I may need a bit of help to put this together. I'm currently attempting to gather together all of the robo-mecha-droid-type tags for the wiki and I want to get some feedback from someone who knows what they are talking about (i.e., not me).
Specifically I'm seeking:
- Robo-related tags I'm missing
- Potentially useful aliases/implications
- Corrections and stuff
I tried to organize this as best I could, but it may be a bit messy.
What I have so far:
Tags already implicated:
- mechanical
- machine
- fucking_machine
- milking_machine (pending)
- robot
- animatronic - Kind of like crude rudimentary robots, or glorified puppets.
- turret_(portal) - Specific to portal_(series), implies turret
- turret -
Mechanical gun thingy. - turret_gun - Specific to portal_(series)
Tags with no (significant) implications
- android - Humanoid-shaped robots. (440)
anthroid - "Anthro androids" - A furry term someone made up but never caught on here. (15)Aliased to android- biomechanical - I have no clue. (13)
- bionic - Implies cybernetics for some reason.
- cybernetics - Machine parts for living things. (116/63)
- cyborg - "Part-creature-part-machine" in a similar sense as "part-creature-part-human" meaning anthro. (987)
- droid - Reminds me of how taur is to centaur...but not really. (11)
gynoid - Since andro- refers to "man", this apparently needed to exist for women. (30)Aliased to android- living_aircraft - See living_machine. (117)
- living_machine - Killer lawnmowers and aeromorphs apparently. (87)
- mecha - Giant battle robots/suits and apparently anything that looks even vaguely Japanese. (182)
- power_armor - Related. See Iron Man. (89)
- sexdroid - A droid you can fuck. Not much to say here. (23)
Key: [tag] - description (# of posts)
My thoughts:
Tag tree:
- mechanical
- cybernetics <-alias-- bionic
- machine
- fucking_machine
- milking_machine (pending)
- living_machine <-alias/imply?-- living_aircraft
- mecha
- power_armor
- robot
- android <-alias--
gynoid, droid,anthroid - animatronic
- turret_(portal)
- turret
Linear:
- Implication: living_machine -> machine
- Implication: aeromorph -> living_machine
- Implication: mecha -> machine
- Implication: power_armor -> machine (may refer to non-machine armor, I honestly have no idea)
- Implication: android -> robot
- Edit: Previous discussion: forum #141131
- Implication: sexdroid -> android (or maybe robot, or something other than sexdroid)
- Implication: cyborg -> cybernetics
- Alias: droid -> android
Alias: anthroid -> androidDoneAlias: gynoid -> androidDone- Alias: living_aircraft -> living_machine
- Edit: Previous discussions: forum #138926 forum #140243
- Alias: bionic -> cybernetics (rather than implicating)
- biomechanical -> don't care
