I agree but this needs a deprecation + wiki. Most posts appear to be parted bangs, fanged bangs or hair between eyes.

There's no fanged bangs in the results, except one which was mistagged by @gzb that i just fixed (that was definitely not anywhere near fanged bangs).

Looking at the tag's history, it was initially just parted bangs 2:electric boogaloo; then at some point started getting tagged on literally anything with bangs in any shape or form.
It really should be deprecated, with wiki maybe pointing to parted bangs/double-parted bangs

Which post was that? I just checked the wiki for fanged bangs and the examples seem to be different from what I remembered. post #7620202 used to be tagged fanged bangs because, well, parts of the bangs are tapering and long and kinda look like fangs. That just made sense from the name.

I don't disagree with the current use of the tag btw but I would appreciate if someone can make the wiki clearer. Maybe provide examples of what isn't applicable for the tag.

Also, does post #8126394 count for fanged bangs

The one you tagged was post #7754233
Yeah that's partly my fault for not gardening the tag enough once it started getting noticed by other users after i created it and it's first wiki, and i also was naive enough to assume that no one would change the wiki to the point of making the tag way too nebulous (and useless), so i relatively recently re-updated it to be more like what it's supposed to be in essence. (is current wiki still too confusing? i'd provide non-examples but i can't pin-point what it is exactly that people confuse with it outside of sidelocks which is already mentionned)
The case of post #post #7620202 is interesting for sure, i understand the thought process of seeing how the tag's name could be applied here, and it could bring up a new tag depending on how many other cases there are like this one, but it really should have never got tagged fanged bangs, and especially not taken as a wiki example

edit: (you edited your message while i was writing mine, so i saw it only after submitting)
post #8126394 is not fanged bangs, but the fact you're asking this question helps me get a better idea of the issue, assuming it's because of that one strand parting itself from the bangs

Yeah, that part looks kinda like it. Fanged bangs being easily confused with sidelocks actually does give me a better understanding of what the tag should mean, I think. Still, it's not very clear yet. What's the most defining feature of the tag? The "long and tapering" feature or the position of where the "fang" is coming from? Does "extremities" mean the very outer vertical edges of the bangs?

For example, would post #7355712 be fanged bangs if the outer edges of the center flap have thin long strands of hair or the center-flap bangs has to be much wider for that to count? Is post #3714287 fanged bangs?

For other bangs, I kinda have some issues too. post #7640250 is used as example of swept bangs while post #7973118 is an example of center-flap bangs but shouldn't it be the other way around?

Yes, post #7355712 would definitely count if the outer edges had the long strands at the sides (examples for this:post #6910301, post #4591277)
post #3714287 is indeed fanged bangs, so i added the tag
The extremities only need to be on the sides of the bangs, not the sides of the head itself; There's no rule on the width of the bangs, the strands on the sides just have to not be sidelocks.
Thanks for asking those questions, i didn't know that the width of the bangs would cause an issue

I'm not familiar with the limits of swept bangs so i can't comment on that, but for post #7973118 listed as an example of center-flap bangs i'm just as confused as you are. Originally i made center-flap bangs to be for bangs like post #7355712, but users understandably started including in it stuff like cases of double-parted bangs because a lot of those have, well, a blunt bang bunch in the center, so in the end wasn't surprising, especially as the name i chose wasn't specific enough to intuitively exclude such cases, so i let it be. But post #7973118 doesn't seem to be center-flap to me, the gap is really only on one side, so for it to be taken as example doesn't make sense to me.

So center-flap bangs should only be used when the hair is parted/cut/combed on both sides? I will edit the wiki once there is confirmation.

I think whoever made post #7973118 as an example was trying to extend the definition to when the hair is only parted/cut/combed on a single side but for that we already have swept bangs and asymmetrical bangs.

I don't know if there's further need to differentiate with double-parted bangs though. If there is, I will remove that part on the wiki.

Well it has to be a center-flap, meaning there needs to be a parting/combing or cutting in such a way to make a center bunch, so if it's only parted on one side while still being the same bunch with the other, logically it doesn't count. I think if we let center-flap bangs be extended to this, then it definitely will stop being a useful tag.

I agree with that. Also, I just edited the wiki to better define the tag.

Edited the fanged bangs wiki too.
