How to tag public artist templates / YCH commissions

Posted under General

Artist template

Artists share these either for fun or as preview for a collection they're monetizing.
Some of them get viral and/or get parodied, especially the works of sibi2028. I posted their most popular ones but they have like at least 20 more on their Postype, including hetero and yuri variants (the Twitter ones were deleted).

Examples

YCH commissions

Stands for "Your character here". They are commissions for predefined poses for a cheaper price. The artist shares the template and draws multiple different characters in the same exact pose.

Examples (note that most YCH tend to be NSFW but here's some SFW examples)
TLDR

Artist templates and YCH commissions are similar concepts in which different characters are drawn in the same pose.
I think that having this information visible on these posts is important.

The question is, how?
I've been making tags for the most popular ones (e.g pec grab and boob shadow) and in more niche cases adding derivative work + making a parent/child post relationship (but in more popular cases that isn't really an option).

There was some disagreement on how this should be handled in the discord server so I'm making this topic in hopes of finding a standardized way of dealing with this type of content.
