create implication anthro_to_taur (58) -> taurification (454)
create implication human_to_taur (186) -> taurification (454)
create implication humanoid_to_taur (21) -> taurification (454)
create implication feral_to_taur (4) -> taurification (454)
create implication inanimate_to_taur (0) -> taurification (454)

Reason: the *_to_taur is in general called "taurification"

*ification and *ized tags are a bit funky. Some of them are for alternate forms, some of them are for transformation.

I think the -ification and -ized tags should be kept separate from form/species transformation, like how crossgender is kept separate from gender transformation. The -ification and -ized tags should be used when a character is depicted differently just because the artist wanted to, not because of a transformation.

While I agree, people will continue to use the tags wrong, so we should figure out something to make it more obvious

Different names could probably help, though I can't think of anything that wouldn't make the distinction clearer for specific forms (even alternate_species itself still confuses some people who'll tag it on species_transformation posts). I'm actually not sure English is well suited to distinguishing 'transformed into X' vs 'as an X just because', as the latter can be taken as the result of the former.
