==Minimum Relevance Rule==
Tags should only be applied if it meets the a minimum level of relevance. For example, if someone wears a hat for 5 seconds in a hat store, this is not relevant to the character as it is not part of their standard attire. Another example, if an anime has a 5 second flashback in the desert, the desert is not a relevant setting location to be tagged.
 
==Tag Images==
In general, tag images should prioritise functionality; they should clearly and unequivocally portray the concept being tagged, without also being overcrowded with other taggable concepts.
<br><br>
Images that excessively portray memes are highly discouraged for any tag relating to basic concepts being tagged (i.e., a large portion of the tags in the database).  That being said, there are some tags that lend themselves to being memes; in such cases, a meme image is acceptable as long as it is not excessive.
<br><br>
For objects tags, such as a sword, an image of just the object is usually better than showing a character wielding the object. If the object is going to be wielded, there should be only 1 character in the image, maximum, to reduce distraction. Real life images of objects are also allowed, and in some cases (such as clothing tags), real life images will portray the concept better than an anime image.
<br><br>
In terms of technical aspects, tag images should follow these guidelines:
#Images of poor quality (artifacting, banding, etc) will be rejected.
#Do not submit images with transparency.
#Images of .jpg format are preferred over .png, .gif, .bmp, and .jpeg formats.
#Always try to fit as much of the maximum image resolution allowed. In general, this is only to be avoided if the image requires upscaling and upscaling cannot be done at reasonable quality.

==General Guidance on Weighting Porn-Related Tags==
Applying weights to porn tags is a subjective matter that requires some discretion. In general, we can use weights to indicate the quantum of how much/often the tagged concept is used in the anime.
However, things that are too difficult to quantify due to volume of use[1] or too subjective to try and weight[2] will not get weights.
====Notes====
[1]Example: {{short|t5527|spanking}}: it typically happens way too often within a porn entry. Is 5 spanks 1.0 star weight? What if it's 5 spanks in an entry with only 5 spanks total, is that 3.0 stars then? What about 100 spanks in 1 episode of a 12 episode porn entry? Is that 3.0 stars due to the high absolute value of 100, or 1.0 stars since it only happens once across 12 episodes?<br>
[2]Example: {{short|t5406|submission}}, just how much submission is 1 vs 3 stars? Does the intensity of the submission matter, the number of occurrences of submission, or both? How do we measure these against each other? Does it make a difference if someone was paid to be submissive vs mentally broken into submission?
====Illustrative Example====
This is an '''illustrative''' example; it is '''NOT''' to be taken as the "''be-all-end-all''" definition.
: The {{short|t6443|wooden horse}} tag can be weighted. For example, if there's 3 sex scenes and the wooden horse is only used for 1 play in 1 scene, then it's probably low weight like 1 star. However, if the entire scene is spent like 80% in the wooden horse, it's probably 1.5 stars or 2.0 stars. If 2/3 scenes use a wooden horse, it's probably in the 2.0 to 3.0 range. Use some discretion.

It contains several real world nationalities, such as China, Japan (now Area 11), India, etc, along with fictional nationalities such as Britannia.
