We’ll see how it stands the test of time. Personally, I think it adds a much-needed utility that we simply couldn’t achieve with the existing system.
And there’s already been 400 images tagged under this system; obviously we can’t go out and do them all at once, so it may take a month or two to catch up.

It means more crap I have to tag, which I don’t like doing. I already forget to add tags already, am I really going to put more crap on?
Do you see them all going out to tag? No? I just went through a few parent tags, and there’s maybe… one to five images each? Ideas pass. This will just add more clutter and be forgotten.
@VermiIIion
It’s a lot of work, but once we’ve gotten the existing images tagged, it doesn’t really add anything to the effort it takes to properly tag new images.
As for “no one uses them”, the fact that there’s enough interest in the topic to generate a reasonable discussion suggests otherwise.
@DragonWraith
But no one uses them? As far as I know, only you and, like, two other people are slowly adding these to offspring images. They’re just clutter. I sure as hell won’t be using them, they just seem incredibly pointless. I mean, do we really need a tag for everything?
If you want to make this a thing, you’re gonna have to go through the over 5k of images in the offspring tag, and that’s not even mentioning the magical lesbian spawn and untagged kids.
Also, the crack ships won’t have the added tags that you all have in your thread.
@VermiIIion
See this thread, and especially this post.
The gist of it is the existing system of “ship name, offspring” simply wasn’t working very well, so we came up with a new scheme. That’s what the parent: and parents: tags are for.
Who keeps adding this stupid “parents:” tags? They’re pointless.
If you want to see kids of a specific parent, just search “[insert ship here], offspring”.

On the one hoof, we have Twilight shipped with a fairly interesting, well designed, well fleshed-out character.
On the other hoof, we have Twilight shipped with a table. And not even a particularly interesting table, either, just a slab of wood and four sticks.
Hmm…
