Implicating pawpads → paws
Link to implication

Reason:

i've noticed a lot of images tagged with pawpads but not paws; it seems that the latter should be implied in all cases

EDIT: The tag implication pawpads -> paws (forum #271236) has been rejected by @bitWolfy.

we have already had this implication and undone it because its bad implication.

you can stick pawpads on human feet or hell, even on wings, and it wont make them paws. end of discussion.

nah son. read the tag wikis. humanoid feet are kinda inherently different thing from what paw tag should be used to

i was just going to add this with the comment:
"Though paws don't always have pawpads visible but are still 'pawlike' enough for that tag, pawpads should always imply paws. I'd just like this since I've always searched up 'paws' but i see that i miss a lot of posts tagged 'pawpads' without 'paws', when it should surely have the latter if it has the former."

I get that some pics have humanlike feet with pawpads (though it could be heavily argued that that makes them paw-like enough for the paw tag anyway...) but the fact is a shockingly large amount of posts have straight-up paw-as-fuck paws and just tagged 'pawpads' without 'paws'. I was starting to go through and add that tag when I realized I could/should just request an implication... but this one's been 'pending' for years and put down, when I'd say it shouldn't be.

To be blunt, though it's possible to have pawpads in a pic that has no actual paws as per the previous argument, the number of times that would actually be the case would be so low that I think it'd be best to auto-alias pawpads with paws by default and manually undo the paw tag via whatever means in the extremely small amount of pics where it actually wouldn't make sense. Of course, 'paws' shouldn't imply 'pawpads' but the reverse really, like, 99% of the time, should be the case.

I'd say "paws" should be wiped. It's largely just a cutesy furry way to say hands or feet (see post #3563609, post #3563041, and post #3561760, all from the last day). Sometimes they are just pawpads, sometimes they're just digitigrade, sometimes it's just random animal hands/feet, but there's little consistency, so it'd be better to search for what you're actually interested in specifically.
