Now Viewing: howto:tag_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 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 include: badass, Disgustingly Adorable, and Clever 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 or 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 with artist: when creating a new tag) * If the artist does not currently have a tag on Gelbooru, consider creating a new one. If you don't know how to read their name to create a tag, consider asking in the forum topic Gardeners Guild: Discuss Tagging Here! forum #1706, where someone is likely to help you come up with a name for the tag. Copyright (prefix with copyright: when creating a new tag) Character (prefix with character: when creating a new tag) * Character lists from popular copyrights are available at tag_groups, in the Characters section. Source original * Use this tag for illustrations that feature characters that are not related to any kind of copyright. * Frequently, these characters appear only in the one illustration, and will not have a name. In these cases, it isn't necessary to include character tags for them; the original tag is enough. * Sometimes, such a character may become recurring, limited to a single artist, or multiple artists on a very small scale. (In this case, they may have names. Most such named original characters can be found in the list_of_original_characters.) Classification Rating * See: howto:rate * (use the Ratings choice list. sexually_suggestive Spoilers (Important: apply if image is a potential spoiler) Let's keep Gelbooru a spoiler-free community.

Important Note: If any of these tags are applied to an image, consider setting the Rating to Explicit, as it will often (but not always) be appropriate, and Gelbooru does not automatically do it for you. See howto:rate for precise guidelines regarding ratings. Cum/Ejaculation * cum, see tag for more information. ** cum_on_ass ** cum_on_lower_body ** cum_on_upper_body ** cum_in_pussy ** cum_in_ass * ejaculation Body Parts, see tag_group:body_parts * penis * pussy * anus Sexual Actions, see tag_group:sex_acts * sex Sexual Positions, see Tag_group:Sexual_positions * straddling Sexual Themes, see tag_group:sex_acts * bdsm * exhibitionism * group_sex * public_sex * rape defloration (bleeding from broken hymen) Objects, see tag_group:sex_objects Priority: Level 0-ii, Information and Requests These tags indicate if additional information about an image, such as translations or artist commentaries are available. Information Present translated * To be added only when the image is considered fully translated, see howto:translate. commentary * To be added only when a (fully translated, if necessary) commentary from the original artist is quoted in the comments of a post.

Priority: Level 0-iii, Technical Image Information and Source These tags are to used to identify specifications of an image such as pixel size (dimensions), file sizes and types of sources. 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.

Viewpoint * from_above * from_behind * from_below * pov Wear/Costume (Accessories) * hair_ornament Priority: Level 2, Background Graphic Details and Artistic Errors These tags identify things happening in the background. Adding these tags greatly enhance Gelbooru's searchability, possibly to the level of professional image databases such as GettyImages. Age * child * younger * teenage * older 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 moderation. * Background and Scenery ** Tag_group:Backgrounds *** 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. Celebrities/Real World People, see tag_group:people Characters, Implied * animalization * objectification * personification * Example: Cake Representing Patchouli Knowledge, post #553405 * Example: Cockroach Representing Wriggle Nightbug (meme), post #683925 Family Relationships, see tag_group:family_relationships * Note: requires intimate knowledge of Medium, Traditional * traditional_media * marker_(medium) * watercolor_(medium) * pencils_(medium) * These tags are only for art created without a computer (bar scanning or photography).

Memes, see tag_group:meme Artistic Technique, Method of Creation/Preparation * 3D * oekaki * pixel_art Text and Languages * chinese * japanese ** kanji * korean ** hangul (use korean) * russian Timestamps * year, see Tag_group:Year_tags Priority: Level 4, Microscopic Details These tags identify extremely minute details in the background, often missed by a glance. 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 general tags with a count of less than 5 (often 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.
