remove alias iguana (1409) -> iguanid (1415)
remove implication blue_iguana (10) -> iguanid (1415)
remove implication marine_iguana (32) -> iguanid (1415)
remove implication iguana_(genus) (28) -> iguanid (1415)
remove implication green_iguana (17) -> iguana_(genus) (28)
remove implication lesser_antillean_iguana (0) -> iguana_(genus) (28)
remove implication galápagos_land_iguana (1) -> iguanid (1415)
remove alias galapagos_land_iguana (0) -> galápagos_land_iguana (1)
remove implication spinytail_iguana (0) -> iguanid (1415)
remove implication rock_iguana (0) -> iguanid (1415)
remove implication desert_iguana (55) -> iguanid (1415)

Reason: Iguana is currently aliased to iguanid because of taxonomic reasons. The family Iguanidae consists of a number of groups, most of which are called iguanas, but one of which are called chuckwallas. There has never been a single chuckwalla posted here. I think the practical solution here is to group all of the iguanas together into a tag (it would be a polyphyletic group, but we don't have to (and shouldn't) strictly follow taxonomy here), and then have iguana and chuckwalla both imply iguanid.

The current tree setup is really half-assed as well, and a few of these tags have never been used.

Followup 1:

mass update iguanid -> iguana

Followup 2:

imply iguana -> iguanid
imply blue_iguana -> iguana
imply marine_iguana -> iguana
imply green_iguana -> iguana
imply lesser_antillean_iguana -> iguana
imply galapagos_land_iguana -> iguana
imply spinytail_iguana -> iguana
imply rock_iguana -> iguana
imply desert_iguana -> iguana

But that could be changed...

Basically a minor reorganization for when someone finally posts a chuckwalla? That works for me.

Maybe we ought to have uploader challenges. :p Tonight's challenge: Find e621 acceptable art of a chuckwalla and upload it. The winner gets bragging rights. :p

You posted post #4630864 just to get a post under the 1312 year tag, im sure that can be easily rectified

There is, surprisingly, quite a few perfectly acceptable posts already on FA. Amazing that none of them have shown up here yet.

I was considering drawing something just to populate the tag (lizards are kinda my thing, y’know), but with how much art is already out there, someone will probably upload some of it before I even finish. :p

dang Clawstripe beat me by a minute, now there's two :)

Instead of my foot, I might as well put my money where my mouth is. :p

The tag autocomplete still has the iguana -> iguanid alias, but luckily it's not in place
