Implicating jet → airplane
Link to implication

Reason:

Jets are airplanes, plane and simple... well, at least, the way the tag is used on this site, jet applies to airplanes.

Approved.

Sorry, I screwed this one up. I just realized that this is not such a good idea because of this guy: post #106436

Jet engines can be designed for use in water. This is something that I could fix manually after the implication is deleted; there aren't that many airplane tags

How about using something like jet_powered for that?

There are also characters called jet but I'm taking care of those with jet_(character).

Maybe jet should be a disambiguation page and the tag should be jet_engine... but I don't know if that's necessary.

I think we're ok. Devices like that shark is wearing are already tagged in the dozens under jet_pack, which I think is a little more clear for it anyways. And characters named "Jet" should be under jet_(character) or their own individual tags instead. So after making sure all uses were covered with better and already existing tags, and the usage seemed to be keeping fairly consistant between all three, I went ahead and approved the implication of the aircraft-filled jet tag to --> airplane. I had figured if there was anything which needed cleaned between them, it would be a case of an occasional mistag, and not a reason to deny the implication since all the uses had other clearer tags for them. And confusion in usage between the tags seemed to be mostly absent.

But I updated the jet wiki so that it mentions the other two related tags now, and moved the one character and the one jet_pack that I saw scanning through it.

But... but how am I to find my jet-powered boats now

it's pretty much impossible to find different kinds of boats through the tagging system.
(Maybe "Speedboat" or something)

yes I know that's not what most people come here for but still

I know, but I love me some big powerful things like boats and planes and stuff. If you want to sort out the mess between boat and ship and fill out tags like speedboat, etc maybe? I know we have the tag sailboat but it looks like it needs some cleaning. But if you want to dig in and sort these out into something manageable, then I'd be in support of getting it all implicated once it's sorted. I know were not a boat-focused site, but I think some of the major distinct types like row boats, sail boats, the ships with all the rigging, etc could certainly stand having a tag and a little organization. Currently boat and ship are an overlapping mess that doesn't really help anyone find anything in them. I think it could be better than that.

It might help if both implied something like watercraft, which would also keep people from tagging airships, spaceships, and, you know, "Shipping" as ship. I don't know how necessary that is, though. I'll take a look at the boat/ship tags on Friday.
Edit: Also submarines should be included in "Watercraft" (they're officially boats, but that would be confusing)

I was going to suggest something like "Motorboat" but, well, you know...
