"anthology". Give.

Hold your horses on that one. IIRC it was one of the very few tags that had the honour of being unanimously blacklisted by all of the active tag mods (at the time).

I'll mull on "Tankoubon" over the weekend.

Who knows if Tenboro will ever do anything

I might. An additional condition for number of pages doesn't really add any overhead since searches involve a table scan anyway. The original reason why stuff with ranges is bad is that it increases the vary, which basically means that searches become less cacheable because people use different values. However, that was more or less sacrificed to add language filtering anyway, and we also have a lot more solid infrastructure now, as well as more clever subresult caching.

It does mean I have to add that field to the index table, which I can't do until the next maintenance period. Though there will likely be one of those next week or the one after, for unrelated reasons.

The post date condition was removed mostly due to a combination of disuse, complexity, the previously mentioned vary factor (which isn't that relevant anymore), and the fact that the code involved was really ugly and inefficient.

Sounds encouraging. ^^

Post date, though, is definitely not something I'm concerned about. Publication date (of the work a gallery shows) might be neat, but not post date.

If it was blacklisted for a good reason, then you can tell me that reason, or you can get them in here to tell me, or you can just tell me your own reason for disliking it.

I've already given one great case for it's usefulness, with fencing off the extracted stories of a magazine. It'd also be a nice shortcut if I didn't want to see all the translated dross, or if I wanted some galleries with lots of pages and different artists to easily browse. As far as I'm concerned, the first reason alone is enough reason to allow it.

I guarantee there is not 1 person in existence who knows when their spank material was published. The closest thing are convention indicators because people know something was released on say... Comiket 83 (and they don't know when C83 was).

or you can just tell me your own reason for disliking it.

You'll have to search for the others' reasoning. As for me it's more along the lines of:

1) No one searches for all anthologies, they usually know which one they want by name
2) The wiki articles cover finding specific ones very well
3) Anyone trying to get/avoid translated portions can do something like ±english "comic *"


Actually, come to think of it... outside of tanks isn't all of the Manga category basically anthologies anyhow?

My point is more that publication date is far more useful than post date, really. Post date is a completely arbitrary data point. The only reason it would matter would be if you hadn't seen any galleries for a month or something - and then, you can very simply browse back that far.

1) More accurately, "no one searches for all anthologies" because they can't, at the moment... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
2) Not sure what you're talking about, but not sure it's very relevant in either direction, either.
3) Point.

Broadly, Manga is mainly comprised of tanks (we'll include full tank translations here), anthologies (inc. magazines), and chapter translations (inc. multiple chapters less than a tank). Though it's a little rare, there are also a small number of galleries for multiple raw chapters.

I just find it exceedingly odd that you might allow two large sections ("tankoubon" and "translated") of Manga to be targeted, but not the third. (Now if only we actively tagged l:"japanese", we could even narrow in on the multiple raw chapters galleries, with l:japanese -tankoubon -anthology. =P )

Hmm... how about a(n optional) [en.wikipedia.org] tag cloud for the favorites page?

I just realized you can finally filter out every translation from the main page... This site is now perfect, thanks so much for implementing this feature (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So we can get searching by size but we'll never get a way to select namespace without typing it in for every single tag. You could just put a row of buttons above/below the tag box for selecting.

People the reason anthology is blacklisted is basically the third reason joe gave. They all have comic in their name so they already have a way to search them.

Not all of them. Anyways I'm considering a tankoubon tag which would really be all that is needed anyhow since the Manga category is mostly tanks and anthologies anyhow.

Can the tag "tall girl" stop showing up under "giantess" tag searches? It's a major inconvenience with the galleries that these groups are overlapped.

Done.

please add a way to delete all files in a gallery so file updates can be done easier.

Can't you just do that in the Maintain Galleries section?


Anyway, I would want to see the progress of a image/archive's upload when a person uploads into the galleries. So far, only Chrome has that feature by itself, and since the new gallery update the Greasemonkey script I was using for this situation became useless.

Yes but you have to delete them one at a time, which is slow if you have a big gallery.

A "newly added tags" list somewhere on the main gallery page. Like the 1-5 latest tags that have been officially sanctioned & added to the wiki.
Rationale: a) It'll get more people to look at the overall list of tags we have available, if you combine it with a link "here's a list of the other tags we have".
b) (and this is the main reason) It'll help all those people who looked over the list in the past but did not see the tag(s) they like to look for the most. Or the tags they're interested in were blacklisted/grouped in the past but have become available again. Particularly for tags that only come up rarely, there's a good chance it'll take months or even years for someone to notice the tag has been reinstated unless he looks over most/all of the newly uploaded galleries or he tries looking for old galleries with the tag via downvoted tag search.

As for how to add those tags to that list, I think the tag mods could do that - it'd be a matter of copy-pasting a single name to a form and clicking a button. And it's not like we add XY new tags every day.

There should be a futanari namespace, just like there is a namespace for the other genders imo.

No.

On the "Maintain Galleries" page, have a section for the "[x] newest galleries" you've uploaded.

And if you don't want it to show up, you can disable it (or enable it if it's not on by default, whichever)

For bounty section, how about adding an option to filter the search results by poster? That way, it would be easy for me to direct a bounty hunter a list of bounties that only I've posted. "Just search under my name."

This would benefit other bounty posters who've put up multiple bounties as well.

Errrr i would like to request a bounty search option based on bounty created date, not the updated date.
