has fork

Definition

Has Fork is a auto tag used to indicate that a bot post has one or more derivative versions created by other users. These derivative works, known as "forks," are alternative versions of the original bot made without direct involvement from the original writer.

Forks typically involve modifications such as:

• Tone or personality adjustments - Altering how a character behaves or speaks
• Scenario changes - Modifying the setting or premise while keeping the core character
• Content additions - Expanding lore, adding new greetings, or including a lorebook
• Censorship or uncensorship - Toggling explicit content or altering NSFW elements

Usage

This tag is automatically applied by the system during the upload process. When a user attempts to upload a bot and the system detects it as a duplicate of an existing post, the uploader is presented with a choice: they may mark their upload as a "fork of" the original, or if they were the original uploader of the detected duplicate, they may instead choose to "sibling with" it.

Selecting to fork off will apply has_fork to the original post and is_fork to the new upload. This decision is made between the uploader and site admins during the upload flow.

Has Fork vs. Siblings:

If the original creator is the one uploading a variant, they should select "sibling with" instead, resulting in the siblings tag being applied to both posts.
