What are the other tags you've found?

theres probably a few others ive missed but for example: foot_in_water, legs_in_water, waterline_view, water_ripple (should probably be aliased to water_ripples or the other way around), and then dirty_water, clear_water (might wanna be aliased to translucent_water or the other way around) and cloudy water which are all mentioned on the water wiki page but dont seem to be used
again im kinda intimidated by the BUR function so if anyone else wants to tackle this feel free, and more tags that need a water implication could probably be found.

(ive noticed there are some other tags that should also imply water, but im new to the site and not sure how to make a BUR, if anyone wants to take that project be my guest)

BURs aren't too difficult once you figure them out. Once you open up the BUR creation page, you'll see four entry fields.

Title and Reason are obvious. Putting in a reason is necessary so that we can follow your logic, even if it's very obvious reasoning. If I'm not mistaken, every BUR needs to have the Title field filled out even if it's being attached to a preexisting forum thread.

Which brings us to Forum topic down there on the bottom. That only needs to be filled in if you want to attach the BUR to a thread. If you look at a thread's URL, you'll see a number, such as 58128 in this thread's case. You would then put that number in Forum topic, and the BUR would be posted in that thread.

The Script field is probably the one that intimidates people the most, but if you click on that little "Help" under it, you'll get a popup that give you a bunch of templates you can use to make the BUR. Each one should be on its own line, and only 25 lines can be included in a BUR.

  • unalias aaa -> bbb
    • This removes an alias. Tag "aaa" is to no longer be converted into tag "bbb".
  • unimply aaa -> bbb
    • This removes an implication. Tag "aaa" is to no longer also add "bbb" when on a post.
  • alias aaa -> bbb
    • This creates an alias. Tag "aaa" is to be always converted into tag "bbb".
    • Using a BUR will require "aaa" to have all its implications and aliases to and from it removed before it can itself be aliased away.
      • It's not necessary to do this with a regular alias request, but the drawback is that the alias request can't be attached to a thread.
  • imply aaa -> bbb
    • This creates an implication. Tag "aaa" will also add "bbb" when on a post.
  • update aaa -> bbb
    • The mass updates a tag. Tag "aaa" is to be converted into tag "bbb" once and can still be used afterwards.
  • category tag_name -> category_name
    • This changes the category of a tag.
    • This is only really necessary if the tag is on more than 100 posts or if the category is Lore, Meta, or Invalid.

Hit Submit, and Bob's your uncle. You've got a BUR.
