Proposal for an "Alice allusion"-type tag

Alright! But can we also count the allusion of other characters of the AIW as well (provided the respective characters alluded to in any post are correctly tagged)? If yes, this would mean the Mad Matter, the rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, etc. would also be covered, but that would require a ton of character-specific considerations akin to allusions of Alice Liddell the character (which definitely seems to be the main source of the pool of posts we're talking about in this topic here)

I'm not sure what you're getting at here, but any characters beyond Alice specifically is beyond the scope of the tag. If we start putting queen of hearts archetype focus images in an "Alice allusion" tag we have well and truly lost the plot. If a queen of hearts allusion happens to also be in an alice-focus picture, that's just a neat coincidence.

Either way I don't think the rest of the cast of characters have designs as codified as miss Alice herself is, at least not anything that people are likely to want to search for simultaneously. also you keep calling her alice liddell which is incorrect, the original novels never give alice a last name. liddell is a popular choice in derivative works due to lewis carrol's relationship to the real life human alice liddell If you want to make a "Mad Hatter allusion" tag or a "Cheshire Cat allusion" tag, make your own favgroup and submit your own BUR.

Took into account the feedback and gardened my favgroup with the examples here I felt made the cut (thought the bigger tags I only did, like, ten pages of), and now I feel like the tag we want is starting to take shape, which I think is good.

There's also a lot of these floating around in original that don't have enough specifics going on for an AIW copytag: post #8464204, post #2040991, post #7426045, post #7764386, etc.

I'd also add to your list of common traits: visual motifs of clocks/watches, rabbits, playing cards, teacups, and mushrooms.

Oh definitely. In fact, part of my desire for this tag is in fact those in the original tag you simply cannot find any other way.

I mentioned this in topic #31190, but given your guys' efforts, I think y'all are more suited to figuring out how to split the Alice in Wonderland and Alice (Alice in Wonderland) tags into non-Disney and Disney versions.

I'd suggest perhaps moving the novel tag to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as that's the original name and also qualifying the disney film with (disney) because its still ambiguous even if we do that. I can submit a BUR to the other topic later.
