Is "freckles" only to be used for facial freckles?

The freckles wiki page contains the line: "body_freckles is for when the freckles are across the body rather than on the face" (emphasis mine).

Given this line and the fact that body_freckles doesn't imply freckles, is the freckles tag only to be used for facial freckles? If not, I'll put in for the implication.

Body freckles is a comparatively recent tag. Historically the freckles tag was used for freckles on the face and body alike.

I think the body_freckles tag should be removed and freckles used to cover both cases.

It doesn't *hurt* to keep them both, and if they were used consistently, you could use one to focus towards or away from the body_freckles. I agree though that freckles was always used for both though, and I don't think that's a problem..

Yeah, that seems to be the problem.

That makes the question whether this should be aliased, implicated, or mass updated.

body_freckles should imply freckles. I can imagine people wanting to search for them, and if they get tagged with freckles anyway then there's no issue. We already have far more specific tags for the locations of scars and tattoos on the body, so I really don't see any problem in tagging body freckles.

create implication body_freckles -> freckles

I think it's fine to implicate it since most freckles are on the face, and there should still be a way to search for non-face freckles.
