Tag implication: verniy_(kantai_collection) -> remodel_(kantai_collection)

Posted under Tags

How would verniy_(kantai_collection)_(cosplay) fit into this? Should that be given the remodel tag? Because if this implication is approved then it would.

Going into the other ones, you get the likes of http://danbooru.me/posts/2251534 which is a picture of U-511 (the pre-remodel version) cosplaying as Ro-500 (the post-remodel version). The two are sufficiently different in appearance that Ro-500 is generally treated on this site as a completely different character, unlike with the Verniy/Hibiki example - most images tagged with Ro-500 are not also tagged with U-511. Should this image then be given the remodel tag?

If asked this way: I'd say they are cosplaying a remodel. The remodel, as far as I've understood it changes the appearance of the character as well or mainly the appearance.
That's how I see it.

As obvious as this seems, more discussion actually needs to be put into this. When the tag was created in topic #9920, one of the suggestions was that named remodels should not be placed under this tag, because the tag was primarily intended to cover characters who lacked a name change but had a visual change when they're upgraded. There is also the aspect that the more characters that are placed under the tag, the more it actually diminishes the utility of the tag when performing searches of specific characters, so cutting out characters who don't need the the tag generally improves accuracy for other characters.

As an example, Ro-500 alone would add nearly 1,800 images to the remodel tag that currently has around 9,500 images. Add in Verniy who has about 1,400 images and that'd add around 1,300 more images currently to the remodel tag. Those two characters start accounting for around 24% of all the images under the tag.

I agree with named models not being included. It makes certain things harder to search, not easier. See Ryuuhou, for instance, who has another remodel with a distinct appearance. Searching for that form is completely screwed up by an implication.

I agree that adding the remodel tag to the named remodeled characters would diminish its usefulness as a searching tool. As more characters get visually distinct second remodels it will generally become harder to find any one character. Not adding it to Verniy, Ro and the others will help the tag stay useful.

So you keep saying that the usefulness goes away if these characters will be added?
I don't really see this since it could be simply be stated in the remodel wiki that there are four characters that imply this tag. This way, the searches have an more exact image what they'll get if they search with this tag and adapt the searching tool by making an minus search like remodel_(kantai_collection) -verniy_(kantai_collection) (<- Would kick out nearly every verniy pic in there).
But I also see this isn't a strong argument since a search tool is here to reach a high amount of pics. The minus function is nice but I'm not really happy with this one either...

Well, but it would also kick out other characters with an actual remodel_(kantai_collection) tag (eg. Yuudachi Kai Ni, Shigure Kai Ni...) who happen to appear in these Verniy pics, so I don't think this is a good idea.

Anyway, I do agree that these tags should be left alone, as it allows for more precise tag searching.

Yup, I can agree to these reasons.
Well, I leave these implications alone but I think albert is going to reject them^^.

Some do not bother even using the remodel tag. For example, using "yuudachi_(kantai_collection) -remodel_(kantai_collection)" still shows results with the red-eyed Yuudachi remodel, not just those of the green-eyed Yuudachi base form.

Hmm, ok, I see. So the remodel tag needs a bit of a clean up then instead of adding fix characters (who are already remodeled) into it. That can be quite difficult since I for example does only know how Yuudachi looks in her remodeled form (red eyes). The other ones...it's quite difficult to identify them (for example Shigure).

You can easily recognize both Yuudachi and Shigure's remodeled forms by their distinct hair flaps.

The tag implication verniy_(kantai_collection) -> remodel_(kantai_collection) has been rejected.

The hair flaps have already been mentioned, but you can also identify Shigure's second remodel by her hair ornament.
