Tag/forum noob here. Say I want to create a new tag, that's very easily objectively defined, non-ambiguous, and has plenty of examples. Is it necessary to propose the tag here first, or do I simply add it to the images in question? It would also be related to two tag groups, and I don't necessarily know how to edit those.
jjj14 used tail_hole once for post #18850, which was also the first tag name I thought of when looking through your images. That would not be limited to only panties.
Except post #1217307post #18850 are less holes cutout of conventional clothing, and more clothing designed to accommodate a tail. For that I'd lean for tail_hole rather than tail_cutout.
I understand what you are concerned about, but *_cutout tags are all about clothing specifically designed to show something that usually isn't visible. And tail_hole tag name isn't any more accurate regarding post #1217307 or post #18850 than tail_cutout, neither of them features actual "holes" used to let out a tail.
tail_cutout does have consistency with other tags, such as heart_cutout, cleavage_cutout, ass_cutout, navel_cutout, and revealing_cutout that are meant to describe clothing with a missing section that reveals certain characteristics. There is the issue with posts as outlined by Serlo, however that's also the case with many posts in the *_cutout line of tags; very few are literally cut out of the clothing. I would prefer tail_cutout mainly for consistency, but also because using anything else would warrant extra scrutiny of the other *_cutout tags, generating more work than just creating a tag.
If it has to be tail_hole for clothes designed to accommodate a tail, shouldn't it also be cleavage_hole for clothes designed to flaunt one's booby canyon?
Of course, my entire argument hinges on the assumptions that consistency matters and that people don't want more work than necessary. I'm probably wrong on at least one of these.
I've just stumbled upon post #600501 and I'm not sure how to tag it (also see post #600496 from the same artist). Maybe ass_cutout? Or tail_cutout, if we decide to use it, or both?
Another issue I can see is a large overlap between tail_cutout and ass_cutout. Most of the time images with tail_cutout would also fall under the ass_cutout tag, at least I can't remember any exceptions at the moment. So maybe it's better to alias tail_cutout to ass_cutout and use it in conjunction with tail_through_clothes where needed?
+1 for using tail_through_clothes and ass_cutout independently. After which the tail_cutout tag will be redundant with tail_through_clothes ass_cutout search, so I think we don't need that. Not sure if aliasing tail_cutout -> ass_cutout is necessary since the former tag only has 6 posts at the moment.
