help:glossary discussion thread

I agree. There's a lot of outdated information that doesn't reflect current Danbooru. Especially "the favorites of some of Danbooru's most beloved members" part, which all but one aren't active anymore.

I went ahead and removed that specific part because it's just so bad.

Did a cleanup to howto:get_started's lingo and moved them to help:glossary.
Better keep all "language features" done by the Lady Garegga.

I thank you for alerting here and your help, but i'd suggest next time to suggest a change before applying changes for "technical" wiki pages like this, to keep things in order. You put in the terms in a different category, but they can be easily separated and fit in the other already existing categories.

Recent changelog:
help:toc - Added missing Community Rules and Upload Rules below Terms of Service and Moderation
howto:contribute - Posts (uploading) - What we do not want - Added paid reward

EDIT: New changelog

Remove double link Community rules from Forum part. Early added to incorrect place.

help:glossary - An example of how you can make the reference (note) in the headline less catchy. (see Lingo).

Removed the Lingo section. It was still unsorted, and i think it's unneeded since those terms were either synonyms ("attire means outfit") or explaination of things explained somewherelse (like the definition of Copyright).

Bump.

New term proposal: "Grandfathered Copyright"

Draft:

Danbooru often uses Japanese names for copyright titles and character names. But, there are some which is "grandfathered". A grandfathered copyright means it will use English/North American names for either copyright titles, character names, or both. It is split into:

Partially Grandfathered

Summary: The copryright tags might use English names but character names use Japanese names. It can be vice versa: Copyright JP, Character EN.

• Examples:
• Touhou (Copyright EN, Character JP)
• Neon Genesis Evangelion (Copyright EN, Character JP)
• Ghost in the Shell (Copyright EN, Character JP)
• Fullmetal Alchemist (Copyright EN, Character JP)

Completely Grandfathered

Summary: Both copyright tags and character tags will use North American names.

• Examples:
• Pokemon (see topic #17160)
• Fire Emblem
• Castlevania
• Kirby of the Stars

I've never heard the term being used before. Did you make it up? If so, i'd rather add only well-known terms.

It was derived from howto:copyright, precisely the following part:

Note: There are some "grandfathered-in" exceptions to this rule, including Spice and Wolf, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Fullmetal Alchemist.

I'd say that's not so much a common terminology as it is a policy. That explanatory draft you made should probably go in the mentioned Howto:Copyright wiki instead.

Would adding a definition to "to up"/"uppable"/"upped" help or is there no need?

I'd like to add "Pet Tag" to the list, but i have trouble explaining the meaning myself.
From what i gathered, the meaning is along the lines of "tag made by one user to act as personal gallery, usually with too strict requirements to be helpful to the community".

EDIT: changed topic name to be more relevant to current discussion.

Yes that is correct, pet tags are basically tags created and mantained by a single user, with confusing or too narrow guidelines, rarely searched and rarely used by other people.
