Implicating red_wolf -> wolf.

Reason: Red wolves are a wolf subspecies.

This is true, but, particularly in art, they have a particualrly visually distinctive style. Or.. did the last time I looked. arctic_fox is a widely used tag.... yet it's 'jsut' a fox sub species.

It's an implication, not an alias. Looks like allot of people get confused by the different between the two.

Just like "artic_fox" is auto-tagged with "fox", this would allow anything tagged with "red_wolf" to be tagged with "wolf" as well.

This ought to go through.

agreed

I only find red wolves hot; any other color and they're just disgusting.

Sorry - I should probably give more constructive feedback here.

I mean.. I would totally support this idea if people were more consistant abut tagging red_fur and black_fur...

But... well.. I dunno.

Hrm.

This is really kind of annoying, honestly.

The ethiopian_wolf really looks different then, say, a gray wolf, but none of the wolves under the tag look at all like the Ethiopian wolves you find pictures of on google images. in fact, most of them look like foxes, and are only 'ethiopian' in that they are said to be ethiopian.

and yet, arctic_wolf is a tag as well. and Arctic wolves are even less their own species then an ethiopian wolf, or a red wolf...

I dunno.

Dingos (Canis lupus dingo), and domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are all 'subspecies' of wolves also... yet have their own individual tags...

I dunno..

On one hand, I say "but they're all different, they deserve different tags" but the more important question is, I suppose, are they visually distinctive enough when drawn to make them so?

Perhaps actual 'species names' for wolves (not dingo, or domestic dogs) should be completely set aside in favor of more 'descriptive' tags? Black_wolf, gray_wolf, White_wolf/arctic_wolf, red_wolf etc?

And have each set up with a few implications: Arctic_wolf implies white_fur, canine, and wolf; gray_wolf implies gray_fur, canine, and wolf and so forth.

I think that might be the 'safest' idea, over all, and honestly would make an overall positive change to wolf-like tagging.

....also, durf, I'm an idiot. I just realized the original post was an implication, not an alias. Imma idiot.
