Ambiguous "skull hat" tag

Posted under Tags

BUR #3214 has been approved by @evazion.

mass update skull_hat -> skull-shaped_hat
mass update skull_helmet -> skull_on_head

I created skull on head today because I couldn't find any other tag for that specific concept, but then discovered that some of those posts were being tagged as skull hat, which is for pokemon-style hats shaped like skulls.

I think the concept should be separated, because real skulls (especially animal ones) worn on the head are not hats and look nothing like hats.

EDIT: The bulk update request #3214 (forum #170865) has been approved by @evazion.

Skull_print_hat (or headwear) seems like a better fit, as most under skull_hat look to just be print designs rather than the shape of a skull. There is also the skull_helmet tag, which seems duplicative of skull_on_head, perhaps it should be aliased to it.

I didn't find skull helmet, it looks like what I was searching for. But yeah that too is an ambiguous tag. Added to the BUR.

I'm not sure about the print part, because in the specific case of pokemon it's not a "print" but the whole hat shaped like a skull, just baggy like a hat.

That style of headwear is often referred to as a skullcap or skullcap_hat. I can definitely see why skull_hat would've been used to tag it.

well both skullcap and skull cap look to be used as another name for beanie or just errantly. I don't think a type of winter wear and skull attire need to share a tag so those two can be updated or aliased to beanie in my opinion.

What about post #2574700?

What about it, exactly? If you are asking if it would be a skull print hat or a skull shaped one, I don't know about being skull print, since it looks like a living being of some kind, but it doesn't at all look to be in the shape of a skull.

Well, I ask because that hat comprises the majority of the skull_hat tag (48 out of 66 are in skull_hat pokemon), so we can't just call the tag skull_print_hat if most of it doesn't look like it has a skull print.
