The tag implication #49916 tail_anus -> anus has been rejected.

Reason: an anus connected to the tail is still an anus

EDIT: The tag implication tail_anus -> anus (forum #356342) has been rejected by @Millcore.

See also topic #27551 it got rejected 2 years ago.

There seems to be some contention what the tag is actually for, but an anus is still an anus, and should just be implied until it actually gets dealt with.

Could be aliased or disambiguated. Since the problem is it can be inferred to be an anus on the tail (like how tail_mouth is a mouth on the tail), rather than an anus at the base of the tail. And even then, it seems to vary pretty significantly:

Having these all under the same tag seems to dilute its use.

I think I left this out of my tail BUR for that reason.
Maybe we ought to just… nuke it?

Alias to anus?

Perhaps. It feels too vague as-is. We could use something like tail_base_anus and tail_end_anus to distinguish between the two types if we want to keep that specificity.
