Tag Implication: bird_on_(body part) -> animal_on_person

Posted under General

Let's start with these implications. They're very natural and expected.

Then, I'm not sure we should have these additional implications, because creatures that have hands, arms, heads, legs and shoulders may not be persons:

It may be overkill to do a tag for animal on person when we already have the general bird on person to go by. But on the same token, that means other animals should be covered this way, like dog on person, cat on person, mouse on person, and so on. Not to mention breaking it even further down into their specific categories, such as cat on shoulder, cat on head, cat on arm and cat on hand for cats; bird on shoulder, bird on head, bird on arm and bird on shoulder for birds...

See how dizzying that gets after a while?

That's why I thought of doing a general animal on person tag to cover ALL of these types of animals and body parts. That way a post could only have, say, the bird on shoulder and then animal on person tags. Really simplifies things.

Agreed, we only need the animal_on level, subdividing by every animal seems like overkill.

Although specifying every body location the bird could be on and having one of those for each animal seems potentially excessive too.

I know it's a little excessive, but the golden rule is to tag what you see, right?

Just the popular animals could be implicated for now. I'm going through the bird tag and finding plenty of those images, so at least birds are a good start. I'll use this thread to update my progress through each of the popular animals.

The tag what you see rule isn't saying "Tag everything you see to the nth level of detail", it was created to minimize (but not eradicate) tagging based on information not found in the image itself.
