I have a question, should we use the tag "official_alternate_costume" to tag seasonal CG(Skins) of the shipgirls? since they dont have a proper name like other franchises like FGO or AL.

If they're from an official source, then I think it would be the safest thing to do. That way, if such costumes wind up being given a name in the future, it'll make finding them a bit easier for populating the new chartag.

so why?

When we started migrating the remodel tags to their separate chartags, there were still a few users who either:

  • Simply forgot to read the memo
  • Were applying the same tags as earlier parent uploads without checking if the remodel tag was among them
  • Showed persistent failure to stop despite DMs sent

At that time, I also called for locking the tag from new entries in much the same way Wikipedia "salts" deleted articles to prevent their restoration. I didn't know that DB does have a similar system in place called "deprecating" until the BUR itself was sent.
And to be fair, it's done its job well in that we can fulfill our job of manually gardening the kai ni chartags without worry of being tagged remodel.

Ultimately, this thread would be relegated to a one-stop thread for aliasing all new kai ni chartags to the parent chartags.
