Pools that should be tags

Posted under General

I've noticed that a lot of pools would work better as tags, and the number of these keeps growing.

We already have forum #12295 - Pointless Pools, and there have already been a lot of suggestions in that thread to turn pools into tags, but it doesn't seem like they ever go anywhere.
That might be because that thread is more for pools that are completely useless and don't need to be turned into a tag first, so I thought having a new thread for pool -> tag suggestions would help.
I could have made a thread for each individual pool, but there are so many that I thought one thread would be better.

Here are some pools that I think can be objectively tagged, and a possible name for the tag:
pool #2059 Perverted Girls -> female_pervert
pool #3171 Madoka - Perverted Homura -> female_pervert akemi_homura
pool #4538 Mundane Utility -> mundane_utility
pool #1787 Touhou - Convenient Cirno -> mundane_utility cirno
pool #3739 Touhou - Convenient Mokou -> mundane_utility fujiwara_no_mokou
pool #5942 Pointing out the details -> captions or the already existing diagram (See also: forum #81292 and the more recent topic #9368)
pool #1552 Gameplay Mechanics -> gameplay_mechanics
pool #4072 Inconvenient breasts -> breast_inconvenience
pool #5205 Varying Degrees Of Want -> varied_reactions
pool #4848 Perpendicular Paizuri -> perpendicular_paizuri

my personal opinion on pool #2059 and pool #3171 is i think they are much better to stay as separate pools. the former has about 900~ posts and the letter has 630+ posts. i don't see the advantage of mixing them together when one single character could easily dominate the pool. perverted homura is already 2/3 of all the perverted girls combined.

female_pervert akemi_homura will not work if we are searching for akemi_homura on the receiving end/'victim'.

examples post #1198170 , post #967381 , post #904593 , etc will be a lot harder to locate.

forgot about this topic.

pool #4538 Mundane Utility -> mundane_utility
pool #1787 Touhou - Convenient Cirno -> mundane_utility cirno
pool #3739 Touhou - Convenient Mokou -> mundane_utility fujiwara_no_mokou

I agree, i think this could be a tag but at the very least, the cirno and mokou ones should be deleted and merged with mundane utility cause its pointless to have character specific pools when you can find them with pool:4538 "character_name"

pool #1552 Gameplay Mechanics -> gameplay_mechanics
i can see this being a tag and causing no issues.

the other pool to tag suggestions made i'm iffy on. can't really say i side with one side or the other on them.

Even more important, see forum #9368 , where we talked in much more detail about what would and wouldn't make an adequate tag replacement for pool #5942.

I'm still not sure whether something like in-image commentary would really cover what the pool is meant to capture, but it's certainly a lot closer than captions or diagram would be.

You mean topic #9368. That thread is newer than this one and has more discussion about pool #5942 in it, so there might a better place to continue discussion on that particular pool.

pool #2256 Artists Draw Other Originals -> borrowed_character

This is actually pretty important to add to a post because without it someone who comes across the character for the first time may think it's an original of the artist that drew it. I think it's a taggable artist-related concept like collaboration is.

+1, definitely think this should be a tag.

pool #2142 - Exquisite Weaponry -> elaborate_weapon

Also pool #2318 - Touhou - Utsuho's Fancy Cannon -> elaborate_weapon
Together with alternate_weapon that should work just fine.

pool #4983 - Exquisite Clothes -> elaborate_clothes

pool #5172 - Exquisite Underwear -> elaborate_underwear

pool #1628 - Touhou - Fancy Winged Flandre -> elaborate_wings
Also pool #3165 - Touhou - Fancy Winged Nue -> elaborate_wings
Together with alternate_wings that should work just fine.

Detailed_XXX instead of elaborate_XXX would also work for those new tags. I think elaborate fits better, but that's just a suggestion.

pool #5924 - Juicy Details -> juicy_details

Maybe add detailed_background as a new tag while we're at it.

This subject is being covered in topic #9823 and should not be separately tackled here too.

pool #5924 - Juicy Details -> juicy_details

Probably better handled by cleaning up close-up to move appropriate pictures into face and portrait than by making a new tag.

I know it's (partially) there, but unlike the other one this here is the right thread for it.

That is a forum topic entirely dedicated to the removal of certain, specific subjective "quality" pools and the conversion of their contents into tags where applicable. Holding the same debate into two places just invites disagreement between two threads over what to do with it.

(P.S. Thanks, Toks. I have fixed the link above.)

This topic here is dedicated to the conversion of pools to tags. That is exactly what my post is about.

topic #8923 is only about the deletion of "quality" pools. I think those pools I listed are worth keeping, but probably should be converted to tags. The post is therefore offtopic in topic #8923 so I moved it here and added some more pools (no quality pools) that could be converted.

That said I see no problem if we keep the other topic about pool deletion and this one about pool conversion.
