For femdom it's "ultimately a small part of an image" but if it's male focus / otoko no ko / futanari the chastity cage is basically panties. Danbooru has tags for all colors and designs of panties so if chastity cage is equivalent it gets the same tags.
This is an insanely bad take. The search results for panties and any other colour of them would far outshine any searches for intricate or granular tags of chastity cages. More Danbooru users are searching for tags related to female characters, which is also why a lot of our tags default to women and have a separate tag for male characters. This is a false equivalence, and it has no search utility, therefore it doesn't need the same tags at all.
Also, just because some colour tags do exist, doesn't mean they're good, and doesn't mean they should be used as justification for perpetuating colour nonsense on other insignificant items. A lot of these have been eventually dismantled when brought up. Those existing doesn't bolster your own case.

So the reason I made up chastity cage-belt is because some devices look like a chastity belt but are designed for the penis like a chastity cage. So if you only had these two tags you probably would use chastity belt for it like in post #5765145 which is futanari or post #8088724 which is flat. Then nobody is going to find it because you would never search for chastity belt if you were looking for caged penises. Like I went through all chastity cage posts and I didn't see this post #2897493 because it's tagged with chastity belt. If it was tagged with chastity cage chastity cage-belt I would find it. I think chastity belt should be used only if there is no penis inside the device.
I'll yield on this for now because you made a convincing-enough case for now that it has decent search utility, pending revisiting it in the future. The problem for me is that there ended up being so many tags generated for a hyperspecific fetish and a HUGE amount of them can and should be folded down into other tags. I can compromise on this one for the sake of finding those posts as a one-tag search because otherwise I would be suggesting using both tags (i.e. the query chastity_belt chastity_cage) as my reason for getting rid of that tag.

I didn't make chastity piercing but it isn't a nipple piercing, it's a piercing on the genitals.

I made sex toy replacing penis because of that wanted a tag for it.
I found this out after revisiting the posts tagged with them. I still think they're meh tags and need to be revisited.

there are no pics of that on danbooru.
-which is exactly part of the issue. For something that has few to no pictures on Danbooru, we have other tags that can be combined to find it as well as favgroups and pools to use in other cases. Those should be thought about, and if it really doesn't fit, it might work as a tag. The current dichotomy and search utility needs to also be considered.

Someone told me hand on own penis could be used instead but is it really on the penis if the penis is inside a chastity cage?
hand_on_own_penis condom. It sounds equally as stupid to make a tag to differentiate touching the real organ and over a condom and no one would dispute that; it's largely a similar case here where there is an object between a hand and the organ itself but it's still unambiguously touching the organ. A very close tag that describes the overall concept is teasing. There may be another tag here as well. Generally all the posts around this tag are better suited as a genre tag than the action itself because it covers a broader case and lets people search them more easily as one tag.

just like there is micro shorts, short shorts, miniskirt, microskirt, etc.
False equivalence, not convinced. I can compromise on the other tags for now, i.e. why I chose not to do anything with nub chastity cage.

So I think small chastity cage is a good tag just like small_penis and there is large penis so of course there should be a large chastity cage tag.
False equivalence.

My tags may be too granular but I'm not tagging anything wrong. There is logic in my "mess".
Just because you're not tagging anything wrong (which I won't dispute for the most part), that doesn't mean having granular tags or making an absolute mess without getting some BURs and discussions going is good. You quietly created a lot of these tags and didn't bring them up in the forum at any point for implications or discussion so someone's going to notice and sooner or later we're back to the drawing board here. Especially with the colour tags. I probably would not be here if I didn't see a massive amount of colour tags being made and would sweep it under the rug.

You're solving a problem that doesn't exist. There's no real reason to search or filter by color for chastity cages, or most other minute details of them, which is why you're getting so much pushback. Something like shirt color is a notable part of a character's outfit, and something like hair color is a notable part of their appearance. If someone's searching for chastity cage, odds are they won't care too much about the minutia of it (especially since there aren't that many chastity cage posts on this site to begin with in the grand scheme of things—less than 1000!)
Just because a concept exists it doesn't mean it needs to be tagged, especially not when it gets super granular.
This.
