The bulk update request #2461 is active.

remove implication bonobo (21) -> chimpanzee (691)

Reason: Different species. Comparable to sand_cat implying domestic_cat, which would be just silly, innit?

Error: Error: bonobo already implies ape through another implication (create implication bonobo -> ape)

EDIT: The bulk update request #2461 (forum #334291) has been approved by @gattonero2001.

What... the hell? When did that even happen, and why?

It's likely whoever proposed the original alias was running off of outdated information but didn't realize they were. Pan paniscus was elevated to species status in 1933, but common perception was confused about it for decades afterwards because they were commonly called pygmy chimpanzees as if they were just shortstack chimps.

The bulk update request #2462 is active.

remove alias pan_(genus) (800) -> chimpanzee (691)
remove implication chimpanzee (691) -> ape (6280)

Reason: As FavFeral points out above, this is needed to separate pan_(genus) from chimpanzee so it can serve as an umbrella tag for chimpanzee and bonobo.

This is the first part of additional implications for bonobos and chimps. A followup BUR will include:

imply chimpanzee -> pan_(genus)
imply bonobo -> pan_(genus)
imply pan_(genus) -> ape

EDIT: The bulk update request #2462 (forum #334320) has been approved by @gattonero2001.
