canopy

It's something about Macross, but it probably needs to be renamed too.

*Checks tagged examples*

Think it refers to the "canopy" covering the cockpit section of aircraft. Macross variable fighters often have prominent ones. Wrote the wiki accordingly.

Prolly needs a rename to canopy_(aircraft) or something.

Deadpan is a bit all over the place with it's tagging.

Did a quick write-up but it probably should be aliased to expressionless. Though it can cover body language and manner of speech, I suppose.

nipples added some tags. Need check a tags without wiki.
Minor tags, or related to the main (color) did not added. Minor tags with few posts do not require a wiki, but a cleanup consideration.

I'm noticing that yoshi_(moco1) doesn't have a wiki page here on Danbooru. How can I get a wiki page for an artist started? Should there be prerequisites like artist quirks or something? Because they seem to have a habit of deleting some of their art on Twitter for some reason.

Most artists don't have wiki pages because they're usually unnecessary. The only things you would want in them are things that would be of direct interest to uploaders/taggers, and not things like where they're from or whatever.

To create an artist wiki you have to create a new wiki page with the same name as the artist's tag. I'd say warning people that an artist frequently deletes their posts is appropriate information for our wikis.

I usually mention Chinese and Korean artists in their wikis in hope that it would help guide people to use the corresponding Chinese text and Korean text tags (making it easier for translators to find them), though admittedly I'm not sure whether it works.

Some artists also post different language versions on Pixiv, so I hope the above might help provide information to uploaders about which language version to choose when uploading. Or at least which one should be the primary and which should be tagged alternate_language.

It's also pretty helpful in the cases of artists who have separate accounts for different copyrights to denote which account to go to for more of a certain kind of content.

Mentioning personal information like real names, locations, nationality, or gender should be done with care, as I occasionally get takedown requests because of this. We've also had a case where an artist became a VTuber and 4chan started citing our wiki as a source of dox.

Could some expert on faulds and tassets edit wiki?

• Faulds sound like horizontal bands of metal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faulds_(plate_armour)
• Tassets are plates hanging https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tassets
• Kusazuri are japanese equivalent of tassets
• Hip_armor has no wiki

Some are listed under groin section in list of armor

Perhaps hip_armor and tassets could be aliased from faulds

kusazuri are the japanese faulds. I guess one should imply the other.

Painfully cringe wiki. Requesting a rewrite.

Edit: Thanks, NNT.

Long beard.

Any idea how long it has to be to be tagged that? Does it have to be a full beard or not? I wanted to create it myself but I'm not sure how to go about it.

I would say similar to how long hair is longer than shoulder length, a long beard would reach past the collarbones. Additionally, a very long beard could reach the navel or past it.
