How do I tag this?

Not really. The girl is wearing an school swimsuit, and you don't really need to be into the franchise to notice this. I guess the uploader added the tag because, the girl in the image is wearing a necktie, something a little strange for a swimsuit. But no, I don't think this classifies as school uniform, because the character isn't wearing any of the other accesories the Wiki mentions.

That's a neckerchief, I thought it could be an in franchise school uniform with no tag considering it's a shipgirl copyright and there are more images of characters with this design. I'll keep the tag for now and garden the serafuku mistags when I have the time.

We have some Pokemon pics referencing this recent Valentine's collab with the Morozoff chocolate company (e.g. post #7130534, post #7183630, post #7218443). Should this be referenced in a tag, and if so, should it be a "morozoff pikachu" chartag, a "morozoff pikachu (meme)" tag, a "morozoff" tag for the company itself, or otherwise?

I'd say it makes most sense to have a dedicated "morozoff" tag, which can just be combined with the appropriate Pokémon tag. I don't see why we would need a dedicated tag for every time this company makes a picture with a certain Pokémon.

Besides, I kinda want to debate the use of the term "meme" in this context. I don't see how those pictures you linked qualify as such. The word meme has a dedicated meaning (the smallest decoding of a emotional, cultural or social concept, akin to genes in biology), and not every colourful and or funny picture is a meme. (no offense of course! :) But this is a personal issue of mine, that meme is kinda used inflationary; if you look at websites like Know your meme, they are sticking much closer to the definition I gave here).
Edit: Rule of thumb: if its primarily used to convey/central to a certain thought, emotion, feeling, notion, its a meme. If its not, it isn't.

That's why I was asking.

I had this discussion in a comment under the picture, but I though I'd bring it to the official place to get some more input on it.

The above picture is tagged as "1girl" and as "3boys". But how do we know that any of the attackers are boys at all - or if there are three of them? Like, even if we assume the attackers to be boys, its very well possible that we are having 2 attackers, judging by the number of hands (which are by the way explicitly tagged as "male hands").

How would you tag this? Is it maybe worth it to create a "unknown gender" tag? Because, frankly, since they are wearing the same uniform as the victim, I think there is a stronger indicator of them being women (because of gendered uniforms), but truthfully we just don't know it.

Looking forward to hear your thoughts on how you would handle this! :)

Based on the wiki pages for POV tags, I'm inclined to say off-screen characters should simply not be tagged with number-gender at all, i.e. that post should say 1girl and that's all, no 3anything. And things like pov hands, out of frame, etc. should be the only indication of the other characters.

Hey, thank you for your input! :)

Just to clearify, so you wouldn't tag them as "3others" either? (That was the solution I had settled on in between, but I'd be more than happy to change that. Just want it to make sense and be consistent).
