Also, this is off-topic, but when I type in tags my little pony: g3 or my little pony: g3.5 and search, I get no results. At first I thought the symbol : causes issues, but the G4 and G5 tags work just fine.

• error (red): invalid/ambiguous tags
• origin (purple, director: ⁽¹⁾ and artist: namespaces): Artists and directors
• character (teal): canon characters
• oc (magenta, oc: namespace): original characters
• species (brown): self-explaining
• body-type (grey): the “pairing” tags like adult/cub, plus their component parts (e.g. feral, anthro, boy…), and various related body-shape and age terms (e.g. kid, shota, plantigrade, slender, chubby etc.)
• content-official (yellow): franchises, series, brands, holidays…
  • Note that with a few exceptions, unlike e621 we don’t do company-level copyrights. I believe “Disney” is the only significant one (unless you count a couple thematic ones like “mascot” and “holiday”). There’s a couple other tags that may be created or evolve into that but only have one character in them so far (studio ghibli, kelloggs, marvel…).
• content-fanmade (pale pink, series: namespace): fanmade settings and image series that do not require a specific galery order
• spoiler (orange): this is was repurposed as the category for medias/techniques/tools
• rating (blue): there are currently seven rating tags tags:
  • “safe” cannot be combined with other rating tags
  • “suggestive”, “nude only”, and “explicit” are sexual ratings, only one of them can be used on an image
  • “grimdark”, “grotesque” and “non-con” are (I think) otherwise normal tags assigned to the “rating” category and can be used in any combination together or with sexual ratings (but not with “safe”)

I see.
I just found multiple instances of the same misspelling: huamnoid penis

Also I don’t know if it’s possible to alias tags that don’t currently exist, but I think aliasing oc x canon and oc/canon to canon/oc would add convenience, the order of the characters listed doesn’t matter anyway.

if you see a tag with listed use count higher than the actual images or no actual images, that’s because blacklisted tags are bafflingly still created and have their uses increased when attempts are made to apply them!

genderbend + crossgender (used on E621)

I found the tag “commando” interesting, it’s not used just because the character has no underwear, but because they’re also wearing clothing that would normally suggest presence of underwear (pants, shorts, skirt, dress).
