The tag alias #74937 penile_talonjob -> talonjob is pending approval.

Reason: Talonjob + penile does the job just fine. In fact, I added penile to every talonjob piece that needed it, and there are now only 3 images that didn’t need it or I wasn’t sure about.

Is the tag actually causing any problems? It doesn't seem inaccurate and talonjob doesn't seem to exclusively apply to penile stimulation. It seems in line with other tags like penile_masturbation and the tag might be underutilised as is, I already managed to find 8 posts that fit under talonjob that were not penile. Aliasing a tag purely because alternative tags are underutilised seems a little excessive.

it's redundant. penile + talon_job finds everything. we don't need a million tags when two tags we already have do the job just fine.

aren't all the other *job tags just penile, though? or at least involve something phallic like a dildo or a pseudo-penis? prepending penile_ to the tag seems like it'd be redundant.

They perhaps should be, but the wiki definitions for them are often inconsistent. Many *job tags specify they're only penile, but some (such as footjob, beakjob, and talonjob) just specify "another character's genitals". Also, some *job sex tags lack an auto*job masturbation counterpart and instead just claim that the one tag is for both sex and masturbation (such as talonjob, hoofjob, bellyjob, and ribbonjob). More discussion on *job tags and outercourse: topic #47277

Should we implicate talonjob to talon_sex and change the definition on the wiki to make it only apply to penike stimulation, similarly to how tags like tail_sex work? Meaning we would probably want to do the same thing to footjob and all other similar tags.
