Various implications for fanning

Posted under General

What you are saying is sort of backwards though.

Fan_speaking is vocalizing into an electric fan to get that vibrato-like effect. Speaking into a paper fan would make no sense as it wouldn't produce the effect, and hence not be a taggable concept. Thus it makes sense to make an electric_fan's a prerequisite for fan_speaking, and just to enforce that it gets tagged, put an implication in place. So fan_speaking -> fanning_face and fan_speaking -> elecrical_fan make sense.

For the other two, fanning_self is fine, but despite what might currently be tagged, there is nothing about fanning one's face or fanning one's crotch that requires an electrical fan. A paper or folding fan would work just as well. In those cases, the implication to electrical_fan would be incorrect and cause those cases to be untaggable.

Likewise, fanning, (despite how the wiki is currently written) doesn't inherently imply nor provide any reason to suggest the fan be manual (even less so if you use fanning_self as a phrase to require an electric fan).

We need to re-think these tags and make sure all our implications and aliases are logically valid. Of these tags, only fan_speaking seems to require a certain type of fan. I'm not sure there is a real good reason to necessarily introduce combo tags here to separate electric and manual fans otherwise. The type of fan if necessary can be added as another tag to the query.
