The user applekideb has taken upon himself to replace the penis_ribbon with a new tag: penis_attachment. Said something about how it's "a niche, and should not be further subdivided." Problem I find with the tag is that most, if not all, posts under the new tag have an actual ribbon in the image, and I have yet to see otherwise. Not to mention the ambiguity of the tag can include just about anything that's attached to the penis, such as condoms.
Any comments?

Well he directly switched it over from penis_ribbon, I'm sure he might find more material to fit into the penis_attachment tag... though somehow penis_attachment just doesn't seem all that obvious to me on what it is defining. Makes me think more of a strap on than something you put on a penis when seeing it.
I re-added the penis_ribbon tag to those images, I thought it was unique enough to remain existing. Not sure if you'd accurately find it with a penis_attachment ribbon search if things do start filling up the that more general tag.
My stance in short is that penis_ribbon at least right now should still exist, and I don't like the naming for penis_attachment and think another name would be better.
penis_ornament. And yes, it made me think of a strap-on as well.
Ornament, addition (the two _mean_ just about the same thing) are more specific, but I did not create the "penis_attachment" tag to be specific. By definition, you won't find many things in a niche, so it'd be pretty silly to split it up any further.
But I'm just a stranger, and so none of you will listen to me. Fine. Just keep the wiki entry, please (I think I did a rather good job on it).
I honestly thought that it was a bug--"that they changed back"--so I changed them again. I AM sorry about that.

I take that back. Ornament is better than addition in this sense (from Merriam-Webster):
or·na·ment \'?r-n?-m?nt\ n [ME, fr. AF urnement, ornement, fr. L ornamentum, fr. ornare] (13c)
1 archaic: a useful accessory
2 a : something that lends grace or beauty b : a manner or quality that adorns
3 : one whose virtues or graces add luster to a place or society
4 : the act of adorning or being adorned
5 : an embellishing note not belonging to the essential harmony or melody
ad·di·tion \?-'di-sh?n, a-\ n [addicion AF, fr. L addition-, additio, fr. addere] (14c)
1 : a part added (as to a building or residential section)
2 : the result of adding : increase
3 : the act or process of adding ; esp: the operation of combining numbers so as to obtain an equivalent simple quantity
4 : direct chemical combination of substances into a single product
There is already a tag for condoms, and I think I see what the problem is. We need to delete the condom tag (kidding, kidding). Go with ornament, since it's closer to what an artist would think of such a thing (definition no. 5 especially).

Yeah, go with penis_ornament. It matches up with hair_ornament and tail_ornament, the latter of which could probably be applied to a lot more things.
According to the wiki, penis_ornament includes catheters. I wouldn't consider a catheter to be an ornament, and the visual is already covered by the urethral_insertion tag. I've tweaked the wiki to reflect this, and some minor editing.
Also, we're keeping the penis_ribbon tag, since it's a subset of penis_ornament.
Yeah, I forgot about the batch stuff every night. Thank you Mr. Memory Address (hee hee). I tried using a tag removal script (-penis_ribbon), but nothing happened. Are you sure that contributors/janitors/privileged/mods/admins/etc. are not the only ones with the power to delete tags?
Hillside Moose, there is a "ribbon" tag already. If one were to add both the "ribbon" and the "penis_ornament" tag to a post, would this not serve the same purpose with one fewer tag?
Also, sorry about the catheter thing. I need to be more thorough in the future.

Just wanted to point out that a parallel discussion is occurring in forum #21540.
