Topic: Tag implication: building -> architecture

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Hullo! Assuming I'm using terms correctly--and the revelation that I'm not would be a wee bit awkward at this stage--I feel the building tag should be implicated to architecture. Unless there are cases that are slipping my notice, buildings are pieces of architecture, and the tags should reflect that.

I think you mean implication. Alias replaces tags (dogs -> dog) leaving one single tag, while implicating says "squirrels are always mammals, so always add the mammal tag when the squirrel tag is used".

While technically correct, I don't think that the architecture tag is useful enough to warrant an implication. It seems to be used as a way to emphasize the detail of a piece of architecture rather than just say "this is architecture".

I don't think that the tag is useful enough to warrant an implication, but then again I'm not sure I would search for "building" very often either.

I appreciate the heads up on that. :> I've changed the titles of my posts to reflect the correct terminology. I think the tag can have some additional utility. While this site does focus on character-centric art, there is a fair bit of it (especially relating to macro content) that involves architecture. So, while it may not have seen much use as of yet, I'm hoping that can be changed.
