About Nintendo

Should the tag nintendo contain absolutely all posts from the list of tags below? It's somewhat hard to know for sure.

• kirby_(series)
• metroid
• super_mario_bros.
• and other games from that company

Typically, no. We generally only use studio tags where there's a reason to draw attention to the studio (e.g. a crossover of different games from the same studio in one image).

Thanks.

However, if what you said is true, then the tag nintendo needs massive cleanup, to free it from thousands of entries that don't draw special attention to the company itself.

By the way, the search nintendo -crossover returns thousands of results as well.

The issue with Nintendo is Smash Brothers, I doubt many of those images are tagged crossover.

I think that tagging them with nintendo would be useful, actually, especially for famous titles and iconic characters like Mario. It's like, when you see Mario, you'll think Nintendo.

It could also be useful for people who want to look at video game characters in general, as opposed to those from anime, manga, doujinshi, and such. Searching nintendo would be a good way of weeding out non-video game related stuff.

Of course, the tag should be limited to pictures that show nintendo original titles only.

↑ forum #66086 explains well enough, imo, why we shouldn't.

Bumping this topic because I think this needs another look and/or a cleanup.
