Topic: Question: New to making an implication

Posted under General

Hey, I was wondering a few things before I do anything, mainly to avoid giving folks headaches and the like. I want to make a list of implications for the Changed_(video_game) to imply Latex_beast as the game calls them as a whole. So, how do I do it? Do I need to make a wiki page before doing such? Should I make the request beforehand and worry about the wiki and such after? Never did this kind of thing before and seen others do such, so wanted to touch base on things.

The bulk update request #2534 is active.

create implication behemoth_(changed) (5) -> changed_(video_game) (3128)
create implication crystal_wolf_(changed) (10) -> changed_(video_game) (3128)
create implication elder_dragon_(changed) (16) -> changed_(video_game) (3128)
create implication hypnocat_(changed) (45) -> changed_(video_game) (3128)
create implication ming_cat_(changed) (3) -> changed_(video_game) (3128)
create implication prototype_(changed) (18) -> changed_(video_game) (3128)
create implication spider_tiger_(changed) (17) -> changed_(video_game) (3128)
create implication the_wolf_king_(changed) (22) -> changed_(video_game) (3128)
create implication white_knight_(changed) (5) -> changed_(video_game) (3128)

Reason: Implication of character tags to copyright tag

@The_Shinx

When you need to implicate (and/or alias) several tags at the same time, it is preferable to write a Bulk Update Request like the above one. A tag doesn't need a wiki at all to have relationships.

EDIT: The bulk update request #2534 (forum #335608) has been approved by @gattonero2001.

First off, you can enter [[latex_beast]] and get latex_beast, a link to the wiki. When discussing, this is helpful to let others look into the wiki without much effort.

At present, that seems to be an empty tag. What can be considered unique about the latex beasts of Changed from generic living_latex and goo_creatures?

To spare you from all the headache of getting your implication requests declined and having to revise it, learn to use Bulk Update Requests (BUR) as it allows you to edit out mistakes or revise your implication requests on the spot.

As for the actual implication itself, you should imply species -> copyright.
Understand that every time that species tag gets used, it will imply the copyright tag.

Ideally, you should make sure that there is a wiki in place for the new tag you are suggesting, as well as some justification to have a separate tag as opposed to using goo_creature.
Include defining characteristics for the species, rename it to latex_beast_(changed) if you don't want people to confuse it with any generic latex creature.

This is probbaly a good idea to go with, given how, say, I want to use ref of a latex beast from the game that other artists had done, but don't want to basically go "Changed_(video_game) -human" or listing out every last one of the latex beast themselves to view them all.

I'm probably wrong on this part, but wanted to try and see if it could be done; wanted to be able to easily find them as a whole, akin to the "Pokémon_(species)". Like I said above, trying to find them as a whole, say, from an artist view point as a ref, is a bit annoying. I'm probably wrong in my thinking, but I rather get input on such rather then waste time pushing for something that's not going to happen.

Sorry if it seems like I'm seem like I'm aimless, but I just want to be on the safe side of things more than anything.
