Topic: [APPROVED] Mythological Fox BUR

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #1267 is active.

remove implication huli_jing (9) -> fox_spirit (2852)
remove implication kumiho (325) -> fox_spirit (2852)
remove implication nogitsune (29) -> fox_spirit (2852)
create implication huli_jing (9) -> mythological_fox (490)
create implication kumiho (325) -> mythological_fox (490)
create implication nogitsune (29) -> mythological_fox (490)
remove implication fox_spirit (2852) -> canine (1349957)
remove implication fox_spirit (2852) -> east_asian_mythology (25716)
create implication mythological_fox (490) -> mythological_canine (59951)
create implication mythological_canine (59951) -> canine (1349957)
remove alias mythological_creature (674204) -> mythology (708352)

Reason: During an extremely long discussion in the Discord server, a few people brought up concerns that fox_spirit may be inadequate for its implications due to frequent mistagging. By recreating the implication chain in mythological_fox, the issue of cleanup is simplified.

EDIT: The bulk update request #1267 (forum #315880) has been approved by @bitWolfy.

I don't see a reason we should remove that alias from mythology. The rest of the BUR looks fine.

The reasoning in the Discord discussion after you went to bed was that mythological_canine and other mythological_* tags could imply mythological_creature and the latter could imply mythology. That would reduce the amount of implications to mythology, keeping things neater and easier to track.

I think it should be an implication rather than an alias, but the alias has to be removed first to make it an implication.
