Zodiac Implications

Posted under Tags

BUR #20830 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create implication aries_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication taurus_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication gemini_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication cancer_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication leo_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication virgo_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication libra_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication scorpio_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication sagittarius_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication capricorn_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication aquarius_(zodiac) -> zodiac
create implication pisces_(zodiac) -> zodiac

Turns out the twelve zodiac signs didn't imply zodiac already (despite being qualified as such!), so I'd like to get that fixed.

While the majority of posts in them look relevant enough that I'm not opposed to it, the tags for the zodiac signs would benefit from some gardening before the BUR goes through.

Should images like post #3607927 (a girl wearing a necklace and hat with the Aries symbol) and post #3407119 (a girl with the actual constellation of Aries, and many other constellations, on her clothes) really be tagged "zodiac"?

Now that I really look at them...I agree some gardening would be lovely. What seems to mainly trip people up is the symbols used to represent each zodiac sign, as well as the associated constellations associated with them. The intended purpose of these tags is for astrology themed art, split into the twelve respective zodiac signs. Using Aries as our example here, a possible solution to the former issue would be to garden these "symbol only" posts into a separate tag like "Aries (symbol)" in order to keep them from clogging up the tag away from Aries as depicted in actual astrological-themed posts like post #6469124.

As for constellations...Well, they're constellations that happen to come with certain associations. Not every instance of a zodiac constellation is going to be zodiac-themed, if that makes sense. If I wanted to see artwork with Aries the constellation, I'd browse Aries (constellation) as opposed to Aries (zodiac). So in this case, I'd say "No, use their constellation tags instead". That's not to say the constellations can't crop up in Zodiac-themed artwork (like in post #6624701), but it'd be better if both Aries (zodiac) and Aries (constellation) only be together on the same post in cases like these.

In any case, I am realizing these tags need quite a bit more work than merely some missing implications. Not too much, as zodiac has under a thousand post (and each respective sign hovers a bit above, at, or a bit below the 200 mark), so it shouldn't be too hard to clean these up. Just gotta figure out how.

Also, I'm noticing what often racks up unwanted posts in these tags are pictures of the zodiac wheel (Ex: post #6553707), then tagged with all their signs. Should we make a tag for that, while we're at it here?

@nonamethanks, I finally finished cleaning up the zodiac posts. Sorted them into actual zodiac posts, and the ones that could go into the new symbol tags and be left alone. Also cleaned up the respective wiki pages and removed the clause stating that it be used for any presence of the symbol. These implications should be ready to go through now.

I also made a zodiac wheel tag for all the pictures of the symbols on a wheel I kept seeing, but I'm not sure if we should implicate that to the regular zodiac tag or not, as I don't think most people searching that tag wanna see things like post #5193996 or worse post #6104929 when searching zodiac. I know I sure don't.
