help:pixiv
Pixiv is a website where Japanese artists upload their artwork. It's one of the main sources of images on Danbooru.
Uploading
Paste the link to the Pixiv post on the "upload page":[/uploads/new]. Don't download the image to your computer then upload it. Pasting a link avoids uploading a Pixiv sample.
Artist tags
If the artist doesn't already have a tag, then you'll need to make one. To create a new artist tag, tag the post with artist:tag_name.
The tag name should normally be their Pixiv display name in romanized form. See howto:romanize or ask in topic #8199 if you need help coming up with a tag name.
After you make a new artist tag, click the '?' next to the tag in the tag list to create a new artist entry. In the artist entry, add:
- The artist's Pixiv URL (e.g. https://www.pixiv.net/users/1007080)
- The artist's name (found under their profile picture).
- Any other names or URLs listed in their profile.
See help:artists for more information about making artist tags.
Searching
When searching by tag, Pixiv has a limit of 1000 pages for results. To bypass this limit, add ?ecd=YYYY-MM-DD to the end of the URL:
