wire

A thin strand or thread composed of metal. This tag is only for images of bare metal wires and non-electrical types of wire, particularly those used as a weapon.

Images that depict coated wires, especially those connected to a machine or piece of electronics, should only use the cable tag instead. The only exception to this is if the coated wire is also exposing the metal underneath the coat, in which case it can be tagged wire in conjunction with the cable tag.

Images of normal hanging power lines should not be tagged wire, and instead should be tagged power lines instead.
