Tag clarification, help

hand_to_chest and hand_on_chest. Neither have wikis, and as a result there is little in the way of differentiating the two. This was brought to my attention when I tagged an image as hand_on_chest but someone else added the hand_to_chest tag later. If the two are synonymous, then we only need one tag, but if the two should be different, then we need to define what constitutes what.

The only way hand to chest would be useful if we want to use it to have a character put his or her hand on another character's chest, otherwise an alias would do.

hand_to: fingertips touching or aiming

hand_on: full hand contact

I prefer them separate.
Ambiguous ones fit "hand on" more than "hand to".

Haha, I should have erased yours but I didn't notice. :)

Nah, it'd be more useful to separate the tags as self and non-self touching. Wrote a little wiki for them.

We lack a proper way to adress the action performed on self/other issue.
This one is just a case among others, and this specific solution here can't work everywhere.

Well, not every case has to be solved in the same way, it depends on the tag's significance. Case in point is the various tags to separate hand/hands, arm/arms but then we only need outstretched hand. I think as long as there is a balance between specific tagging and ease for the taggers then it's good.
