Topic: unalias kangaroo_penis

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #10495 is pending approval.

remove alias kangaroo_penis (0) -> marsupial_penis (743)

Reason: I believe the kangaroo penis is visually distinct enough to have its own tag. And marsupial_penis doesn't seem like a very good tag since its wiki definition is basically just balls_above_penis, and I don't think all marsupials have very similar penises anyway.

I would also suggest a follow-up of:

alias marsupial_penis -> balls_above_penis/animal_penis

As well as:

imply kangaroo_penis -> kangaroo_genitalia
imply kangaroo_penis -> animal_penis

the kangaroo is a marsupial anyhow. correct me if i'm wrong but in any case this would require a bunch of posts needing to be retagged with kangaroo_penis and there are a few posts with balls_above_penis that aren't about marsupials

Kangaroos are marsupials but this alias is as if we had aliased canine_penis to placentalia_penis. Marsupial_penis is too broad of a tag to be actually useful. Generally we base *_penis tags on physical characteristics and not on scientific classification.

Just bumping this because the votes are pretty split through the middle. I didn't really expect this to be a controversial suggestion because marsupial_penis just doesn't make any sense as a tag, so this alias is basically just keeping the far more descriptive tag kangaroo_penis hostage.
