variations and multiple views

Posted under Tags

BUR #52698 is pending approval.

create implication variations -> multiple_views

Variations, according to the wiki, should mean the pose stays mostly the same but there are still multiple instances of the same character in the image. Unless that somehow disqualifies a post from being tagged with multiple views, having the former implying the latter makes sense to me.

The character's pose and basic appearance should stay mostly the same, with only one aspect of their appearance changing

As such, the wiki makes it so the tag has a very specific definition. I actually made clothes variants to adress certain cases outside of the wiki definition, like post #7573875.

The way people actually use variations, however, seems to be quite different that what the wiki suggests and I guess that's the result of only reading the tag name and not the wiki. Or maybe people just don't care and they just tag what they feel is right.

So we have several options here:

  • rewrite the wiki to describe a much wider range of "variations"
  • keep the wiki as is and remove the tag from posts that don't fit its definition
  • have variations as an umbrella tag and make other more specific tags for different situations. post #10280273 as posted above would actually fit into clothes variants.
