Topic: (BUR) boat/ship wheels

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #2525 is pending approval.

create alias boat_wheel (10) -> boat's_wheel (0)
create alias ships_wheel (6) -> ship's_wheel (0)
create implication boat's_wheel (0) -> watercraft's_wheel (0)
create implication ship's_wheel (0) -> watercraft's_wheel (0)

Reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship%27s_wheel
says "A ship's wheel or boat's wheel is a device used aboard a water vessel to steer that vessel ..."

Suggest boat's_wheel and ship's_wheel be different tags because a
1) a boat is a SMALLer watercraft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boat says "A boat is a watercraft ... generally smaller than a ship,"
2) a ship is a LARGE watercraft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship says "A ship is a large watercraft that travels the world's oceans and other sufficiently deep waterways, carrying cargo or passengers"

***

Both boat and ship imply to watercraft.

Also, e621 aliases have boat tag separate from ship tag

boat tag: tags that alias to boat : row_boat, rowing-boat, pleasure_craft, rowingboat, row-boat, pleasure_boat, narrow_boat, rowboat, rowing_boat, and narrowboat

ship tags: tags that alias to ship: pirate_ship, woodship, naval_ship, wooden_ship, viking_ship, and wood_ship

I wonder if steering_wheel would be a better option? When I read boat_wheel, I thought it was about an amphibious vehicle.
