What are bulk requests
Bulk requests are used to perform multiple different actions at once.
They also allow users to preemptively add tags to submissions that are pending approval.
Available commands in bulk requests
Variables between [square_brackets] represent tag slugs, or numeric identifiers for videos or sources. Bulk requests are written without those square brackets.
Tag-editing
- worktag:alias [tag A] [tags]
- Aliases one or many tags to tag_A
- worktag:unalias [tag]
- Removes the alias of a tag
- worktag:deprecate [tag]
- worktag:undeprecate [tag]
- worktag:parent [tag_A] [tag_B]
- Sets tag_B as the parent of tag_A
- worktag:unparent [tag_A] [tag_B]
- Removes tag_B from tag_A's parent tags
Tagging works
- source:attach-tag [source_id] [tags]
- Adds one or many tags to a submission pending approval
- work:attach-tag [work_id] [tags]
- Adds one or many tags to a work
Example of a bulk request
worktag:alias tag_jp tag_en_translation tag_cn_translation
worktag:parent tag_jp tag_parent
source:attach-tag 5 tag_jp unrelated_tag
This bulk request will alias tag_cn_translation and tag_en_translation to tag_jp. It will then parent tag_jp to tag_parent and finally, attach tag_jp and unrelated_tag to the pending submission of id=5.

Current limitations
As of now, tags need to exist for any bulk action to be performed on them.
