Species Listing

@LightningBolt  
phoenix implies bird though.

articuno → pokémon, legendary pokémon, nintendo, avian  
zapdos → pokémon, legendary pokémon, nintendo, avian
 
Also, what’s the site policy WRT Lugia? Avian or not? There are plenty of arguments either way there.

I said many times, NO to Pokemon species implying real world species.
 
Stop it.
 
It’s not happening. You can TAG them, but don’t imply them.
 
It causes too many headaches and also people can draw them differently.

@Fleetfoot  

This is technically wrong - those are not families, as this example for red fox Vulpes vulpes shows:  

 
Technically families would be things like “canids”, “felids”, “vipers” or “pigeons” but we obviously are not aiming at this level of accuracy and sometimes the common tag on FurB is not for the family but for a subfamily (like canines instead of canids) or suborder (snakes) or order (owls) and it’s fine as it is not important for those common names to be always on the same level of biological classifications, but nevertheless none of those mentioned in the first post are orders/suborders/families/subfamilies, they are either classes (mammal, reptile, bird, amphibian) or phyllum (arthropod) or something called a paraphyletic group (fish - animals from the classes “jawless fish”, “cartilaginous fish” and “bony fish” are considered “fish”).
 
I think it’s important not to use the name “family” as we do have tags for different families, e.g.:  

 
This should be probably just named “group” or “class” (because most of those are in fact a biological classes).

@CruFox  
Alrighty, I don’t see anything wrong with going with ‘group’ as it feels natural enough to users in general.

sylkan
 
implies feline, alien, mammal

@Skydreams  
Maybe…there’s a discussion going on about supertags and what gets what applied to it. You should probably weigh in if you have opinions.

@Gyro  
I don’t really, I’m just trying to get a species tag for my cat people x.x

@Skydreams  
Right well it might only get alien if one group has their way ^^; Not Cat or Mammal

@Skydreams  
@Gyro
 
I added “alien” and “original species” for now, once the discussion about how to tag original/fictional species reaches a conclusion other tags might be added to implications too. Buy you can still manually add tags like “feline” and “mammal” to the pictures you upload if you think they apply as this discussion is only about implications.

cauthan - alien species from the hel jumper  
implies alien, if we’re adding other species to that it’d get feline as well, I guess

shaelik -> lilo and stitch, alien

moblin -> the legend of zelda

Rattata  
Implies:  
nintendo  
pokémon

@Wingbeat  

I don’t know :P Also I don’t remember if I did that or you ^{as now you can}, but it is set nevertheless.

@Radomila Radon
 
Done.

Tepig  
Implies:  
nintendo  
pokémon

@Radomila Radon  
Done

greninja -> Pokemon, amphibian

There are 2 more… species tags that are looming out there right now, all courtesy of twokinds.  
keidran -> A group of mammals, anthro wolves, foxes or various shapes and sizes of (big?) cats within twokinds universe  
basitin -> A group of mammals, similar to, but still distinct from keidran within twokinds universe
 
Both should imply “twokinds”

ender dragon → dragon, minecraft  
slime (minecraft) → minecraft  
ram → sheep
 
some species tags that need color and implications (ik ram isn’t a species but i feel like it shouldn’t just be aliased to sheep since rams do have a distinct appearance i guess)

@dream  
I disagree. Ram can be found with sheep, male

@Gyro  
True, I didn’t think about that. Yeah, it can probably be aliased then?

@Gyro
 
@dream
 
There are already tags like “mare, stallion, lioness, dragoness” so ram is fine to.

@CruFox  
Yeah that’s what I was thinking with my original post. I don’t know why I posted it here in hindsight though, it shouldn’t be a species tag

@dream  
There is also cow which is a species tag. It should probably not be, and instead just a green on that would imply cattle and female. Similarly for bull.
