The tag alias #47379 orc_humanoid -> orc has been approved.

Reason: So, I started this thread about 2 months ago: https://e621.net/forum_topics/27129 only two people responded but they both said that we are better off just aliasing orc_humanoid to orc. I can understand their reasoning, orcs are already very humanoid as is and you generally don't see similar tags get used for other humanoid mythological creatures like goblins, trolls, vampires, elves, or dwarves. Of course, the flipside to this is that their are images when orcs lack orc traits or have extra ones like horns and wings that could justify orc_humanoid's existence. Not to mention the existence of orc-like subspecies and races like the uruk-hai.

EDIT: The tag alias orc_humanoid -> orc (forum #297851) has been approved by @Millcore.

Orcs that are distinct enough can already have their own tag.
orc_(dragon_quest) (though somehow these find their way into ork.)
ork (should arguably be orc_(warhammer) but I don't think we get many WHFB orcs. Don't even want to touch the Age of Sigmar orc->urruk rebrand.)

I accidentally voted the wrong way but I'm in agreement with the majority that orc_humanoid -> orc is a good alias.

You can change your vote, you know.

You can click on the thumbs-down symbol again to change your vote.

Also, yes. Humanoid is the default state of an orc, I don't see why it needs to be specified separately.

Thanks everyone. It worked on refresh.

Fun fact: you don't have to refresh in Firefox. The script is slightly bugged out in Chrome.

I still have to refresh in Firefox.

I don't, but I'm running Waterfox Classic, maybe it's something that changed in later versions of Firefox. I vaguely remember hearing that modern Firefox like a branch based on Chrome at this point.

Transitives:

Alias humanoid_orc -> orc_humanoid will become orc -> orc_humanoid
Implication orc_humanoid +> humanoid will become orc +> humanoid
Implication orc_humanoid +> orc will become orc +> orc
Implication uruk-hai +> orc_humanoid will become uruk-hai +> orc

Okay, so what I gathered is that we are keeping orc_humanoid as an active and independent tag. How would you like to define that exactly?

Not necessarily. It seems that errors are preventing this alias from being approved, likely due to the current aliases/implications orc_humanoid currently has. I'll submit a supplemental BUR that will hopefully fix this.

The bulk update request #510 is active.

remove implication orc_humanoid (2) -> orc (7331)
remove implication uruk-hai (11) -> orc_humanoid (2)

Reason: A supplemental BUR regarding the orc/orc_humanoid tags.
