The bulk update request #11899 is pending approval.

mass update jet -> jet_aircraft
remove implication jet (1644) -> airplane (5265)
remove alias fighter_jet (0) -> jet (1644)
create implication jet_aircraft (0) -> airplane (5265)
change category jet_(disambiguation) (0) -> invalid # missing

Reason: The "jet" tag is supposed to be used for aircraft.
However, the word jet has many uses:

  • Jet stream
  • Jet aircraft
  • Jet boat
  • Jet engine
  • Private jet
  • Jet of water or air
  • Jet current
  • Jetski
  • jet boots aliased to rocket_boots

etc...

Jet is also the name of currently 81 characters And 2 artists

Looking through the times jet was removed from posts, there is a continuous problem with people tagging characters named Jet as just jet, which causes the post to also be wrongly tagged "aircraft" and "airplane".

The alternative jets tag isn't faring much better.
post #1737394, post #710118, post #4167814, post #2715883
Seems like a mix of jet_pack, jet_engine, and jet_propulsion.

All these things combined have and is leaving a lot of opportunity to mistag posts.
So I propose changing the base jet tag to something that's more clear and disambiguate the plane plain jet tag to follow other tags with multiple meanings.

Also if this is the way we wanna go, these needs to be rejected:

topic #57712
The tag alias #77264 jet_fighter -> jet is pending approval.
topic #58606
The tag alias #78752 jets -> jet is pending approval.

Follow-up:

Alias jet -> jet_(disambiguation)
Alias jets -> jet_(disambiguation)
Alias fighter_jet -> jet_aircraft
Alias jet_fighter -> jet_aircraft
