Topic: Tag un-implication club -> weapon

Posted under General

What about the club as a shape, you know like a suite in a deck of cards, not sure if this is a needed thing, but still putting it out there.

Why not add club_(place) for all we care, no problem

Because that is entirely pointless.

Then make it club_(point) so it isn't :V

club_(weapon) makes more sense.

It really isn't. Using the same tag for club (weapon) and club (place people go dancing) is stupid. Therefore we need to separate the two uses. The typical way to do that is by adding _(disambiguating_word) to one of the uses.

This implication is pretty clearly terrible regardless of if any further differentiation is done between the two or not. Implicating weapon on anything tagged club causes mistagging which is worse than merely having club mean two different things (which is just inconvenient and somewhat annoying).

Rave probably implies club in most cases so that would be a decent starting point to see where it could also be tagged

having the weapon be club_(weapon), the club symbol from cards as club_(suit), and club as in various forms of dance, rave, and strip clubs et al be "club" sounds good.... But then we run into the problem of it being used as a generic for any type of club, rather than the specific clubs being tagged, as FinallyLostIt noted. So strip_club and nightclub and the rest should imply club, and the wiki should be updated to include that information.

Does anyone disagree with this being the better option?
