The bulk update request #9439 is pending approval.

create implication inside_small_intestine (26) -> inside_intestines (68)
create implication inside_colon (33) -> inside_intestines (68)
create implication ileocecal_valve (6) -> sphincter (51)
create implication pyloric_sphincter (33) -> sphincter (51)
create implication esophageal_sphincter (531) -> sphincter (51)
create implication inside_intestines (68) -> intestines (2066)
create implication colon (49) -> guts (2838)
create alias sphincter (51) -> internal_sphincter (4)

Reason: As part of a tagging project I started recently, a lot of subtype tags have been used which implicate the presence of other organs. For instance inside_small_intestines or inside_colon implicate inside_intestines as they are different parts of the intestines. I also figure gut related tags implicate guts.
And a lot of these tags are basically specific gut tags for the sake of being able to browse more specific kinds of guts. Some of the tags have a backlog of populating to do (especially the "gut type" tags I will admit, I am unsure how to handle as it seems a forestomach and crop are differentiated along with how OC species have unique guts at times like how Avali seem to have stomach villi so maybe sticking to tagging specific gut elements (ex. villi and rugae) makes more sense?). The reason Rugae and Villi do not implicate the stomach or intestines is due to the special guts deal. As in, ive noticed Rugae and Villi might not actually be in the expected organs. I even encountered unbirth where villi lined the vagina of the pred. As a result I think it a safe bet to implicate internal view but not implicate the more specific kinds of gut.

I think an all-encompassing sphincter tag may not be a good idea, as it's largely known in association with the anal sphincter. If people tag sphincter because of a visible anus, which I fear many would if they knew of the tag, it would end up just giving mostly anuses and not be useful to find the other sphincters.

Good point. Unsure what else to call it, deep_sphincter? With the tag itself being used when the sphincter type isn't identifiable due to some pred anatomy that is peculiar.

how about internal_sphincter?

I like that one.
