Topic: [Feature] Link directly to aliases and implications on wiki page

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Requested feature overview description.

On wiki pages for tags which imply or are aliased to other tags, include a link for each such alias or implication. For example, https://e621.net/wiki_pages/20503 would include links to https://e621.net/tag_implications/19026 and https://e621.net/tag_implications/27055.

Why would it be useful?

Right now, if you're trying to find out why a tag you want to use isn't behaving as expected, the process to find the forum thread where it was discussed is all of the following:

1. Click "Tags" in the top row.
2. Click "MetaSearch" in the second row.
3. Enter the name of the tag you want to search for again, even if you were previously on the wiki page or search results for that tag.
4. Click "Show" for whichever alias/implication you want to investigate.

Wiki pages, by contrast, are easily accessible from anywhere related to a tag. (They're also more reliable, in the case where a tag has more than 25 relationships .)

This could also be implemented for the list of tags which imply or are aliased to a specific tag, but it's more useful the other way round.

What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?

Wiki

Hmm, I wonder if someone could make a script to troll the BURs for example, and then adding links to them on the related tags' entries. Combing through them like that could work but... OK: This should be done like the Wiki itself does it with it's entries? Not sure if it would be easier for users that way or other way. Luckily, processing them in a script would only require going through newer ones, if trying to update, if I'm understanding this correctly.

Maybe try a test run with edit's preview pane of a Wiki entry for a recent implication to see what it might look like?

Implementationwise, I assume the Wiki's native method uses some linked-list system that walks through the nodes in the tree?
