Topic: Tag Alias: ox -> bovine

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Aliasing ox → bovine
Link to alias

Reason:

Not an actual species or specific breed, but a class of bovine (ox comes from a very old word that meant the same as "bull"). Oxen are basically draft animals used for doing heavy work. They are often cattle, but apparently other bovines are called oxen as well, so this is probably the best place to put it.

Also: oxen -> bovine, while we're here.

I would have thought an implication would work better, but if it's being used as a category like Bovine is, then an alias is needed.

Yeah, I always thought it was a breed. But then again, I've seen it used a lot for just "male generic bovine, often muscles and horns" which wouldn't be a valid tag. Looking into it, it's kind of a generic and all over the place tag. So this is probably a good idea. Approved both.
