Topic: Tag Implication: winged_wolf -> wolf

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

-1. Alias them all, these aren't "species," they're just wolves with features that should be tagged separately.

Best to alias those away before that gets out of hand.
Fortunately it hasn't spread to other species yet. There's just a couple of winged_foxes. (Whoever tagged winged_feathers must've been tired...)

Edit: grey_wolf is an actual wolf species, though I suppose it might get tagged simply by the color. How about aliasing it to the alternate name, timber_wolf?

I've made the following changes:

The trouble with the last one would be that new or clueless users might tag grey_wolf when they see a grey wolf appear in a post. Can they be distinguished from other wolves?
If a grey wolf is automatically a timber wolf, then that's no problem.

Eh, yeah, that's a problem.

But mostly because of the original characters. Posts such as these that are currently tagged as grey_wolf:

Because of the fur color, I assume. Those wouldn't (arguably) fit under timber wolf.

I guess I'll just alias grey_wolf to wolf like the rest then?

On the other hand, many of them are clearly actual timber wolves. I wonder if it'd be worth disambiguating?

By the way, timber_wolf should imply wolf.

I changed it to an alias because I've received information about timber_wolf not being a real term, but colloquialism.
