I see two basic divisions here:
- Artwork. Illustrations and book cover and things we don't have tags for: art, drawings, photos, logos, etc.
- Graphics (technical/data). Images, diagrams, screenshots, plotting.
Both groups can have questions about creating the image, working with someone to create the image, using the image, and so on.
I am open to either merging everything into one tag or keeping it as two main tags (leaning towards the latter). And maybe having 1-2 main tags plus a couple extras if desired. But I frankly think it makes no sense to have things like screenshots and diagrams when we don't even have tags for art or photography.
Can we do some synonyms, merging, re-tagging, and wiki cleanup?
The outlier is picture-books, which I included because it was tagged for a question about a painting (off topic and closed and I removed the tag) and because it does deal with pictures. Though so does comics, which I didn't include and would keep. I'm fine with picture-books, though it needs its other side, chapter-books, which doesn't exist. Both of which are part of children
UPDATE: graphics and artwork have been created with wiki guidance added. All retagging, merging, synonym addition, etc is done. Thank you moderators! See comments under answers for details.
