Editing Booru:Tagging Guideline (section)

== What to tag ==
=== Bare Minimum ===
* When you upload a new image without intending to fully tag it, please add "tagme".
* If you add no tags at all, it will be added automatically.
* What we would ''like'' to see on new uploads are: 
** the artist
** the depicted characters (or "tagchar" instead)
** their races and 
** appropiate spoiler tags (or "tagspoiler" instead).
* After uploading, ''please'' also edit the image to add
** the safety rating (see above)
** the source of the art (like a Discord message or social media link)
** a title for the art if you like
** parent art index if applicable
=== Appearance ===
* Clothing:
** What kind? E.g. "shirt", "pants", "shoes", "dress", "armor"
*** "shirt" means any cloth worn over the chest area with short sleeves and no option to open it
*** "sweatshirt" is the same with long sleeves
*** "top" is the same for no sleeves/bare shoulders
*** "jacket" is short or long sleeves, but can be opened/closed via zipper or buttons
*** "vest" is the same for no sleeves/bare shoulders
*** "pants" means any cloth worn over the individual legs, covering most of them
*** "shorts" are pants that cover only half the legs, don't use the "pants" tag for them
*** Beware: The differences between "dress", "robe" and "toga" are currently very muddy; dresses are for ladies, robes are for mages? DON'T MENTION IEKA!
*** If nothing is worn, we have "nude", "topless" and "bottomless"; only use the latter two if "nude" doesn't apply
** What color? To avoid 11 tags for each kind of clothing, the colored tags are simplified to the following 5 (in the example with black only):
*** "black_headwear", "black_chestwear", "black_handwear", "black_legwear", "black_footwear"
*** color of sleeves that are part of chestwear count towards chestwear color, not handwear color
*** sock color counts towards legwear color
*** apron color is currently completely ignored
*** Exception: "robe" and "dress" have their own color tags (this should be corrected at some point)
*** Exception: "cape" has its own color tags as well, but this should stay so
* Complexion: 
** fur and scales can have any booru color, e.g. "black_fur", "black_scales"
** same for feathers, although there is also a separate "feather" tag that should be used in these cases
** we DO NOT use black, brown, yellow or red for skin colors; the acceptable skin colors for humans and human-skin-colored folk are, in order from brightest to darkest:
*** "pale_skin", "bright_skin", "toned_skin", "dark_skin"
*** "yellow_skin" and "red_skin" are only acceptable if the characters in question have a seriously strong coloring in that direction, like The Simpsons. "white_skin" only like if the skin was not colored on white paper but everything else was
** chitin is not skin and chitin colors are currently ignored
** if the character is painted (like redfangs or ulvama), use tags like "red_paint" for example
* Expression:
** open eyes and closed mouth with tongue contained is considered the norm, don't tag that
** "closed_eyes", "wink" (at least one eye closed and one eye open), "open_mouth" and "tongue_out" are okay
** neutral expression is untagged, but there is "smile" and "frown"
** other examples: "blush", "sweat_drop", "vein"
* Hair:
** "medium_hair" is between ears and shoulders long, longer is "long_hair" and shorter is "short_hair"
** hair can have any booru color as well, except that there is no "yellow_hair", only "blonde_hair"
** haircuts can be tagged, e.g. "ponytail", "mohawk", "dreadlocks", "braids", "twin_tails"
* Eyes:
** always use plural
** come in all booru colors; one of the color is enough, e.g. Teriarch is usually tagged with "blue_eyes" and "purple_eyes"
** when eyes are just dots (in a colored image), color of the dots (often black) qualifies as eye color
** direction of looking: "looking_at_viewer", "looking_down", "looking_up", "looking_back" (i.e. over the shoulder or something)
** "no_pupils" when pupils (and maybe iris) are missing; often the case with pictures of Pirate
* Boobies: don't get tagged, especially not their size
* Sex and gender: e.g. "male", "female", "sexless" (like Antinium)
* Other body parts that are not human
** e.g.: "beak", "wing", "tail", "sharp_teeth", "sharp_nails", "long_ears", "tentacle"
** centaurs don't get their horse body tagged though
* number of people
** e.g.: "solo", "duo", "trio"
** "group" is used for 3 people or more
** named animals may count as people for these tags
*** e.g. Apista and Laken's animals are usually counted
*** Tyrion's horse is not
* Cropping:
** full body is not tagged and considered the default
** e.g.: "upper_body", "lower_body", "head_only", "disembodied_hand"
** might need some rework and more tags like e.g. "bust"
** absence of clothing may be interpreted, e.g. a "upper_body" without any clothing can be tagged as "nude" instead of "topless"
** the reverse does not hold: a "upper_body", regardless of clothing, must never be tagged with "bottomless"
** although please don't tag "head_only" with "nude" when they don't wear a hat
* Posture, e.g.: "standing", "sitting", "kneeling", "crouching"
* Perspective
** e.g.: "front_view", "back_view", "side_view", "bird_view"
** might need some overworking for more perspectives

=== Profession ===
* the (generalized) class
** it doesn't make sense to tag a class that is synonym with a character
** for example, Erin gets only tagged as "innkeeper", Flos only as "king"
** Beware: since classes can change, only tag the new class if the image is spoilered correctly
*** Erin only became a "witch" in "vol9"
*** Mrsha only became a "druid" in "vol5", "book7"
*** Mrsha isn't currently tagged with her other classes
*** Jecaina only became a "queen" in "vol8"
** noble titles can come in all (gendered) forms, like "duke", "princess", "lord", etc., but they are united by the additional tag "nobility"
** since necromancers are a common appearance, they got their tag "necromancer"; there currently aren't tags for other specializations though, except "enchanter"
** rulebreakers like ryoka are tagged "classless"
* the profession: some people have jobs that are not reflected by their class
** Ryoka is a "runner" and became a "courier" in "vol7"
** an Antinium soldier is usually a "soldier"
** the modern archmages of Wistram are eligible for the "archmage" tag
** "child" has been recently introduced, as well as "leader"
* family names
** if more than one person of a family has art, you can tag the family name
*** e.g.: "veltras", "imarris"
** also useful if a family has a crest or something, then tag their family name and "heraldry"

=== Background ===
* "simple_background", alias "sbg" means the characters are not displayed in a location but more of a (maybe quite colorful) void
* if the background has a color scheme, there are tags like "yellow_background", or "yellow_bg" for short (in all booru colors)
* there is also "transparent_background" for PNG images that make use of that

=== TBD ===
