Ambiguous tags?
This is just a quick question, when I put in the "loli" tag, a box pops up stating that the Loli tag is ambiguous. What exactly does that mean?

I have no idea what the purpose of "ambiguous" tags is, nor do I know why someone made loli an ambiguous tag (and not shota, which is way harder to judge, imo). In any case, it's now just a normal tag again.

Ambiguous tags? There's a help file entry for that...

Ah, <<hypnohub.net/help/tags|here>> it is, at the very bottom.

The Help Files say:
Tag ambiguity is handled much in the same way that Wikipedia handles ambiguity. Users who search for an ambiguous tag are directed to a disambiguation page on the wiki, where they can clarify what they want to search for.


For an example of a disambiguation page on wikipedia, look <<en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufus_(disambiguation)|here>>.

Ambiguous tags are basically tags that lead to a page that displays all the versions of the tag. For example, let's say, for example, there were 5 characters named Bob. If the "Bob" tag is ambiguous and you searched Bob, you will reach a page that asks you to choose which "Bob" tag you're looking for.

Honestly, we don't use ambiguous tags. Perhaps we should eventually implement them in certain places, but that's a conversation for another time in another thread.
