Now Viewing: tagging_checklistTag type: None Tagging Checklist This checklist of tagging criteria has been prepared in order to give a comprehensive idea on things to look out for when tagging. The tagging criteria has been categorized by priority to bring attention to the more important tags. For more information see: howto:tag For your easy reference, common tags, along with links to relevant tag groups have been provided. As the checklist is quite long, please take it easy when familiarizing yourself with this list. Begin with the more important tags at Level 0 (and all sub-levels), and then work your way upwards. About Tagging Priorities Lower level tags are essential tags. Images lacking lower level tags are considered insufficient for efficient cataloging and searching. Higher level tags are extra tags which describe the more intricate details of an image, but are more difficult to apply correctly, usually due to potential for debate, or a higher requirement of knowledge of otherwise obscure topics such as memes. Note to taggers: This checklist is still in a very early stage, You may help out in expanding this checklist. However, if any part of this list grows too large, please inform the forums about creating a tag_group. Remember to reference this tagging checklist! Ignore, Do NOT Tag Subjective tags that express opinions or subjective critique on images. Common examples are badass, cute, good, evil, moe, sexy and most other adjectives. A full list of known subjective tags may be found at Tag_group:Subjective. Subjective themes, such as misleading thumbnails or lingerie ninja are also not to be tagged. These are better done with Pools, or even multiple tags. Examples Subjective tags and themes best left as pools. Badass Disgustingly Adorable Clever Dat Ass! Very generic themes best left as multiple tags. Blondes in Bikini blonde_hair bikini Bloody Fighting: battle blood Izayoi Sakuya in lingerie: izayoi_sakuya lingerie Muscular Kirisame Marisa: kirisame_marisa muscle Portraits of Hatsune Miku: portrait hatsune_miku, solo hatsune_miku Priority: Level 0, Basic Identification All posts MUST have these tags, if possible. These tags are responsible for making Gelbooru minimally searchable, and allow content filtering for viewers who do not like sexual content, or images with commonly blacklisted tags. Identification Artist (prefix artist:) artist_request, If not known, add and retain tag until artist confirmed. Character (prefix character:) character_request, If not known, add and retain tag until character confirmed. Character lists from popular copyrights are available at tag_groups, in the Characters section. Copyright (prefix copyright:) copyright_request, If not known, add and retain tag until copyright confirmed. Source source_request, If not known, add and retain tag until source confirmed. original Use this tag for illustrations that feature characters that are not related to any kind of copyright. Characters appearing only in said illustration. Such a character may become recurring, limited to a single artist, or multiple artists on a very small scale. (they may have names in this case) This tag may replace one or more character: or copyright: tags. tagme To be added and retained until image is exhaustively tagged to Level 3, unless proven impossible.

Image Sizes highres (1600x1200 or larger) absurdres (3200x2400 or larger) incredibly_absurdres (any dimension above 10000) lowres (500x500 or lower, a lot of pixel art are lowres) Note: Sizes are likely to increase over time, as screens with higher pixel counts become more common. Long Images tall_Image (more than 768 pixels tall) wide_image (more than 1280 pixels wide) File Size huge_filesize (post exceeds 10 MB) Illustration Source comic scan wallpaper (exactly matches common screen sizes) Priority: Level 1 - Composition and Foreground Graphic Details These tags are used to identify things happening in the foreground.

Age (characters at different/alternate ages) adult child teenage young Artistic Errors error bad_anatomy bad_feet bad_hands bad_perspective bad_proportions poorly_drawn Note: Error tags are the only technically subjective tags approved for use on Gelbooru, due to their relations with the highly subjective nature of its Moderation. Background and Scenery background checkered_background simple_background Scenery indoors jungle mountain Location Real World Locations, see tag_group:real_world_locations Objects in Background They usually carry a suffix (in picture). Time of Day day night twilight Weather blizzard blue_sky cloudy_sky / cloud fog rain snowing / snow sun Priority: Level 3, Additional Artistic Details, Canons and Memes These tags are for those with an intimate knowledge of the of the images they are searching for, such as artistic techniques, celebrities and family relationships.

The importance of tagging these details may be under debate, as they can either make or break the searchability of our images depending on the situation. Characters that appear far in the background Characters which are only partially visible Characters whose point of view is the subject of the image Pitfalls Please check if tags have been accidentally created, usually due to a spelling error or simply things like cultural differences between taggers. Such tags can be identified on the left side of a post's full view. If you see any tags with a count of exactly 1, those tags may have been accidentally created. Different taggers may have different words to describe the same actions, objects and events. Familiarizing yourself with the tag_groups is particularly important to find out which tags Gelbooru uses. If you have any issues, it will be best to consult the forums.
