Topic: Tag Implication: avian_(starbound) -> avian

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

There are also novakid_(starbound) and avali_(starbound) with three and two tags respectively. They were just tagged novakid and avali, but I updated them when I saw this thread.

The Novakid are a core race. There aren't many pictures now, but there's likely to be more over time.

The Avali are a mod race. There's not much of them on this site, but there's some rather nice art of them floating around on FA. They're also the game's long-time top mod and have a quite recognizable style to them. http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/&order=rating_weighted

EDIT: Also the Apex. There were a number of images just tagged apex which I updated to apex_(starbound). The Apex are also a core race in Starbound. They could use their own descending species tag implications, given that they're some manner of primate.

I think those should be moved back.
There's absolutely no need to disambiguate if the tag's only used in one way. It just makes harder to tag and search for those.

Agreed. I argued that hylotl_(starbound) should be aliased to hylotl since it's a Starbound specific name. Avians, Glitch, and Humans are all common names, but Hylotl, Novakid, Avali*, Floran, and Apex are Starbound specific (Interesting that Floran is, since it sounds like it would be common--If anybody can find evidence that it DOES exist elsewhere, please let me know!), and as such will not need the suffix to them.

*Avali are not actually the property of Chucklefish, but they are copyrighted to ryuujinzero, and while they may be presented in other settings, they are still the same race.

If you search for them in the undifferentiated format, it'll ask if you meant the differentiated one. I have a possibly inappropriate preference for consistent appearances. By all means, set them back if you believe they should be set back.

Since Avali aren't the property of Chucklefish, I'm going to go fix that myself and promptly. The point that they could be in other settings and still be Avali is a good one.

Alright. Approved the following:

Implicated:
avian_(starbound)avian
avian_(starbound)starbound
glitch_(starbound)starbound
fallen_one_(starbound)starbound (if it turns out later that this tag isn't needed, we can replace the implication with an alias)
hylotlstarbound
novakidstarbound
apex_(starbound)starbound

And aliased:
hylotl_(starbound)hylotl
novakid_(starbound)novakid

Let me know if I missed one. The discussion got a little hard to follow at times but it should be most of it.

I've played some Starbound, but have never heard of fallen_one_(starbound). And Google turned up nothing about that. But I suppose there's no harm in leaving it implicated, whatever it is..

They are all posts by technijui, so I'm guessing it's a fan character of some kind. Their furaffinity has "fallen" and "one" as tags for some of them. Googling [ "fallen one" starbound ] brings up e621 as the first couple results...so I think it probably doesn't really mean anything in-game.

You're right that it probably isn't going to hurt to leave it implicated (since it should obviously get tagged with it anyways).

Fallen One also seems to show up on both Glitch and Hylotl, so I think they're a character that changes species.
