Topic: You can be my Angle BUR

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #2192 is pending approval.

create alias angle (54) -> angle_(disambiguation) (0)
change category angle_(disambiguation) (0) -> invalid
create alias angler (12) -> anglerfish_antenna (0)
change category anglerfish_antenna (0) -> general
create implication anglerfish_antenna (0) -> antennae_(anatomy) (30898)

Reason: Commonly mistagged for low/high angle or angels instead. If we want to have a tag for the geometric angles, I'd propose angel_(geometry)
Also angler antennae/lures.

create alias angler -> angler_antennae

Seems to me this could just as easily mean anglerfish. Also if "angler antennae" is meant to refer to the antennae of an anglerfish, it's technically called a "modified luminescent fin ray (the esca or illicium)", which doesn't have to be visible on an anglerfish and can be on non-anglerfish species.

Of all the posts with the angler tag, it seems only one of them is an actual anglerfish - the rest are non-anglerfish creatures who have the “angler antenna” feature. Even so, that one anglerfish post does have the antenna, so the alias is still currently valid.

I’m not against picking a different name for the tag, though. Even if we were to keep it, “anglerfish_antenna” would probably be more appropriate than “antennae” as there’s generally only one of them on a character.

My opinion isn't much but I like angle_(geometry)!
maybe save angel_(geometry) for an implication of ramiel from neon genesis evangelion
:D

My mind kept jumping back to that meme as I was thinking of witty titles. I was going to add it too but apparently it doesn't exist as a tag on E621.

Glad I keep checking back on these old BURs, I missed that suggested change. Went ahead and updated to that.

Not very enthused about the angler -> anglerfish_antennae, especially since angler might be used for anglerfish, but the antennae may not be displayed
