BIG tagging changes! MUST READ if you are a tagger!
Quick breakdown:

1. 1girl is becoming 1girls
2. solo_female, solo_male, solo_futa will be REMOVED (Use female_only/male_only/futa_only with the "solo" tag instead)
3. use 1futa/2futas/3futas for futanari characters

1girls

So I think, or hope, that by now people know about the site's busted aliasing system. Well one tag that has been effected by it is "1girl" was unfortunately is aliased to "female". This essentially means that searching the tag "1girl" instead searches for "female"...which means that the "1girl" tag cannot fulfill its intended purpose of specifying that exactly one girl exists in a post.

Why does this matter? Well if you were to search "1girl threesome" you will not get a threesome image with a single girl, instead you would get every variant...threesomes with 1 girl, 2 girls, or even all girls...because the tag is just searching for "female".

To remedy this we're going to have to change the tag. Me and Kielan have decided on "1girls"...grammatically incorrect, but the simplest change possible...only adding a single letter to the previous tag. Please use this tag from now on, and in the same way you would use "1girl". One day when the aliasing system is fixed we can and will go back to "1girl".

solo_female/solo_male/solo_futa/solo_whatever REMOVED

These tags don't need to exist and only add to the bevy of gendered tags. I've stated this before in the tags discussion. If you want to see a solo female then there is a simple two-term search you can use: solo female. These combo tags do not need to exist.

Their only use is to facilitate blacklisting....however if you don't wish to see one male or one female...then it stands to reason you wouldn't wish to see an entire group of them. So instead of using these tags we should just use the female_only/male_only/futa_only tags instead. These tags facilitate blacklisting, but also have the added benefit of being real, useful tags for people who want to see images featuring ONLY those genders.

So if I were to upload an image of a solo female the tags I should use are: 1girls female female_only solo

1futa/2futas/3futas/etc.

While we are on the subject of the 1girls tag I think it's time we separated futas from the xgirls line of tags. You would not (or should not) tag a futanari character as "female" so then it makes little sense to specify them as one with another tag. I have seen the xfutas tags becoming more and more popular and many users are tagging them in, but I'm writing it here to make it more official that these tags are correct and should be used whenever referring to futa characters.

In addition to just being correct this will allow for greater granularity in searching. for instance you could search "2girls 2futas foursome" and expect to get a foursome of that exact makeup, whereas before you could only search "4girls futanari foursome" and get anywhere from 1 to 4 futas in the resulting images. More specificity will benefit everyone.

When is this all happening? UPDATE: IT HAPPENED

Whelp...I've finally completed work on removing the offending tags as you can see here:

1girl (has been changed to 1girls): bit.ly/2PoW7UE
solo_male: bit.ly/2Ds2ems
solo_female: bit.ly/2Utlju4
solo_futa: bit.ly/2Pq0wqz

These tags now return no results (or very few results...people could tag a few back in since I typed this). You may also notice that these tags still have very high tag counts, especially "1girl" which appears to have 60k+ entries. Well just know that is a bug, in reality these tags are removed. Now that I've done the work of smashing these tags down hopefully we can keep them removed and not tag them back in. Thanks!

"Uhm, lets see, uh 1boy-aa .. 1girls .." not sure If I can bypass the autocorrect. I do manual tagging, but that doesn't mean my brain will not be on auto-pilot :p

I'd suggest going for the underline form for all such tags (1_boy 1_girl 5_girls), but since the booru's already use the non-underline form, there will be conflicts with the bot army tag migration.

That would require wayyyyyy more work than simply changing 1 tag.

In his defense, the "r" and "l" are hard to differentiate in many languages, being made with the same tongue inflexion, only slightly vibrated in R and static in L.

Knowing your L's:

I'm a tagger and this does not help me spread my tagger-name on public walls around town.

Oh, perfect. Can't wait to axe those solo tags, they were so pointless. The 1girls thing is a shame, but hopefully the workaround will be better!

Yes sorry it's been slow going so far...been distracted with irl stuff but it's still in the works.

I apreciate the effort to inform you better, however, this exact message was already on the pinned Tag thread, you didn't need to revive this old thread...

Anyway, at least you do it in good faith.
