Does copyright name hashtag in commentary count as language_commentary?

Posted under General

Recently while browsing Arknights art I noticed quite a lot of it was tagged korean_commentary despite the bulk of the commentary not being in Korean: this was mostly due to the stock hashtag list "#Arknights #アークナイツ #명일방주 #明日方舟" common on Twitter art of the game counting as Korean for @NNTBot

Examples: post #5571463, post #5578552, post #5574807

Is it correct or incorrect to label commentary containing a language purely for its use in a "copyright"-only hashtag? Either way, there's a lot to edit based on that

I never add a language commentary tag if the only text to translate is a copyright and/or character name, however I will add just commentary. The only times when I use a language commentary tag is when the text to translate isn't a simple proper noun, including if it's just one simple word like "love".

Note that the sample posts you linked are incredibly old additions of the tag (up to 2 years ago) and were likely chalked up by a script picking up on the plaintext and not ignoring links. Nowadays, just commentary and hashtag-only commentary should suffice for cases like that. The first two cases are english commentary and the second is just commentary (the only text is a proper noun).

tl;dr Above. I don't consider meta when applying commentary tags.

Untitled is another exception I make and only add commentary since it's literally the work not having a title, the original language that it's written in seems to depend on the artist's locale. I would consider "untitled" somewhat of a meta thing.

Got it, thanks.

There's also a lot of "untitled"s that end up as language commentary, would those be the same or different?

Untitled is still text, not a link or anything, you should translate it or commentary request it (there's a bot that runs every now and then that auto-translates it in a few languages like Japanese, Chinese, Korean, so you don't have to do it manually if you want). If it were excluded or considered meta then it would be listed.
