New tag: sheathed_only

BUR #59970 has been rejected.

mass update favgroup:55729 -> sheathed_only

When the image depicts one or more knives or swords, but all of them are sheathed.

This can works well with multiple swords, since there are many situations where one sword is unsheathed or unsheathing, while the other is sheathed on back.

When searching, simply removing sheathed will also remove many unsheathed swords, and searching for sheathed will also show many unsheathed swords. Searching for holding sword will also find quite a few sheathed swords.

I think having "sheathed_only" would be much more useful.

This just feels like padding. multiple swords already feels kind of worthless and nobody actually searches for it.

I don't think multiple swords is difficult to use. In my opinion, tags like multiple_* are types that need to be used with other tags, to find many different types of situations.
I think what's needed now is to add as many other tags as possible to search for situations that are harder to find, especially in complex situations with sheathed, unsheathed, unsheathing, no sheath, holding or not holding, etc.

Currently, many situations can only be tagged with multiple swords or multiple weapons without other suitable tags.

Not only for multiple swords, this can also be used for single sword or multiple characters.

Tags have to have a use. Making dozens of splintered sword-related tags that nobody else is going to use or look for is completely pointless. multiple swords is already of questionable use as a tag that is intended to tag random details rather than the actual content of the image, had a nuke proposed before, and gets a mere 30 searches a month.
Your proposed tag would be even more questionable because it would apply to every sheathed post that isn't also tagged with some other tag like holding sword or unsheathing or unsheathed or multiple swords even. Your favgroup has 103 posts but half of sheathed would apply.

What "sheathed_only" wants is "all of them are sheathed", no unsheathed, no unsheathing, so it can be implied as sheathed.

Or I have another idea.
Let sheathed & unsheathing, sheathed & unsheathed, unsheathing & unsheathed become tags while multiple swords, or combine these into one tag, like "mixed_unsheathed".
This would allow for better searching or filtering of such complex cases.

Looking at the sheathed tag, it looks like most of the time all weapons are sheathed, and you can do sheathed -unsheathed to exclude any unsheathed weapons.
