Reason: Among other things.

Augmentation

Implants

  • implants leads to a mix of either cybernetics or breast_implants and should redirect to a cleanup zone.
  • implant features mostly cybernetics, but I'm not taking chances.

Cybernetics

  • Hooking up some missing cybernetics implications and aliases.
  • Leaving cybernetic_attachments intact for additions which don't fit or replace a natural body part.
  • cybernetic_chin seems irrelevant. I think a whole cybernetic jaw is enough of a trope to warrant a tag, but we don't seem to have that here yet.
  • Not sure if just a hand counts as a whole limb for tagging purposes.
  • I think cybernetic knee and ear replacement is significant enough to stay, and probably just undertagged.

Big thanks to SnowWolf for a tucked-away article I wasn't aware of.
Forgot about the bionic_* tags for now, oops.
And the cyborg_* tags
robotic_* tags appear predominantly FNAF-based at the moment and should stay separate. Not to mention robotic arms which are never intended to be part of a character.

EDIT: The bulk update request #326 (forum #297942) has been approved by @Millcore.

I got a little carried away. Some of the small ones with older taggings I'm just changing manually.

An existing thread for bionic_arm

  • bionic -> bionics for consistency with cybernetic -> cybernetics. Shouldn't be hard to move the wiki.
    • I'm guessing this is what the update script is for, please someone correct me if that's wrong.
  • The rest of the bionic tags should at least be implied into cybernetics for ease of sorting before any argument on sorting/snipping bionics.
  • bionic_wing is currently exclusive domain of someone's OC'd rainbow_dash but I don't see a reason to dump it.
  • The closest thing I can find to cyber_sex is phone_sex
  • Should cybergoth be aliased or implied to cyberpunk?
  • cybersuit usage seems to vary between form-fitting [[power_armour]] and [[leotard]] with LEDs
  • cyber_gauntlet feels like an ambiguity between cybernetic_arm and gauntlets. Cleaned up the one post manually.
  • Not sure what to do with cyberdeck. Outside of science-fiction the term is in-use in tech culture, but isn't in common use here yet. Should be fine as long as it stays internally consistent.

I haven't included anything for an entire cybernetic_head yet because I haven't found any tagging, but there are possible examples.
post #1646670 This character is traditionally made of semi-formless electricity, but is often just drawn with a generic green humanoid body with just the robotic head.
post #2426758 Protogen and related species are typically depicted as organic with cybernetic bits, predominantly a screen_face. I don't know if this is enough to warrant a tag such as cybernetic_visor.

I'm not in the best space for logical reasoning, but these changes seem sound to me. Also I think you have a good amount of tags. We can always create a new BUR to include more. This is a big and confusing topic, that involves technology that mostly exists in science fiction. Best to handle it in chunks IMO.

Augmenttation means to make something bigger or better; to enhance. It makes sense that this would be a very closely related concept to cybernetics. I suppose it would also refer to genetics as well, but I'm sure there is a better tag for that.
