.____. I swear I saw a post just today..
Ah, it was pool #203. I don't quite understand what md5 is, but aren't those two basically the same thing?

They're not the same. md5 mismatch is when the uploaded file's md5 is different from the md5 at the source, meaning the source is wrong or the uploaded file was modified. The bad md5 pool is for when the uploaded file's md5 is different from what danbooru says the md5 is, meaning danbooru did something wrong.

But yes there's no reason the pool can't be a tag.

Oh. Well, then another one. Why is "imouto" a pool and "tsundere" a tag?

As far as I understood by the forum link in the description of pool #5611 explains all the details as to why the pool even exists in the first place. Meanwhile the wiki to tsundere is fairly straightforward an explicit in terms of use.

I find that pool #7394 has a poorly worded description and can fit any criteria as long as it looks hot.

yes but I've been editing the description over time and adjusting criteria to make it better wish someone would have said "you may want to change this or that"
what i did was look at other pool's and didn't find what i was looking for so i made it

post #145967 is not, in it's current form, a post that fits under album_cover a tag reserved for actual covers. That took me all of ten seconds to find despite having never seen the pool before.

So, what is it?
And why don't we cross the "touhou" out of the pool name and call it just "Music Album Art Collection", because you can just search for pool:4125 touhou.

And then we can tag all the "Album cover art, CD label art, back cover art, sleeve art, you name it."

And then shortly after someone will go "Why is this a pool? It should be a tag." You might as well take this reasoning to its final destination, since without it being narrowed to touhou, it is essentially a tag labeling that which is album art.

The only posts I found that we don't have a tag for are images, which were used as part of the actual cover art, or the full images that were later cropped to album cover resolutions.

Example:
post #1068869 (is not the actual cover)
pixiv #24132064 (the cover itself)
