The tag implication #43680 flood_(halo) -> flood_(disambiguation) has been rejected.

Reason: this seems to be a subset of the species

EDIT: The tag implication flood_(halo) -> the_flood (forum #330629) has been rejected by @bitWolfy.

EDIT: The bulk update request #2276 (forum #) has been approved by @bitWolfy.

Aren't these just the same thing? Also, "the flood" is a rather generic name, given both the natural disaster and the flooding tag that seems to be flooded with macro/micro posts.

Well, this is a species tag, so I think it's just a case of some variation of the species just in Halo.

The bulk update request #2254 is active.

remove implication the_flood (0) -> alien (77590)
remove implication flood_spider (0) -> the_flood (0)
mass update the_flood -> flood_(halo)
create implication flood_spider (0) -> flood_(halo) (66)
create implication flood_(halo) (66) -> alien (77590)

Reason: Separating from the ambiguous tag for a more defined one.

Post BUR:

alias the_flood -> flood_(disambiguation)
category flood_(disambiguation) -> general

EDIT: The bulk update request #2254 (forum #330898) has been approved by @bitWolfy.

I don’t care too much which way the alias goes (I’ve never heard of any other species named “the flood”) but you created an implication when you meant to make an alias.

I see what you mean there. I'm just not sure if it's an alias or an implication because it's unclear if the_flood from Halo is the same as the_flood species in general.

I assume they are, judging by how both tags are used. If they aren’t same, then it should be neither implication nor alias, as we wouldn’t have a Halo species imply some other non-Halo species just because they share a name.
