BUR #28472 has been rejected.

create implication dinosaur_riding -> riding_animal
create implication riding_bird -> riding_animal
create implication dragon_riding -> riding_animal
create implication dragon_riding -> dragon
create implication riding_bear -> riding_animal
create implication riding_bear -> bear
create implication riding_boar -> riding_animal
create implication riding_boar -> boar
remove implication dinosaur_riding -> riding
remove implication riding_bird -> riding

For the generic "riding a non equine" tag.

Riding_animal

Use when character is riding on the back of any animal other than a horse or horse-like creature. This includes unicorns, pegasuses, centaurs, other equids like donkeys and mechanical horses.

See horseback riding for riding a horse or horse-like creature.

*Some of these already imply the various creatures.
*Riding animal already implies riding so implying both is redundant.

Why would you create a specific new tag when dinosaur riding + tyrannosaurus rex is enough?

Because of the trope and already existing hyper specific tags like riding bear or riding boar or horseback_archery when one could search horseback riding and archery. Mostly when someone thinks about riding dinosaurs they think of t rexes but it doesn't make sense for the tag to be called that when there's other dinos, hence the child tag.

The existence similar tags is not enough alone to justify creating a new tag especially if it's a composite with very few posts. There are only 8 posts in dinosaur_riding tyrannosaurus_rex and all of them except one show somebody riding a t-rex, which makes a riding t-rex tag pointless.
For comparison, there are several posts in horseback_riding archery which don't qualify for the horseback archery tag.

I'm a bit confused, does it only count as horseback archery if someone is in the "pulling back the arrow" part of using a bow? If not and I didn't miss something when looking through them, then there's then there's only one image that decisively doesn't fit post #4808215. And two edge cases in that the person wielding the bow is drawing from the quiver post #4422206 and this one where the character is riding a centaur post #6183747.

Also I don't think pony play with a human(oid) should be tagged with horseback_riding post #5684382?

But if it only counts if they're currently shooting the bow then yes.

@TrueKringe unrelated to the above but I'm a bit confused by the archery wiki and you wrote it:

The practice of shooting an arrow using a bow. Either as a form of combat or as a recreational sport.

Only apply this tag when the character is seen actually using the bow and arrow (such as preparing to hit the target). Do not apply this tag simply because the character is holding a bow.

What exactly constitutes "using the bow and arrow"? Obviously pulling the bowstring back does but does reaching back to reload it count post #7343829, post #7344463? What about this post #7343805 where the character isn't actively using it but is strongly implied to be in the midst of doing so?

I've removed the tag from some posts where the character was just standing stationary post #7187089, post #5688324 with the bow and arrow and added them to some where they're obviously pulling back the bowstring post #7335554, post #7551299 but I wasn't so sure about the edge cases.
