Booru mass editor
Use the Booru mass editor (BME) to quickly edit individual images at websites running Gelbooru software. BME also imporves the interface at index.php?page=post&s=view&id=# and elsewhere.
Required additional software
To use BME you must have the following software:
- A web browser:
- Firefox - BME works best in Mozilla Firefox.
- Chrome (ew) - I haven't tested BME in Google Chrome in one or more years, so it probably will not work.
- BME probably will not work in the following: Opera, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer.
- A userscript add-on:
Required or highly recommended additional software
Add these types of add-ons to your web broswer:
- An add-on that only loads a tab when you select/view that tab
- Optional, but very helpful: An add-on that opens multiple links after one click-and-drag
How to use this software
Functionality
BME will work on websites that run the following software:
- Gelbooru Beta 0.1.11: what most hostnames on booru.org use; BME works best on this variant of Gelbooru. ("Hostname" referes to the * in *.example.com; it is also called a "subdomain".)
- Gelbooru Beta 0.2 (more featuers planned to be added).
- Gelbooru Beta 0.2.0 or Gelbooru Beta 0.2.5 (more featuers planned to be added).
Editing upgrades
Add these tags at the ID page or at Account > Options > My Tags (no one or more of the same tag(s) should be in "My Tags", use , for commas in "My Tags", and don't add too much text because the data cookie can only hold two paragraphs max):
- To change the rating add:
r:s;r; (changes the rating to safe)
- To replace tags add:
re:bad_tag1_>_good_tag1|re:bt1_>_bt1|re:bt2_>_gt2;re; (replaces multiple tags) or re:bad_tag_>_good_tag;re; (only replaces one tag)
- To add tags add:
add:x|y|z;add; (adds tags x, y, and z) or add:x;add; (only adds x)
- To remove tags add:
re:x_>_|y_>_|z_>_;re; (removes tags x, y, and z) or re:x_>_;re; (only removes x)
- To add the "tagme" tag if an image has less than a certain amount of tags add:
tagmeif:lt#;endif; where # is, examples: tagmeif:lt5;endif; and tagmeif:lt10;endif;
- To implicate tags use:
im:particular_>_general;im; or im:all_>_tag|implications_>_are|based_>_on|inductive_>_reasoning;im; here is 268 pages of implications: http://danbooru.donmai.us/tag_implications
- To submit the aforementioned changes when the page loads add:
op:onload;op;; this bullet point is why this script is called a "mass editor": careful using this one. DO NOT add aliased tags because it will submit the form a bunch of times which results in duplicate tag history revisions. For the script's functionality with a newer version, if Firefox, go to about:config to change dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows to true so get it to work as it does on Google Chrome.

- Other stuff: this script is not finished
- Regular expression replacements and removals at
&id= pages
- Test and maybe fix at rule34.xxx, Gelbooru.com, etc.
- Fix immediate closer of 1st page opened (but not all subsequent pages in such a way) if op:onload;op; at xbooru.com.
- Get BME to work with WebMs in rule34.xxx (it works with WebMs in xbooru.com).
Trends and information
The newer the software the more tags a booru has:
- Gelbooru version Beta 0.1.11
- Users could post images with no tags resulting in the images having the "tagme" tag
- Many boorus have vast image dumps with no tags (for example, 80% images at meme.booru.org have no tags (out of 30,000 images total))
- Thus, many boorus really need to be tagged.
- Gelbooru versions equal to or greater than "Beta 0.2" (the newest version takes 15 seconds per page when mass tag editing):
- The software forces users to have at least 4 tags
- The software is not free so the popularity of the booru has to pay for the software's cost
- Basically they mainly contain popular content that is very well tagged so add tags to boorus with older free (price = $0) Gelbooru software!
