Implicating changeling → my_little_pony
Link to implication

Reason:

or to friendship_is_magic since the species seem to be exclusive to this specific series? but if i have understood correctly, fan characters are not supposed to be tagged as friendship_is_magic and changeling fan characters do exist.

Move all changeling to spec:changeling_(mlp) (including wiki page), alias changeling to spec:changeling_(disambiguation). Because changelings are actual mythology. Changeling

Not that it would matter as much, as it's hard to tag a normal mythological changeling on TWYS only, but there are certainly other species called changelings.

but is changeling tag used for anything else except the mlp changelings? if not, then disambiguating or moving anything anywhere is not necessary

Like I said two years ago, there's plenty of other species that are called changelings. The MLP ones are obviously based on the mythological changelings, which were a type of fairies. But those usually get tagged as fairy by twys. Then there's the Star Trek changelings, and the ones from D&D, etc.

However, those aren't furry. So it's nothing to worry about: if any other changelings ever get posted here, we can tag such rare exceptions as changeling_(<setting>).

Therefore... +1.

I don't know ... changeling is a pretty general term. While it's commonly used to mean changeling_(mlp) at this time, that could change very quickly with a new popular show, for example. -1.

if there suddenly came out a new show with popular species called changeling, the implication could always be deleted. i think its kinda dumb to not implicate something just in case of possible popular show with same species name. right now the changeling tag seems to be exclusively in use for the mlp things so perhaps we should focus on how the tag is used now rather than focusing on the hypothetical possibility of another usage.

+1. I never cared for the "fan characters don't get FiM tag" rule, but since that rule is already in place implying it to my_little_pony over friendship_is_magic seems sensible to me.

Technically, under our allowed rules, mythological creatures are considered non-human enough to be on the site. Even if it is just a fairy baby that was swapped with a human baby.

I know, I'm nitpicking.

Are you sure? That's not what it says on the wiki. Just because creatures are mythological or nonhuman doesn't mean they're considered furry. See not_furry.

Posts that aren't just humans tend to get approved, but that's just the admins being lenient.

I meant non-human. It's non-human enough.

I dunno. Like peeps here said, there could be other types of Changeling. But I do support implying changling_(MLP) to My_Little_Pony.

Yeah there are other changelings before the show did it

-1 for change

That wouldn't prevent any possible future mistags.
So far changeling has only been tagged for the MLP species. Therefore there's nothing to disambiguate.

So even if changeling_(mlp) tag were to be created, changeling would have to be aliased to it. Otherwise we'd have to constantly move posts from changeling to changeling_(mlp). Just in case that it might get tagged for something else one day.

We can do that. And then later, if other changelings occur, we can disambiguate.

That's useless. There's only 100% MLP changelings so far.

What the fuck does changeling have to do with My Little Pony anyways?

Oh, just go with it. There's no reason not to, and it will probably save time later, if someone does end up posting a non-MLP changeling on here.

So they're a type of "thing"..in My Little Pony...?

...Right!

Here is hoping no one tries to tag a normal changeling . . .

Then we'll fix it. One mistag out of thousand posts isn't bad, especially considering that some tags (such as human) get mistagged about one time out of five.
