Tag parent/child suggestions

Done. This is the same as what's done with other regions/countries.

I don't know enough about abs vacuum, does it necessarily involve having a small waist? For example this is tagged with it and she doesn't have a particularly small waist:

Or is that just mistagged?

Definitely mistagged.

It doesn't mean you have a small waist.

My understanding is (and I might be wrong) is that it means they're trying to attain a smaller waist. They might start with a larger waist.... Actually I should add, I believe it's also meant to give them a flatter stomach, particularly the lower abdomen area where often due to loss of muscle tone in deeper muscles begins to develop a "pooch" area. This is what I mean by a lower abdomen pooch:

This is what an actual ab vacuum looks like:

As I stated above, I'm no expert on the ab vacuum. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. Instead I'm telling you that someone else with greater expertise should tell you. Among my various body type preferences, I like the tiny ones and itty-bitty waists so I inevitably see lots of vacuum content in videos I click on. Ironically, I don't like watching them.

The tag hierarchy system is addressing exactly that complaint

He deleted his comment. Now I'm curious what it was.

To clarify: THIS is a vacuum

THIS is a nauli

Most naulis begin with a vacuum, but not all vacuums progress to naulis.

Maybe vacuums, naulis, belly-rolls and belly-dance should be children of 'abs control' ... and 'abs control' should be a child of 'muscle control' ... unless 'abs control' should be a child of 'abs' ... which would make them grandchildren.

Thank you for clarifying the difference. Vacuum I knew, nauli I didn't. But that's not actually the clarification I was requesting...

Do you know the purpose of doing an ab vacuum (and since you mentioned nauli, do you know the purpose of nauli)?

Can you confirm (or correct) that the purpose of the ab vacuum is:

  1. The ab vacuum helps flatten the lower abdomen by strengthening deep muscles that have lost their muscle tone --?

  2. The ab vacuum helps shrink the waistline by flattening the lower abdomen and pulling the sides in by increasing the muscle tone of the deep muscles worked --?

^^^^

Dual purpose of both: primarily to strengthen core, improve digestion and posture. Cosmetic improvements are a bonus.

Plus it must be a stunning party trick.

Also maybe crushing could be a parent of fruit crush, biceps crush, potato crush (not sure if potato crush is needed since it has only one element). Crushing could also be a child of feat of strength.

Add children of glasses: sunglasses

Add children of body hair: hairy armpits, hairy arms, hairy legs

Add children of pool: poolside, swimming pool, infinity pool

Add children of costume/cosplay: street fighter cosplay

Also, I see that the "costume/cosplay" tag has already had a lot of child tags added to it. But would it be better to classify them in layers of hierarchy, in order to group together certain types of cosplay?

What I mean is: right now "chun-li cosplay", "cammy cosplay" and "juri han cosplay" all point directly to their parent tag "costume/cosplay".

But maybe it would be better to set it up like this:

  • "street fighter cosplay" has the child tags "chun-li cosplay", "cammy cosplay", "juri han cosplay", "sakura cosplay", "marisa cosplay"
  • Then "costume/cosplay" has "street fighter cosplay" as a child tag.
  • So the individual character tags would no longer be direct child tags of "costume/cosplay".

Similar groups could be created so that "wonder woman cosplay", "supergirl cosplay", "she-hulk cosplay" etc would all be grouped together under a parent tag called something like "superhero/comics cosplay", and then that tag could have the parent tag "costume/cosplay".

So, which of these three options do you think is the best way to organize them?

  1. All individual character cosplay tags point directly to "costume/cosplay" as the parent tag (like they do right now).
  2. All individual character cosplay tags point directly to "costume/cosplay" as the parent tag, but they also have their series/group tags as another additional parent tag. (So "chun-li cosplay" is a direct child tag of "costume/cosplay" and a direct child tag of "Street fighter cosplay".)
  3. All individual character cosplay tags point only to their character group tag as a parent, and then that group tag points to "costume/cosplay" as its parent. (So "chun-li cosplay" is a child of "Street Fighter cosplay", and "Street Fighter cosplay " is a child of "costume/cosplay".)

I see your thinking here, but going more fine-grained could be a slippery slope.

Cheetara is a popular cosplay, but she's not a superhero (moreso a cosmic refugee among a group that keeps their royal allegiances). There aren't enough female Thundercats to justify a standalone Thundercats medial category. Putting her in under top-level cosplay seems best.

Fine-grained would also lead to confusion and disagreements about how to classify them. The next argument could be that street fighter characters should be classified under the first game version they were released under. Nevermind the endless possibilities for subcategories under superheroes.

Chainer already explained that it's set up to automatically include all children under their parents, however many levels there are...

New tag hierarchy system

You may notice that sometimes when you go to a tag page, for example biceps flex, you see something like this:

This is the new tag hierarchy system I just released.

The way it works is this: Any time you search for a tag, all images tagged with its children (recursively) are also included in the search results.

For example, with the above: If you search for "biceps flex", the results also include "front double biceps", "peaked biceps", "back double biceps", and "biceps rear peak". If you search for "biceps", the results include "biceps flex" and all the other aforementioned tags. If you search for "biceps rear peak", you just get the results for that, without "biceps flex"; unless "biceps rear peak" also has children of its own, which can't be seen in the above screenshot.

Also, if you are subscribed to "biceps", you also get notifications when images are tagged with any of its children, recursively.

...

Also note that under any particular image or model, all the parent tags are also pulled in (in gray), and do not count towards the 10 tag limit.

NOTE: When tagging an image, please use the most specific relevant tags. This is because the parent tags are automatically pulled in. For example, if you tag an image with "biceps flex", it is essentially automatically tagged with "biceps" also, since "biceps" is a parent of "biceps flex". If you were to only tag with "biceps", then the additional detail of "biceps flex" would be missing.

Chainer already explained that it's set up to automatically include all children under their parents, however many levels there are...

I read that. But that's an explanation that it's technnically possible for the system to support multiple layers of tag hierarchy. I was asking if people actually want to use it like that, in this specific situation of cosplay tags.

My suggested option (3) would follow that multiple layer system. (That's my personal preference.)

I added option (1) in case people might say: "Well, we've already started having all individual character cosplay tags as direct children of 'costume/cosplay', so let's not change it by adding a mid-level tag in between." Your post above added another good reason why it might not be a good idea to use mid-level tags to group together fictional characters: the possible arguments about how they should be grouped together.

And then I added option (2) because it's another potential option I could imagine doing. However, Chainer's explanation doesn't explicitly mention if the new system supports one having two or more different direct parent tags, so maybe there's a good reason not to do that? (e.g. maybe giving a child tag two different parents is bad for site performance, or something?)

Done. Except for helmet, which is its own thing. And baseball cap is now a child of cap.

Add children of animal: cat, pets

Done.

Done.

Add children of pool: poolside, swimming pool, infinity pool

Done, with pool merged into swimming pool.

Add children of costume/cosplay: street fighter cosplay

Done.

  • "street fighter cosplay" has the child tags "chun-li cosplay", "cammy cosplay", "juri han cosplay", "sakura cosplay", "marisa cosplay"
  • Then "costume/cosplay" has "street fighter cosplay" as a child tag.

This is done as listed above. Not every genre of cosplay will need an intermediate category (parent) designation. In this case, it works because of the volume of street fighter stuff.

This might overlap with several parent tags, but what about "twerking"? It could fall under the parent tags "dancing" or "glutes".

There is already "glutes bouncing/flexing", but it doesn't distinguish videos that show someone just flexing and holding their glutes just once (especially with them being striated), from those that show someone's glutes bouncing and shaking in a rhythmic fashion, or with active dancing. I feel adding the tag "twerking" under either one of those parent tags could help differentiate such videos.

I think those have been set the wrong way round: the site is currently showing "cap" as a child of "baseball cap".

Good catch-- fixed it.

Mod note: I accidentally edited your post instead of replying to it, sorry.

Set up “headwear” (or similar term) as the parent of “cap”, “hat”, and “helmet”.

Done. Handstand is also a child of "calisthenics".

Probably no.

This is not an exercise in who can finish a complete taxonomy of tag topics. There needs to be a general demand for query.

Tags that are needlessly specific or “boutique” are at risk of being merged.
