This tag should be used for images extracted directly from a game's code, since they don't have a proper source to link to. This is to avoid using source_request on these kinds of images.

I feel it would be better to just add the game as the source...
This is in the help:image_source wiki, by the way:
...for uploads from a non-internet source (self scan, fandisc, screencap, game rip, etc.), specify what material the image came from: the work title or the episode name, for example.

Thank you, sorry. But, since we already have a scan tag, why not add a Datamine/Game Rip tag?
Perhaps not datamine, but now that I think of it, I don't think there is a way to locate all posts that have text (i.e. not source:none) but don't have a link in the source field. Below are a couple of spitballed names, though if someone has got something better, we could go with that.
It would be relatively easy to tag all such posts just by scanning them and processing them through the API, so there aren't any limiting factors on implementing it.
I think tags explaining how to extract an image are useful, such as with video crop
This would be a useful tag, but can we call it something like game_asset instead? I've probably lost this battle before I even start, but data mining has an established definition and this isn't it.

That could be useful too, but not as a replacement for OP's suggestion. We shouldn't lump together digital assets extracted from a game with scans of analog media.
Of your names, nonweb_source is my favourite, though I'd have spelt it "non-web_source".

Yeah, I wasn't thinking of it as a replacement, but more like a kind of umbrella term (for all of the non-web sources).
If there are no objections, I'll go ahead and start working on how to scan and update all posts.
Alright, well that was easier than expected (the coding I mean). I've started going through the posts, and should be done by sometime tomorrow.
Also, I created a wiki for Non-Web Source. In it I mention both scans (for analog) and game assets (for digital). Take a look and change as necessary.
Also, although I added game asset to the wiki, it can still be changed if desired. Now that I look at it, maybe digital asset should be used instead, to also cover those digital image packages that can be downloaded from various publishing sites.
I just checked Non-Web Source. Amazing work, but some gardening is needed. I'm gonna start and try to clean it up a bit, but help would be appreciated.
Yeah, I forgot to leave my computer on last night so it lost all of those hours of processing, but it's on now again and it should probably take the reset of today to finish.

Could you give an example(s)? If it's something my script can account for, it would make the gardening a lot faster.

On that note, someone changed the source of some scans i uploaded to exhentai/nhentai links. Since it isn't a web source, could you write a script that detects images ''sourced'' with nhentai/exhentai links?
You mean like the tag search source:https://exhentai.org/* ...?

Oh, whoops. I didn't knew that was a thing, sorry.

If it's truly the same image as claimed on that post, then why not just use that image link for the source and mark the post with bad tumblr id. I do the same all of the time when I'm uploading Twitter or other posts that no longer exist but I still have the file downloaded to my hard drive.
But yeah, that post needs to be fixed up and have the non-web source removed. Anyways, it's my opinion that anything that isn't a web link, whether dead or not, should be considered a non-web source.

Posts that had a copyright tag in the source field all got tagged non-web source. Many are deleted posts so it's not priority but as an example post #2114764 and post #2109127 from this search: user:DarthDaniel96 non-web_source
user:Secretsec8 non-web_source
The name of the website the images were found on was in the source field which added the non-web source tag to these images.
