Topic: [APPROVED] unimply patch_(marking) -> facial_markings

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #6497 is active.

remove implication patch_(marking) (556) -> facial_markings (49036)
create implication eye_patch_(marking) (400) -> facial_markings (49036)
create implication eye_patch_(marking) (400) -> patch_(marking) (556)

Reason: Was looking for a tag for patched markings and noticed that patch_(marking) implies facial_markings. I can only assume this is because the tag is supposed to refer to the common patch over the eye like this.

But there's no tag for patches elsewhere on the body. I don't see a point in creating a new one when it's bound to be confused with this one due to the vague naming.
I propose eye_patch_(marking) as a separate, more clear tag for the over the eye patch and let patch_(marking) be for any type of patch marking.

Afterward:
imply patch_(marking) -> markings

EDIT: The bulk update request #6497 (forum #390358) has been approved by @slyroon.

Patches elsewhere on the body? Aren't those spots? Spotted_body or spots? If you're looking for multi-colored spots, usually leopard_spots fits best

There's overlap but spots aren't what I'm looking for. Patches are large sections of differentiated color or pattern, more free-form than spots and can be large enough to cover entire sections of the body. I'm too sleepy to explain good, so take some examples:
This girl has a mix of spots stripes and patches.

Red patches. I wouldn't call these spots.
