wiki definition: seaside

recently encountered this yet it has no wiki definition and seemed to be underused.

found related terms beach and coast. the coast entry though has no definition, but it was mentioned in the beach entry.

i just want to clarify if seaside serves as a catch-all for the two terms: beach and coast? if yes, what is the definition we are going to adapt?

and if seaside is indeed a superset i also propose the following implication:
coast -> seaside
beach -> seaside

and if it's a no, meaning it's a totally different term, what is the definition to use to distinguish it for the rest?

There are a lot of undefined, underused tags floating around and more are made every week. I would say that seaside is an ambiguous and pointless tag. The main reason it isn't nuked, I think, is that it is to much work for only 33 post.

yes, i agree too. it's ok to create tags. but it would be better at least to leave a working definition in the wikis. we are not going to be in danbooru forever and leaving the decision to the taggers themselves to compare and contrast posts is not the best way to do it. especially judgment is highly subjective. and that create problems to those who do tag maintenance and pruning because there is no guarantee that after a clean up takes place that future taggers will not 'mess up' again.

regarding the seaside, i think i can 'nuke' it. among the three, beach is the largest but it seems to be not the problem. seaside is. so i ask for guidance from people concerned on what is the definition of the three terms. if at least, we can agree on their meaning, then i can volunteer myself to do it.

Between beach and coast we can probably cover it, but there are enough left in seaside I'm not sure about that I don't want to do anything with the tag yet.

seaside would invoke a whole set of parallel tags. Oceanside,riverside, and lakeside to name a few. However unless geographical location is specifically determined, there is no way to tell just what body of water these objects are "aside".

I vote for the removal, being in the dark as to what "nuke" portrays other than collateral damage.

Beach is a shoreline made of sand, gravel or other lose objects. Thus it is not made of cliffs or bedrock.

Coast is more ambiguous. The definition is "the area where land meats the ocean". Also there are only ten posts in this tag. I suppose we could use it for posts like post #20649 where the coastline can be seen from above but it feels like a rather unnecessary tag.

The ocean tag is a mess as well showing girls bathing in undefined waters that could well be both lakes and swimming pools. But I guess there is little we can do about that.

create alias seaside -> beach

While seaside could also technically include shore, I believe beach is what was meant with many of these tags.

Seaside cliffs lack any beach, but are still a seaside.

I believe shore is supposed to refer to seaside cliffs. It is unknown whether or not shore is also meant to refer to beaches. Perhaps seaside should be aliased to shore?

To clarify, the beach wiki makes it seem as if beach and shore are mutually exclusive.

I cleaned out the simple girl on beach posts and the ocean background posts. Im not sure what to do with the rest now. Is there really no seawall tag?

I've also seen shore used a lot for distant land on the horizon regardless of what type.

Why do we even have seaside and shore? Both can apply to every single post under beach. Seaside cliffs should get their own tag, but those two tags as it stands need to be nuked.

The bulk update request #7631 (forum #198716) has been rejected by @nonamethanks.

There doesnt seem to be a tag for a seawall, like post #497051. These images does not have a beach. There is also the general feel of post #2779905 that might warrant a tag. If these could be made, seaside could be cleared out.

We kinda need a tag for a shoreline where there is no visible beach such as in post #1019984. Rename to shoreline and clean?
