Topic: [APPROVED] *_only (clothing) tag implications BUR

The bulk update request #9688 is active.

Reason: Most of these should be pretty self-explanatory and straightforward.

Some which could be added but I'm not sure about:

• imply swimwear_only -> swimwear (swimwear_only just seems like a bit of a weird tag to me but on the surface it makes sense)
• imply belt_only -> mostly_nude (I feel like this makes sense to me logically, but it might not fall within the wiki's current definition for mostly_nude of having nothing on the torso)

Edit: Regarding the duplicate implications for beanie_only the tag could be aliased away if desired after the implications are made (as suggested in one of the previous forum posts).

EDIT: The bulk update request #9688 (forum #424510) has been approved by @furrypickle.

This would be a problem for ferals with a bracelet_only, causing them to be tagged nude when they shouldn't be (ferals are assumed nude, and get tagged clothed_feral when not). I also notice it getting used incorrectly a lot for bowser, when he's wearing spiked_bracelets on his wrists along with spiked_armbands on his upper arm and a spiked_collar (so not bracelet_only).

Alright, I removed that one. Is there anything else like that that would be an issue specifically with ferals? (I'll also note that I chose to implicate mostly_nude from thigh_highs_only since stockings_only already had that implication.)

Huh, so should all of boa_only, chastity_device_only, collar_only, eyewear_only, mask_only, and necklace_only have their nude implications removed, or are they restricted to non-ferals only

These should only be used on non-ferals, imo. When you'd tag collar_only it's because you'd usually be expecting the character to be wearing more than just a collar. A feral dog? That's pretty normal to just be wearing a collar and nothing else.

Unfortunately, people are going to tag these on ferals either way.

Reason: So what do you think? Should these *_only tags be exclusive to non-ferals?

This seems like it would be unnecessarily restrictive. While you could make an argument for collar_only being redundant with a feral, other tags like glasses_only or bracelet_only would not be so redundant, and would be useful to distinguish between ferals wearing just glasses, or glasses with bracelets and/or necklaces, etc.

Tangentially, it seems a number of *_only tags are misused pretty often. bracelet_only collar_only is a somewhat common combo (before I cleaned them up, both tags referring to the same character), but who knows how many other *_only tags are used with a character wearing other things too.

I have been singing this song since oh so long ago, see topic #29983 & topic #34690.

The admin says we should not be tagging *_only on ferals (and should be using clothed_feral + aforementioned clothing).
However, unless there is a big red disclaimer on every *_only tag to NOT be tagging them on ferals, I don't think people will stop doing so.

Actually I do agree with the others here that it makes more sense to simply not use *_only tags with ferals since arguably the whole point of *_only tags is to imply some degree of nudity, but ferals are expected to be nude by default (and thus shouldn't be tagged nude). Perhaps I should re-add that particular implication to the BUR?
