The tag implication #49050 non-mammal_anus -> anus has been rejected.

Reason: A butt is a butt, no matter the what

Perhaps an alias would be better? See topic #36829

EDIT: The tag implication non-mammal_anus -> anus (forum #353836) has been rejected by @Rainbow_Dash.

Wait, is there a point to having such a tag? Are non-mammal anuses so rare in real life? Guess I never looked into it.

Previously requested in now-hidden topic #36394, where there was discussion if non-mammal_anus should be a valid tag (there are non-mammals that have anuses, unlike non-mammal_breasts, making it not really any different than mammal anuses). That implication request was then deleted and followed up with an alias request in the also now-hidden topic #36397.

Can we please put a moratorium on users being able to hide entire threads that have discussions in them?

Still a pending feature request that I will continue to support.

I've unhidden it, and will unhide any future ones.

Hey uh, vote on this

Why not make it an alias? It's not clear that anuses are exclusive to mammals, and even if they are I'm not sure cloacas and anuses can be reliably visually distinguished.

They can be well enough, or else the cloaca tags wouldn't exist.

Not necessarily. For the cloaca tag to exist, it's only necessary to be able to tell something is a cloaca and not an anus; for non-mammal_anus, you have to be able to tell it's an anus and not a cloaca. Different things.

An anus is an anus. no matter whatus. I think an alias would be better. They're not exclusive to mammals or chordates (animals with spinal cords) for that matter.

I'm leaning towards alias as well.

This doesn't change how and when you tag cloaca or anus. You already tag cloaca or anus on non-mammals depending on how it appears. This would only mean that when you would already tag anus on a non-mammal, you would tag non-mammal_anus.

But as I said, I don't think non-mammals lack anuses like they lack breasts, so a tag like non-mammal_anus wouldn't serve the same purpose as non-mammal_breasts.

Head over to topic #36829 to discuss/vote on an alias instead
