The tag alias #63426 chaos_space_marine -> human has been rejected.

Reason: Chaos Space Marines are humans, albeit heavily augmented and enhanced transhumans. Therefore, the presence of a Chaos Space Marine should also mean the presence of a human.

EDIT: The tag alias chaos_space_marine -> human (forum #370637) has been rejected by @slyroon.

I wonder how many of those are actually valid uses. Chaos Space Marine is currently a species tag, but a number of results, like
post #2818494 post #1630124 post #489257
are just the armor being worn by other species.

I don't think I like this either way, given the description "heavily augmented and enhanced transhumans". Sounds more like humanoid would apply, but since we TWYS, a humanoid can sometimes look like a human, so you can't be sure what applies on a given image.

This is also an alias when it should've been an implication.

... Given "Chaos Space Marine" can also mean everything from a cloud of dust in an empty suit of armour, to a puddle of puss and rotten organs in a suit of armour, to a twisted mishmash of meat and machinery, it seems a somewhat vague tag to use to begin with.

Seems like the move might be to unspecies CSM (adeptus astartes is already general category), and devoid any one identifiable feature that says "this is a spess mehreen", just make a habit of tagging them as human and/or small head when applicable, and potentially have tags for specific legions imply CSM/Adeptus Astartes as appropriate.
