The tag alias #60669 ophanim -> ophan has been approved.

Reason: "Ophanim" is the plural of "Ophan", as "Cherubim" is to "Cherub" and "Seraphim" is to "Seraph". Given that species tags are generally singular, I think this is a fairly logical change.

EDIT: The tag alias ophanim -> ophan (forum #354630) has been approved by @furrypickle.

The bulk update request #3915 is active.

create implication ophan (63) -> angel (7622)

Reason: Further, since ophanim are amongst the highest in the hierarchy of angels, like cherubim and seraphim, they too should imply angel (specifically, wheel-shaped ones covered with many eyes).

What to do about biblically_accurate_angel, then? I suppose we should alias that to ophan as well?

I'd say no. Ophans aren't the only biblically accurate angels on the site. I'd say the only thing biblically_accurate_angel ought to imply (if at all) is angel, although they could also refer to fallen angels, which would be tagged as demons.

Perhaps these various types of biblically accurate angels can all imply biblically_accurate_angel, which then implies angel? Thus leaving out the baby-with-wings sort of angels, which are still inevitably going to be tagged as angel.

That could work.

Technically, those are putti (singular: putto), although they'll probably be confused with Cupid at times.
