Overwatch Implications

Posted under Tags

If a tag is deprecated it means it should eventually be manually nuked once replacement tags are added. Deprecation also automatically removes existing implications and aliases iirc. The tag still exists but eventually it should be gardened away. As I think was explained to you once on your old account aliases and implications for empty (nuked) tags get auto-retired on a weekly basis, so this implication would eventually get retired anyways.

Never dealt with deprecations before, As the tag still exists I figured it should be implied.

No it needs to be emptied, right now the only reason it isn't is so people can make costume tags which you can do if you're familiar with the game. I personally think since nobody seems to care about that it should just be nuked.

In that case it was me trying to imply a game before it had any art, not the same thing.

It may not be identical, but if you can't understand the through-line between the two scenarios of "a tag that is currently empty" and "a tag that is eventually intended to be empty" I think you might just have a chronic case of failing to get the point.

also said game still doesn't have any art 3 months later, fwiw.

BUR #44987 is pending approval.

nuke overwatch_1
nuke overwatch_2

I don't really see a reason to keep these around, especially since there isn't really much to clean up copyright wise. That alone is enough to nuke in favor of the typical Overwatch tag. Idk about Apex though, as I was just observing this discussion and would rather someone actually familiar with the series weigh in on that one.

Well, if the reason for deprecation was related to costumes...Well, I guess this BUR can serve as a time limit for that? I always work better with time limits, and it seems the site agrees given what happened when Evazion did something similar with the old legwear tags.
