The tag implication #65335 airplane_dragon -> living_aircraft is pending approval.

Reason: a living airplane dragon may as well be tagged as a living aircraft as well

honestly, maybe alias. the meaning seems really inconsistent with the only clear parallel being that they're all airplane-based.

Agreed. Some of those don't even look like dragons at all, one of the most recent posts is a wolf.

airplane dragon tag may refer to scpkid's style of the species - merely just a "specific style of them and that style is 100% open to the public to enjoy and use."
though, there are many posts of tagged airplane dragons that are irrelevant to scpkid's version, especially those who were made before his. it would be a pointless tag by removing the context of scpkid's version since we don't need to create "airplane wolf/cat/deer/etc" for other species and stick with dragon and living aircraft instead.

In that case, we should have airplane_dragon_(scpkid) instead.

The bulk update request #10735 is pending approval.

create alias airplane_dragon (160) -> living_aircraft (3728) # has blocking transitive relationships, cannot be applied through bur

Reason: I agree with what is said in topic #46771 Airplane_dragon doesn't look specifically like dragon. They are just living_aircraft that someone named that way. If they can't be differentiated from living_aircraft, they should be aliased to it.

For my first time, I am putting putting the alias in a BUR request with the number of the related topic in the hope that it will be attached at the end of the discussion instead of creating a new topic.

I think that I found a partial consistency. It is that airplane_dragon are more often depicted with a body of feral shape whereas living_aircraft are more often anthro shape with boobs and humanoid legs.

Those could be differentiated using other tags than airplane_dragon. It's not like they become dragon by not being anthro.
We can just use anthro and feral to differentiate both type of living_aircraft and it's more reliable.

I do believe that this was largely because the definition for airplane_dragon was kind of vague. If you check the wiki page now it's a lot lot clearer.
