Now that the Idolmaster 1 implication has been created, it'll need a wiki to be created. Additionally, can someone point to a good image or set of images that can help distinguish the differences between the first game and the rest of the classic series. @feline_lump maybe, since you seemed to know something about the redesigns...? If we have something to go by, then others like myself can help tag garden this and get that tag populated.

Good references for the Idolmaster 1 and 2 casts: post #169338, post #1179790.

Amami Haruka, Kisaragi Chihaya, Hagiwara Yukiho, Takatsuki Yayoi, and Otonashi Kotori (not shown) are unchanged between the two games.

Akatsuki Ritsuko has twin braids in 1 and a folded ponytail in 2. She does appear with twin braids in certain costumes from 2 onward, however. She was also the only character redesigned again for Idolmaster Platinum Stars (the next major entry in the series), appearing with a single braid (post #2264152).

Minase Iori has her hair brushed back in 1, and one large lock of hair brushed over her forehead in 2. (Not sure if there are good tags for these.)

Miura Azusa has long hair in 1 and short hair in 2.

Futami Ami and Futami Mami both have short ponytails in 1. In 2, Futami Mami is identifiable by her regular side ponytail.

Kikuchi Makoto's hair is slightly longer in 2 than it is in 1, reaching below her ears.

Hoshii Miki's hair is less spiked in 2 and frequently rests over her shoulders. Awakened Miki appears only in 1 and was seemingly retconned out of the franchise entirely, although from a glance there are a couple "what if" posts combining the short hair and her modified hairstyle from 2.

Ganaha Hibiki and Shijou Takane debut in the Idolmaster SP spinoff of 1 (which seems to generally not be tagged) and are unchanged in 2.

I've added Live for You, Platinum Stars, and Stella Stage to request #1328.

I notice there's an idolmaster_(game) tag. I don't know if any of the current images are referencing a particular entry in the franchise, but if not, the tag should be emptied out since it's redundant now (wiki can note Idolmaster 1 is for the original game and Idolmaster (classic) the catch-all tag).

The bulk update request #1328 has been approved.

Sorry to ask, but shouldn't we also have some translated tags for the idolmaster_(classic) tag?
Whenever I upload a character from the "classic" game, I get idolmaster as a translated tag. While this is still correct, I think the translated tags should go to idolmaster_(classic).

The problem is that the Pixiv アイドルマスター tag and the like does not reflect the usage of the idolmaster_(classic) tag here at all. It's also added to images that only feature characters from Cinderella Girls, Million Live, etc., so it would keep getting suggested as a translated tag for a lot of posts where it wouldn't be applicable.
