Meta tags are tags that convey information about an image outside of what is visible in it. For the search syntax feature of the same name, see help:cheatsheet.
The basic rule of thumb is that a meta tag describes what a post is, while general tags describe what a post contains. This has some exceptions, such as JPEG artifacts or scan artifacts.
Examples of things meta tags are used for:
- Image resolution (lowres, highres)
- Post medium (animated, photo (medium))
- Edits (third-party edit, stitched)
- Source information (non-web source, third-party source)
- Tagging information (tagme, character request)
- Post origin (commission, fan request)
For a list of meta tags, see tag group:metatags.
