The bulk update request #3643 is pending approval.

remove implication hariet_(mario) (655) -> broodal (719)
remove implication madame_broode (65) -> broodal (719)
remove implication rango_(mario) (7) -> broodal (719)
remove implication topper_(mario) (12) -> broodal (719)
remove implication spewart (6) -> broodal (719)
change category broodal (719) -> species

Reason: Broodals should be treated as a species, it's completely unfitting for it to be another character tag.
Once changed, characters don't imply species, so it should also be unimplicated.

Post BUR

implicate hariet_(mario) -> super_mario_odyssey
implicate madame_broode -> super_mario_odyssey
implicate rango_(mario) -> super_mario_odyssey
implicate topper_(mario) -> super_mario_odyssey
implicate spewart -> super_mario_odyssey

Since the game is currently only implied through the species tag, the characters themselves implicated to the game.

AFAIK there's nothing stopping you from putting the implications currently marked for post BUR into the OP BUR. Implications aren't restricted from being redundant.

Actually no. I initially did have them in the BUR and it stopped me.

This. I had The question in the Discord, why it isn't possible this way. I wanted to provide some clarification about it.

Which doesn't help anyone who comes into this thread who doesn't have a discord or otherwise refuses to join the server.

Took me manually entering the link into the channel itself, as it can't actually load a channel message through browser:

Short semi-off-topic question:
Why isn't it possible to unalias and alias a tag to another one in one BUR. Is this a safety measure, or is it just not implemented yet? And are there plans on adding it?

Rainbow Dash said:
It's possible but they normally collide and fuck up

Clawstripe said:
Because there's no guarantee the lines will execute in the same order they're presented.

DubsTheFox said:
Is this going to be fixed, or is it a problem we simply have to live with?

Clawstripe said:
So, the BUR could be trying to alias tag X to tag Y while it's still aliased to tag Z, even though the line with the unaliasing is put before the line with the aliasing.

Rainbow Dash said:
I'm not even sure we know why it does it in that order, or how we would fix it

Clawstripe said:
If it's even possible with our current programming. Kira or Earlopain would know far more than I ever could.
I'm just passing along what little I do understand.

DubsTheFox said:
hmm. sad. Maybe we have to wait for them to answer. Let's hope they see it.

Earlopain said:
It's because of the way it is
The bur lines mostly get executed in background jobs, so there is no guarantee of the order of execution, since they happen in parallel

That makes sense for aliases, but it's also effecting an implication.

I am sorry, but that's not my problem, if one doesn't have Discord. It helps those who have it. It's a very clear explanation by the mods, and that's what I can point towards the community. To hopefully help a little.

Personally, I believe it would be better/easier to upload a screenshot to imgur and link that to the thread instead.

I think Furrin_Gok removed this problem pretty well. I didn't see his post yesterday.
