Imply holding_scabbard -> scabbard

create implication holding_scabbard -> scabbard

If a character is holding a scabbard, the image has to feature a scabbard, which prompts me to request that holding_scabbard implies scabbard.

Related, topic #23630

@TheArchivist2250 holding_scabbard also needs to imply holding.

There's also holding sheath.

Considering how holding_scabbard only has about 85 posts, and holding_sheath 4.5k, do you think it would be wiser to instead alias holding_scabbard to holding_sheath (which also already have implications)

Scabbard itself has not been properly defined for 15 years of the tag existing besides being understood as a subset of sheath. We don't need to have holding implications for both, so ideally the implication should be made against the most base version of the tag. I would agree with an alias so that people who still tag it holding scabbard will get holding sheath instead. The alias should just be about the holding tag, scabbard and sheath themselves should stay distinct until someone's ready to retable discussion about giving them a clear definition.

Related precedents: we do not have holding katana because a katana is a sword therefore holding sword is the proper tag to use there. Similarly, holding polearm instead of holding spear.

As above. Sheath already has the related implications for holding and sheath.
