The bulk update request #10431 is pending approval.

remove alias wildebeest (0) -> gnu (152)
remove alias connochaetes (0) -> gnu (152)
remove implication gnu (152) -> alcelaphine (171)
remove implication black_wildebeest (5) -> gnu (152)
remove implication blue_wildebeest (3) -> gnu (152)
remove alias wildebeest_humanoid (0) -> gnu_humanoid (4)
remove alias wildebeast_humanoid (0) -> gnu_humanoid (4)
remove implication gnu_humanoid (4) -> antelope_humanoid (41)

Followup:

alias gnu -> wildebeest
alias wildebeast -> wildebeest
alias connochaetes -> wildebeest
imply wildebeest -> alcelaphine
imply black_wildebeest -> wildebeest
imply blue_wildebeest -> wildebeest
alias gnu_humanoid -> wildebeest_humanoid
alias wildebeast_humanoid -> wildebeest_humanoid
imply wildebeest_humanoid -> antelope_humanoid

Reason: this is a very old alias that I think got done the wrong way around, wildebeest is the more common name for the animal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildebeest

Is the GNU software not well known enough to warrant a disambiguation? It's certainly what I thought of when seeing gnu, but I am definitely biased here

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
