Please don't tell me you're implying post #8830124 should be 1boy and not mecha focus.

But yes this is a fundamental disagreement on the nature how things should be classified not an issue with the tag name itself.

I mean, I think it should be (tagged as 1boy, I mean, not removing mecha focus). Transformers are sentient humanoid robots, not mechas that are piloted by people.

I never said anything about mecha_focus; please don't put words in my mouth. Obviously that post qualifies. But as far as I'm aware, sentient, non-piloted mecha should be tagged with gender tags, something that's already been happening for a long time now. If anyone has issues with this, then that's a topic for a seperate thread so as to avoid derailing this one.

BUR #41424 has been rejected.

create alias no_humans -> no_humanoids

Nth times the charm?

This really seems to be the best option and has been attempted by multiple people multiple times over multiple years. No people just sounds odd and might run into the same issue of "oh that's gardivor, not a person". "Non humanoid only" would exclude scenery and object focus.

The only alternative is (see next bur)

Edit: All the previous times this exact rename has been attempted. All by 3 different people and now a fourth person with me.

BUR #38452 +17 / -9
BUR #31947 +14 / -1
BUR #3001 +4 / -2

BUR #41425 has been rejected.

create alias no_humans -> no_humanoids
remove alias no_humans -> no_humanoids
create implication no_humanoids -> no_humans
mass update -> (furry_female or furry_male) solo chartags:1 copytags:1 -disembodied_* -faceless* -cosplay -fake* rating:g -*skin (standing or running) (sonic_(series) or pokemon_(creature) or animal_crossing) -> no_humans
mass update favgroup:43690 -> no_humans

.... If people want this to be more granular. So no humans for anything not a person (eg, pokemon regardless of wether it's eevee or gardivor) while no humanoids is for what this thread describes.

Alias and unalias is there to move the wiki.

Edit: Favgroups can only have 10k posts each, the bur has been updated with a mass update search. The reason it is gendered furry instead of just furry is to filter out people tagging non humanoid animals/pokemon/etc with furry, when rated g that should only catch actual anthros. An extra safety precaution was initially just pulling from the "big" furry copyrights in the search and leave more complicated things to the favgroups.

If you do that then no humans isn't going to be populated when the alias is removed and then trying to imply it will fail because then no humanoids is going to have the same number of posts as no humans (they would be equivalent searches). Create a favgroup and mass update it instead.

@wrs I should probs have mentioned that this would include adding that tag to posts. I'll add a starting fav group real quick.

You "probably" should have done that before you pitched the BUR. If the edited-in ping was to notify me that you hadn't finished the other half, my vote still won't change because I specifically voted against your unedited BUR that moved no humans then tried to imply a tag that would be a functionally equivalent search. Now I have a second reason to maintain the downvote and that's because you edited a BUR that already had votes on it.

Make sure to do the work prior to requesting a BUR so you don't invalidate opinions due to posting a half-finished request.
