in the tag box.
  • The funny “pun” tags will still pop up on the /tags page of every single page, so the puns aren’t even being lost in the first place.
  • 15 days is about 14 days and 23 hours too long to debate changing the name of a tag.
 
So I’m going to go ahead and be the guy and do this thing in about a day or so (I can’t be arsed to do it right now because laziness), so we can lock this monster back in the closet where it belongs.

And i forgot to mention that this won’t solve the other associated problems, such as the tags being used too subjectively (“busty x” is just as subjective as the tags that are being used now)

We’ve gotten 15 days worth of input from this thread, but it’s just not going anywhere. Since the change is cosmetic and can be reversed very easily if need be, I want to implement it and see what actually happens.

My first thought would be to judge by relation to head size, but I also realize that busty drawings with irregularly large heads are also a thing that’s drawn…

-It’s not supposed to be a cosmetic change, I’ve been told that it’s ‘more convenient’. (Wow, they’re all under b now…)
 
-This is exactly the point I was repeating the whole time. I don’t search for the tags, I just happen to find them under images I’m looking up for other reasons.
 
-I guess the thread got too long because not everyone agreed with the change.
 
 
@HJSDGCE  
But it’s about the site’s ways to handle these things. And changing the alias to the standard form might just be a decision that’s applied to other cases as well.

What if we organize the Tags by their main aliases, so that “raritits” for exemple would be organized in the list as if it where “busty rarity”, and we could still read the pun on the tag if the uploader used it.
 
or have pun appear in the tag on the image only, so you search for busty rarity but the tag displays “busty rarity (raritits)”

It’s still not the worst thing ever that ever happens on site. A tag change isn’t going to ruin the site for people.
 
Mods asked us to give our opinion and we did. That’s it. We don’t have to argue or counter other people’s opinions. This isn’t a debate.
 
We’re lucky that the mods even asked us. Sites like Google and Facebook change on a whim and see how people react. They could’ve gone through that route!

Just to be clear: We are not yet setting this alias. As mentioned before, I’d like to see more suggestions about what we can further do to solve this problem, since a cosmetic change is not an adequate solution.

Posting this now because i was asleep when all of that discussion before TGM’s post happenedfull
 
1 - Please clarify.  
2 - No. my opinion is already that these tags should be kept, and such a system would solve our problems of fiding such tags.  
3 - None.

I’ve been thinking about other solutions as well, but most approaches would probably make things just much more complicated.
 
Maybe a tag wiki (similar to tags having descriptions) where you could search not just for tags, but also see related tags and search for specific words in their description. (Like I’d be able to search for ‘breasts’ and could find the busty*/pun tags.)  
Or just a function where you could maybe have another search field on the ‘tags’ page which searches tag descriptions instead of tags themselves.

>I’ve been looking at the suggestions for how to make these tags more convenient…
 
Shouldn’t this be it’s own thread? Proposing something to categorize tags to make search easier would affect the focus of this thread, but also greatly widens its scope… I mean no one is going to come to the tagging forum and think the thread titled “[NSFW][PROPOSAL] Standardizing the Character-Breast Tags” is where the discussion of some sort of tag searching/categorization scheme would be taking place.
 
@WingbeatPony  
>…since a cosmetic change is not an adequate solution.
 
But wasn’t the cosmetic change all this thread was about?

oh i dunno how long the ‘‘test’’ gonna last (if a test is going on) but i think many wants the pun as the main tag that shows up when searching while the Busty “character name” is in the alias.
 
would have been much easier to keep it that way and it would (at least it think) cut down on the back and forth discussion thats going on now. (and possibly more in the future)

dang it forgot something.
 
also i see both apple bloom and applejack got the busty apple bloom and busty applejack as tag instead of apple bloomed and applerack which is in the alias atm.

Question. Do aliases work sufficiently that even if the pun names are the main tag, searching “Busty *” would still return all of the utility names?

To quote the very first post in the thread:  
3: Due to Aliasing, you will still be able to search-by, or filter the tags by the old names: Since we would be aliasing the breast-tags into the standard format, you do not need to worry about your filters being affected. And you will also still be able to tag and search by the old names if you preferred that method. The only change will be in the tag displayed under the image itself.
[Note]: We currently have created the standardized tags, and have aliased them into the pun tags. Which you will be able to see if you look at some of the tags linked above. So you can see how the alias system operates directly when typing out tag names if you wish.
