The bulk update request #6027 is active.

change category carnivore (28) -> invalid
change category herbivore (5) -> invalid
change category omnivore (0) -> invalid

Reason: What's the point of these tags? To tag carnivous animals carnivore and herbivorous animals herbivore? That's pointless then. Why not imply carnivore to wolf, bear and fox then?
E6 already has predator and prey tags, causing these to be more pointless.

No wiki, not sure what purpose these serve and worst of all no idea if anyone would ever search or blacklist these.

Because somebody might try to tag preds and preys on images, but may not know the actual names, I decided to change their category. Aliasing them to invalid_tag would be dumb.
Including omnivore because it is gonna be used wrong like the other 2.

You're not considering furry logic into the equation. In fiction: we can make any species be herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. What about a wolf who only eats plants? Carnivore wouldn't work there. Or a world where where carnivores and herbivores are flipped?

If these tags were used more commonly, people would naturally learn to blacklist them more frequently; a tags growth comes with time.

There is no logic behind any of these tags or how they're tagged. They have no wiki and are used exactly how they're described on my post. I removed a carnivore tag from a post of a head trophy with a dragon head on it yesterday, that's it there was nothing else on that post. What youre suggesting would be a better fit for herbivore_(lore) and carnivore_(lore) anyway, not a general tag.

Herbivore has had a wiki since 2016-02-06

Also, if you agree that lore tags are a better fit, shouldn't you have made a forum post about that instead?

You made the wiki for the other 2 tags I just assumed you did the same for Herbivore. Ironically, the definition on that wiki is exactly how I described their use on my post and exactly why they are pointless.

I said your use of the tags would be a better fit for lore tags. As they stand, there's no reason for them to be used in any capacity since they're so redundant. And since I wanna invalidate them, not alias them to invalid_tag, they can always be aliased to their lore counterparts once and if an admin decides to make lore tags for them. Dunno if that would happen though.
