Topic: Alias mouse_tail & rat_tail -> hairless_tail

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #11269 has been rejected.

create alias mouse_tail (1590) -> rodent_tail (356)
remove implication rat_tail (2504) -> tail (1584029)

Reason: These look functionally equivalent, and I think specific animal tails are too specific. (Are there even any obvious visual differences between a mouse tail and a rat tail?)

alias rat_tail -> rodent_tail

Updated

rodents like squirrels, chinchillas, and others have furry tails, also other mammals like opossums will conflict because they aren't rodents.
i prefer aliasing them all to hairless tail

The bulk update request #11279 is pending approval.

create implication hairless_tail (906) -> tail (1584029)
create alias bald_tail (124) -> hairless_tail (906)
create alias mouse_tail (1590) -> hairless_tail (906)
remove implication rat_tail (2504) -> tail (1584029)

Reason: As suggested. Aliasing bald_tail to hairless_tail since the latter has more usage and a wiki page.

Hairless tail does not work, because they in fact have hair on their tails, and sometimes artists may choose to depict the hair they have.

I mean, hairless cats, hairless dogs, and humans usually have some short hair or 'peach fuzz' visible up close that may be depicted. Including a few visible hairs on a bald character is also established visual shorthand for them being shaved or mangy.
