alias bird_wings -> feathered_wings

BUR #6045 has been rejected.

create alias bird_wings -> feathered_wings

I'm struggling to think of a reason why these two tags should be kept separated.

post #2425186 what about this

Hm, there's still feathers in there. But "naked" bird wings imo deserve their own tags, because otherwise they're already lost in a sea of feathered bird wings.

I don't think it makes sense to keep these two main tags separate when they have 99.999% overlap.

There's feathers but the current wiki for feathered_wings says "Wings that are covered by feathers."

Let's not descend into nonsense about semantics in the first four replies please.

Just sayin

Plucked_wings?

Probably plucked feathers is good enough because it could also apply to tail feathers.

I'd say the only reason not to do this is that feathered wings is also used for angel girls, so unless bird girl or angel are better populated, then aliasing bird wings to feathered wings will erase the difference between bird girls and angels.

We also have angel wings at 14k posts.

There are some angel wings that aren't feathered, like Exusiai's and the other members of Arknights' "Sankta" angel 'race'. These tend to be floating crystals or energy constructs.

Edit: Currently it seems like angel wings principally get tagged with angel wings, with the other two tags (feathered wings and energy wings occasionally used as a further modifier when the uploader remembers to).

Edit2: Oh there is also angel_wings mechanical_wings... basically another type of "angel wings". These tend to be consistently tagged as mechanical_wings though (on top of angel_wings).

Edit3: There are also 'reptilian' wings with feathers, like in post #2484874 (though we also have feathered_dinosaur for that) and some examples under dragon feathered_wings, dragon_wings feathered_wings -kiryu_coco and quetzalcoatl* wings (the "feathered serpent" archetype being a semi-common trope deriving from real world mythology).

There's also Archeops, which is basically "Pokemon feathered dinosaur" but it seems undertagged for wings.

Angel wings is mostly a canon tag

With angel wings being kept in BUR #6059, I think that this reasoning for not letting this BUR through is gone.

I see a reason to differentiate bird wings from other feathered wings. post #4400172 has both, and would not be findable without both tags.

I mean, the same can be said about any other tag with an implication, unless we want to have an umbrella for bird wings and non-bird feathered wings.

There are lots of feathered wings that doesnt look like bird wings. Not saying all posts tagged with bird wings look like bird wings, but an alias would make future clean up efforts impossible.

mass update bird_wings -> feathered_wings
mass update angel_wings -> feathered_wings

Due to recurring discussion here and on the discord about people not knowing why in the world they weren't the same with others pointing out plucking I suggest a mass update rather than an implication or alias. Any plucked or simplified wings can be gardened after.
