Topic: Missing limb implications

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #13408 is pending approval.

create implication missing_arm (2742) -> missing_limb (276)
create implication missing_leg (1165) -> missing_limb (276)
create implication missing_all_arms (713) -> missing_arm (2742)
create implication missing_all_legs (479) -> missing_leg (1165)

Reason: Arms and legs are limbs.

create implication 1_missing_limb (451) -> missing_limb (276)
create implication 2_missing_limbs (816) -> missing_limb (276)
create implication 3_missing_limbs (87) -> missing_limb (276)
create implication 4_missing_limbs (2925) -> missing_limb (276)

Reason: Followup for the above.

...honestly, I'd rather exterminate the numbered tags for consistency. Given the distribution, I'd say most are really more interested in missing_all_arms/missing_all_legs (for 2_missing_limbs) & quadruple_amputee/missing_all_limbs (for 4_missing_limbs). Although there isn't currently a missing_all_limbs tag, I'd rather do something like...

alias 1_missing_limb -> missing_limb
alias 2_missing_limbs -> missing_limb
alias 3_missing_limbs -> missing_limb
alias 4_missing_limbs -> missing_all_limbs

...maybe with an added...

imply missing_all_limbs -> missing_all_arms
imply missing_all_limbs -> missing_all_legs

...but maybe there's edge cases where that isn't inherently true.

I can definitely see the reasoning there. I figured we should keep them because they could serve as umbrella tags for different combinations of missing limbs, like if a character was missing an arm and a leg. Thinking about it now, characters with more than four limbs being featured in posts like this might make it an issue, since we'd have to tag them with 6_missing_limbs or 8_missing limbs, and so on. An alias might be warranted.

The bulk update request #13660 is pending approval.

create implication missing_all_limbs (173) -> missing_all_legs (479)
create implication missing_all_limbs (173) -> missing_all_arms (713)

Is it possible to include missing_all_limbs?
I said in another forum but "all" can work for characters with more than 5 limbs. (taurs, insects and other species I can't name right now...)

Edit: There may be creatures with only legs or arms so maybe imply missing_all_limbs -> missing_limb might be better...
