Topic: Tag Implication: white_panties -> panties

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

We generally don't implicate [color]_[clothing] tags, but I'll leave this one up for discussion.

If we're going to have the [color]_[clothing] tags to begin with, I don't see why not. Things are just going to end up not being tagged panties because people either expect it to be implicated or don't realise that it's required.

My only concern is avoiding lots of implications like blue_crotchless_panties -> blue_panties -> blue_underwear -> blue_clothing, if only because it makes moving tags around really difficult (they have to be deleted and recreated if we were to rename the tag, which takes a lot of careful planning).

We could simply alias all clothing color tags away.
Alternately, how about merging those into generic categories? <color>_bottomwear, <color>_topwear, <color>_outerwear (or overwear)? That'd be more functional than tagging every piece of clothing separately by color.

Even simpler alternative would be to alias all of those into a single <color>_clothes tag.

Who searches for specific colors on specific items of clothing, anyway?

I could see red/pink, black and maybe white being actually searched for the rest are probably niche tags.

I don't really want to implicate a handful of colors and leave the other ones as existing tags, that'd be inconsistent. Either we alias them all or keep them all I'd say.

Yep. And it also depends on the clothing. White_panties might be searched for occasionally, but I doubt that the same applies to white_socks, etc.

The coverage remains poor because most users don't consider those important enough to tag. It'd be more efficient to combo-search for <piece_of_clothing> + <color>_clothing, rather than search for something like black_pants and hope that someone's bothered to tag it. That one has been tagged 54 times, which is definitely less than 0.5% of posts where it'd actually apply.

I think we should give the categories a try. Topwear, bottomwear, overwear, maybe <color>_handwear and <color>_footwear too? If those turn out to be too specific, we could always alias them later...

The downside of that idea is that it'd require a lot of aliases. And some clothing might be hard to categorize.
