Topic: Discussing a bit of the chromatic dragons tags

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Uh, are they really useful? They seems to be more there to mess when you want to tag something like hair, shirt, etc color and have to clean "-dragon -mythological_creature -mythological_scalie -mythology -scalie" every time if you do it wrong...

Like there is this post here (young tag warning), both me and other user were trying to use a "color_fur" tag but because the priority is for "red/green/gray_dragon" etc we had to take out the tags talked above.

Is there any chance of taking out these tags or at least make a new "red", "green", "blue" tags that just aliased to "invalid tag" so there is less tags to take out when this type of tagging error happens?

What is the exact tag you are having issue with? Can you link to the wiki page for it? All I can think of is D&D's chromatics, which are fairly well-defined species visually.

It sounds like they're saying tags like blue_dragon are aliased to dragon (since colored dragons aren't D&D specific, and taggers may try to use it to mean any dragon of the given color), and when they were trying to tag blue_fur, the autocomplete put dragon higher than blue_fur that they were trying to tag and caused a mistag.
