The bulk update request #2432 is active.

create alias dipstick_feet (10) -> socks_(marking) (42622)
create alias dipstick_hands (0) -> gloves_(marking) (53404)

Reason: paw_markings should be aliased to... something probably...
dipstick_ tail has the same implication structure, and it seems to me that 'paws' are slightly ambiguious, so it should be aliased to 'hand', aka 'dipstick paws' to 'dipstick hands'.

update: changed the tags being aliased to. I probably should make a new BUR, but its so small I don't think it matters.

EDIT: The bulk update request #2432 (forum #333691) has been approved by @slyroon.

dipstick_paws can refer to either hands or feet, as paws can refer to either or both hands (forepaws) or feet (hindpaws).

Also, dipstick_feet should probably be aliased to socks_(marking) since it refers to the same thing. And dipstick_hands should be aliased to gloves_(marking). There's also dipstick_limbs which can refer to either.

gloves_(marking)

that... would be better actually... I should fix that.

Bumping this because I think the aliases requested in this BUR would still be useful.

Also, as Watsit mentioned, there's also dipstick_limbs, which as far as I can tell is primarily an umbrella term that covers both socks and glove markings. So maybe these implication lines should be added too:

create implication socks_(marking) -> dipstick_limbs
create implication gloves_(marking) -> dipstick_limbs

Characters can also have other kinds of limbs, in addition to legs or arms (and also cases where it's ambiguous what kind of limbs they have). So in many situations, dipstick_tentacles and dipstick_wings should also be considered dipstick_limbs. However, I wouldn't add implications for those, because that's not always true: tentacles and wings can also appear in ways that don't function as limbs (e.g. tentacle_hair, or Namor's little mini ankle wings).

Relatedly, I found topic #36081, which was a rejected BUR that has some discussion about how the related tags toeless_(marking)/fingerless_(marking) might be different from dipstick_toes/dipstick_fingers.
