round/oval image/background/border madness

Posted under Tags

BUR #50117 is pending approval.

deprecate round_image
create alias round_border -> circular_border
mass update oval_background OR oval_image -> oval_border -oval_background -oval_image
mass update round_image -oval_border -> circular_border
mass update circular_border oval_border -> -circular_border

too many tags for the same thing right now

my proposal

i don't like it either but as per outside border's wiki the posts like post #8079825 count as outside border so we don't need oval background for that or we would need rectangular background for the counterpart. no need to argue that 2 and 3 are different because that ship has sailed already

same for circle

some people may argue that this isn't as good as "round" border because sometimes you don't have a perfect circle/oval but the name of the tag is circular border, it's not perfectly circular border, so it's okay if it's the circle is a bit deformed. i don't think anybody cares about that

this BUR deprecates round image, round border, oval background and oval image and moves existing posts to oval border and circular border. the outside border tag probably needs to be tagged manually on the few oval background but it should already be tagged in the other ones assuming people actually tagged it right

edit: i'm stupid, circular border was aliased to round border so i changed the BUR to just flip the alias instead

btw there is probably some posts that are tagged wrong currently like circles in the oval tags but it's not like the BUR can make the tags worse than they already are

we don't need to do anything to oval because it's a shape like circle

rounded corners is a tag for rounded rectangles so it doesn't have anything to do with the circle/oval tags except for sounding similar to the other round tags. also there is some circles in rounded corners too probably because of autocomplete?

i checked the oval image posts and there was only 1 circle i think and some nooses

personally i'd say post #1740062 is a circle, not an oval. it's not a perfect circle but it's so insignificantly oval-ish that it probably belongs more into a circle tag than in an oval tag but i left it as oval

there are some posts that look oval-ish but rather than being an oval image it's just a fading border that is vaguely oval...

these, though, are completely wrong

calling this an oval is a stretch...
uhhhhhhhh.... no, i don't think so
are you serious?
bruh

the right one is probably just ornate border right? i don't think we have a tag for apple border. i changed one oval image to heart image.

except for the oval background post from before i'm pretty sure oval image and oval background are just the same oval border tag
