Aliasing cybernetic → cybernetics
Link to alias

Reason:

Do we really need a cybernetics tag? Isn't cyborg sufficient?

well, a cyborg is a character, maybe it's possible to have a display of cybernetics that doesn't involve a cyborg?

I don't think having only a cybernetic eye qualifies as being a cyborg, but I have a feeling the line isn't exactly clear.

In definition, cyborg definitely "implies" cybernetics, but whether or not the tags should do that as well is another issue.

Aliasing cybernetic to --> cybernetics is approved.

The definition of cyborg is very specific, so keeping a cybernetics tag allows the stuff which does not fit all of those requirements to still be tagged as having cybernetics involved. Also, that might be because cyborg is a species, while cybernetics are a trait that can be found on many types of species. So it makes sense to keep them as separate tags for now.

Though I do wonder about an implication?

I'd be definitely supportive of an implication. You can't really have one without the other. Any posts outside of it would probably be just androids that are mistagged. I had actually included this in forum #145008 but only a few of them went through so far.
