How do I tag this?

Posted under Tags

How should spartan_(halo) be handled? Right now I'm only using it for unnamed or unidentified Spartans.

Should all named characters who are Spartans (Master Chief, Jorge-052, etc;) also be tagged spartan_(halo)?

Should crossover characters (not from Halo) wearing power armor be tagged spartan_(halo)? Or is power_armor enough?

I think it'd be better if the tag was named spartan armor (halo). This allows us to use it for all cases where it appears, including for characters outside its copyright wearing it, and for named character.

Not gonna lie, the tank top/camisole/vest/sleeveless shirt tags are a total mess. No idea then.

Is the difference something like "sleeveless shirt is shaped like a shirt with the sleeves removed, tanktop has straps, camisole is a tanktop with spaghetti straps, and a vest opens in the front, except for school uniform sweater vests that tend not to"? because that's how i've been tagging

These tags are completely buggered because of all the weird arbitrary distinctions that have been made for them. Tank tops are shirts without sleeves, so they should in theory be tagged as sleeveless shirts but for some reason they don't count? There's also the whole new mess with the recent color_tank_top implications too, but that's a whole other can of worms.

The only thing I'm pretty sure about is that vests usually go over shirts (except in some hot countries where they're worn as the main upperwear).

Well, tanktop sleeveless_shirt has some 700 posts and a lot of the posts in vest sleeveless_shirt are like post #3729931, so there seems to be some confusion on when to tag each of those. There's also tanktop camisole with 320 posts.

Is a camisole always a tanktop (or viceversa)? Should they be implied, or are they completely different?

I think all 4 are distinct enough but there are cases, as always, where the line can be blurry, sleeveless shirts should contain the collar part for it to be considered a shirt in my opinion.

That probably has a lot to do with topic #12487, where the question of whether tank tops should be tagged as shirt was left without a satisfactory answer. I don't personally see why they shouldn't, since in practice nearly every other sort of upper-body wear from blouses to crop tops to sweatshirts gets tagged shirt on a routine basis.

IMO, all tank tops are sleeveless shirts, but not all sleeveless shirts are tank tops. For instance, there are sleeveless t-shirts ("muscle shirts") with narrower neck- and arm-holes than a tank top would normally have.

The most obvious distinction is strap width; camisoles have spaghetti straps no more than about 1 cm across, but tank tops have straps that are usually 2-3+ cm across. Camisoles are exclusively women's wear so they tend to be made of finer material and have different styles of necklines, but there is a lot of variation in this regard. Also, tank tops generally fit snugly to the body whereas camisoles can have a looser fit, especially the ones made for use as outerwear.

This has been bothering me for a while now. Is there a specific tag for when panties/thongs rise above the waistline? Like so: post #3870007.

Obviously a lot of these posts are tagged with "highleg_panties", but that doesn't exactly describe what is happening considering you can have highleg panties by themselves with no pants and no waistline to rise above. Also in many cases it could not be considered "whale_tail" considering it's not riding up enough in the back to make a whale tail shape...only on the sides.
