Tag Alias: fishnet_stockings -> fishnet_thighhighs

Posted under General

This entire fishnet_legwear thing is a VERY bad idea. Many people still don't tag the type of legwear that goes with black_legwear so this just adds another level of tag frustration. No longer can a person look up fishnets +thighhighs and immediately find images which both were formerly implicated by fishnet_stockings (I've already had to go through and correct images because of this). What is next, putting fishnet_pantyhose in that tag to make things even worse?

Footwear is only shoes/sandals...

I'd disagree with this. If half or more of a garnment's length covers the foot rather than the leg (as is the case for ankle and crew socks; by far the most frequent) it's difficult to justify calling them legwear. A pair of socks would need to be kneehighs (about the size you'd see used for soccer) or higher before they become legwear rather than footwear in my mind.

This. The very idea behind *_legwear tags was to minimize the number of color and pattern tags, and fishnets are really different from that. There were no problem with them to begin with.
Same goes for bow_thighhighs -> bow_legwear alias.

So far, these aliases did not accomplish anything because number of tags in use remains the same, only change is that now their names are more confusing.

I'm sure that it would be better to remove the alias and mass edit posts back to fishnet_thighhighs tag. Not sure about bow_legwear though, maybe this one can become useful in the future, maybe not.
