The bulk update request #10365 is pending approval.

create alias talking_about_another (3) -> dialogue (553039)

Reason: Closest valid tag

Wait what should be done about talking to another and its related tags? They have an implication associated with them but they don't have a good implication tree set up.

In topic #33133, it doesn't seem that people dislike the tag, and i guess it could be useful for talks without dialogue

If were to keep them, they seem underused and could do with a better tree (talking_* (except for self) could imply talking_to_another)

The bulk update request #10366 is pending approval.

create implication talking_to_prey (2464) -> talking_to_another (24037)
create implication talking_to_pred (751) -> talking_to_another (24037)

Reason: Testing the waters, what do you think of the talking_to tag family? Also Tangentially related, should we have an umbrella tag for all the interacting with viewer stuff

I'm not sure if talking_to_another has valid use over dialogue, but I think talking_about_another does.

We have a gossip tag, also. While that doesn't cover every instance of talking_about_another (and some tagged posts don't have dialogue at all), it's definitely a related concept.

This doesn't seem appropriate, since the viewer isn't treated as another character normally (without something visible). looking_at_viewer doesn't imply looking_at_another, nor does pointing_at_viewer imply pointing_at_another.

Ok, removed
