Suggestion: Ambiguous/Do-not-use tag category #4562
Comments
In addition to the points that nonamethanks brought up, the proposed new tag category would also be useful as a highlight in the wikis for tags that should or should not be in certain wikis. For example, the "list of" page that was mentioned above should just be a sea of grey, and any outliers would be instantly and clearly highlighted. Additionally, if the use of an ambiguous tag was used in any particular wiki, than that would also be highlighted for potential removal. Another usecase could also maybe be the missed searches page, as many of the tags showing up there would be potential candidates for being made ambigous tags if they aren't already. Also, besides using the "ambtags:>0" to find incorrectly tagged posts, the Finally, I'd also like to see the antecedents of aliases be given this category as well. As such, it would probably be better to give this category the same name as Gelbooru, i.e. "deprecated", which is more inclusive towards the aliases. This would also help highlight those cases in the wiki where an alias was left behind in a wiki without being updated to the consequent. |
On the posts show page, in the favorites list, show favorites according to the order they were added to the favorites table, rather than the order they were added to the posts's fav_string. On most posts these should be the same, but on old posts they may be slightly different. The IDs of the first few hundred thousand favorites don't appear to be in chronological order. Probably the original favorite IDs were lost and recreated by a database move at some point in Danbooru's history. The fav_string is also inconsistent with the favorites table in some places (one contains favorites that aren't contained by the other), which also throws off the order. Partially addresses #4562 by eliminating one place where we depended on the fav_string.
This specific suggestion, among the various categories, has been proposed many times before, but I just noticed Gelbooru has it too (example), which makes a strong case for adopting it since it seems to work fine for them, so I'm opening this for consideration.
The category would be basically for tags that should not be used. This doesn't sound very useful at first, but there are many implications to consider: first of all the ability to use a "ambtags:>0" (or whatever it would be named) search, and then the fact that a warning could be tied to such tags so that people using them immediately notice. Also, it'd be much easier to spot such tags in the sea of blue that normal taglists can be.
This kind of category would be especially useful for things that cannot be aliased (keyboard is an example).
I know we want to avoid having a rainbow on the sidebar, but as these tags should never be used, that shouldn't be a problem, as they would effectively be handled like tagme and regularly sorted through.
And we have many of these tags. Here's a very partial list: https://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki_pages/list_of_disambiguation_pages
Feel free to immediately close this of course if it's rejected.
