I've previously elaborated at forum #322575 but there's no point in us having these hyperspecific Chinese site watermarks so proposing the alternative of getting rid of them. These aren't useful to have and we don't treat any other site's unique watermarks any differently than just the plain old watermark tag.

I am not proposing any change to Weibo watermark in this BUR specifically because of topic #29819.

BUR #35201 has been rejected.

create alias xiaohongshu_watermark -> website_watermark
create alias miyoushe_watermark -> website_watermark
create alias weibo_watermark -> website_watermark
create alias skland_watermark -> website_watermark
create implication website_watermark -> watermark

my proposal. conflates all four currently existing tags for watermarks of specific sites into one, and implies it to the main watermark tag.

We need a better name than website watermark. Third-party watermarks could be called website watermarks too, since they're also from a website, just a third-party one. Think iFunny or Aerisdies watermarks.

If we treat Weibo watermark as a watermark then arguably most Twitter usernames should be treated as watermarks too, since they're both things that contain the artist's name and are added on top of the image. The only difference is that one is automatically added by the site (at the artist's choice) and the other is manually added by the artist. I don't know how to define watermark in way that doesn't end up including every minor artist name, Twitter username, or signature.
