The tag alias #78313 religious_symbols -> religious_symbol has been approved.

Reason: Plural -> singular.

create implication christian_symbol (1330) -> religious_symbol (1492)
create implication crucifix (644) -> christian_cross (1104)

Reason: While we're at it.

Any other religious symbol subtags? I can only find christian_symbol. We should also probably implicate the many different cross subtags to christian_cross, though some of them aren't Christian crosses and I'm not enough of an expert to know which is which.

I was listing all of these symbols and their related religion but honestly just go here lol

create alias crescent_moon_and_star (2) -> star_and_crescent (9)
create implication star_and_crescent (9) -> religious_symbol (1492)
create implication star_and_crescent (9) -> islam (45)
create implication dharmachakra (2) -> religious_symbol (1492)
create implication dharmachakra (2) -> buddhism (37)
create implication shide (52) -> shinto_symbol (0)
create implication torii (350) -> shinto_symbol (0)
create implication shinto_symbol (0) -> religious_symbol (1492)
create implication shinto_symbol (0) -> shinto (42)

Reason: A few others. Not sure if we need islamic_symbol and buddhist_symbol in-betweens or not, given how rare these are. I'm also not sure how to handle hexagram, as it's not exclusively used for the Star of David; perhaps we should make separate tag for that?

I'm including shide and torii as well, though they're more religious objects than religious symbols, so I'm not 100% sure if implying them to religious_symbol is the right move. Then again, crosses are used as both objects and symbols...

create alias clergy (14) -> priest (1081)
create implication shrine_maiden (709) -> priest (1081)
create implication bishop (40) -> priest (1081)
create implication pope (29) -> priest (1081)
create implication imam (1) -> priest (1081)
create implication rabbi (6) -> priest (1081)
create implication priest_robes (112) -> religious_clothing (2131)
create implication miko_outfit (818) -> religious_clothing (2131)

Reason: Related non-symbol religious tags that need implications.

Should we make a tag for specifically Catholic priests, given we have tags for priests of other religions? The cleric wiki page also needs a rework, as it doesn't explain what the difference is from a priest. (I'd propose aliasing them, but it does have legitimacy for tagging D&D-inspired things.)

Reason: Yoink.

The plan, as I understand it, is to implicate Star of David to hexagram as well as implying it to religious symbol and probably Judaism as well. After all, it is related to all three subjects even though all three encompass more than just the Star of David. It just needs to be tagged on the appropriate pictures now.

create implication celtic_cross (39) -> christian_cross (1104)
create implication coptic_cross (5) -> christian_cross (1104)
create implication maltese_cross (19) -> christian_cross (1104)

create implication rose_cross (1) -> christian_cross (1104)
create implication slavic_cross (2) -> christian_cross (1104)
create implication syriac_cross (6) -> christian_cross (1104)

Reason: Finally got around to doing these. I'm not deep into Christian lore, so correct me if any of these are wrong. inverted_cross is omitted because it can be used as a non-Christian symbol.

I'm skipping calvary_cross because from what I can tell, the two images tagged as such did not in fact depict calvary crosses. saltire_cross could probably also use a reexamination, as the wiki describes it as a physical cross rather than the symbol.

create alias confessional (10) -> confession_booth (267)

Reason: Confession booths are a Christian thing.

I'm not sure about this one. despite being a Christian thing in real life I feel like the concept can be adopted into fictional religions without it being actually Christianity.

Fair enough. I've changed it to just the alias.
