Aliasing artificial_limb → prosthetic
Link to alias

Reason:

Seen this used on FA.

i think it should be aliased to prosthetic_limb and not prosthetic. not all prosthetics are prosthetic limbs. keeping this distinction can be useful.

Just a barely related question- I'm not sure there are many cases of this here, but would prosthetic makeup fall under the prosthetic tag? The tag seems more geared towards actual replacement body parts rather than gooey rubber and paint.

prosthetic_limb is already aliased to prosthetic, so I can't propose the alias that way (I tried, though).

No? There might be an alias that never got finalized, but... post #1445571 It's not even implicated to prosthetic.

*shrug*, it wouldn't let me use the form with those inputs.

I would support artificial_limb:prosthetic_limb, though.

There is a whole less of tags about fake limbs.

artificial limbs come in prosthetic, cyber, cybernetic, mechanical, artificial, metal, robotic, bionic, wooden, and prosthetic.

I think.

I might be missing a few.

and the parts in question are labeled limb, limbs, arm, arms, leg, legs, etc etc etc

I started a thread about it a few months ago, but it's not worth really dredging up because it started with a flawed idea and devolved into a lot of bickering and arguing between me and another.

But, TL;DR - there are a lot of tags related to the concept of fake limbs.
