Horseback archery implications

BUR #23440 has been rejected.

create implication horseback_archery -> archery
create implication horseback_archery -> horseback_riding
create implication archery -> bow_(weapon)

Just made the horseback_archery tag after seeing it on several images but no wiki page for it, adding implications for it. Also archery should imply bow.

It can be a two tag search with proper gardening.

create implication archery -> bow_(weapon)

Would we consider the use of a crossbow to be archery? Or mounted crossbowmen to be engaging in horseback archery?

I sure hope not, that's not what archery means.

I'm more confused about archery's existence. We don't have an equivalent for guns or other weapons.

I find it ironic that the wiki of archery asks it to be used only on posts where the bow is in use, and yet kyuudou is implicated to it which catches things like post #6931491. I don't think this tag is useful, given that we already have the more populous and less ambiguous drawing bow.

There is an equivalent for guns, called firing.

Firing is actually used for a lot more things, including bows: firing bow_(weapon).

Ah, I never knew that second clause was in there. In that case I think it makes more sense to deprecate archery and horseback archery, given that it sets an odd precedent, overlaps with existing tags, wants to use a noun as a verb, and like Kiara said, works fine as a two-tag search.

deprecate archery
deprecate horseback_archery

Alternatively. I don’t think we can be confident enough to nuke them outright, since every tag always has random junk in it.
