1st time making a BUR - is there any better help than this:

unalias aaa -> bbb
unimply aaa -> bbb
alias aaa -> bbb
imply aaa -> bbb
update aaa -> bbb
category tag_name -> category_name

Found nothing in the wiki and the help is not searchable :-(

EDIT: The bulk update request #2280 (forum #331743) has been approved by @bitWolfy.

Isn't a freefall just the act of diving out from a plane or other high location without a parachute? Should have a webcomic suffix.

Quite simply:

unalias cat -> domestic_cat -- remove an existing alias
unimply domestic_cat -> feline -- remove an existing implication
alias cat -> domestic_cat -- add a new alias. Cannot be done in the same BUR that's unimplying the former tag, or unaliasing either.
imply domestic_cat -> feline -- add a new implicaiton. Cannot be done in the same BUR that's unaliasing either.
update cat -> domestic_cat -- Forcibly change a tag [u]once only[/u], leaving the former open for future use.
category cat -> species -- Set a tag's category.

so

update freefall -> freefall_(webcomic)

would just change the tag name? Because update is the only not self-explanatory BUR task. And rename would be a much better name for the task that literally does just that (@admins).

I wouldn't mind that change but for the last 10 years freefall has already been the copyright tag for that Freefall webcomic.
So why the thumbs down? You yourself even edited the Wiki page back in 2016 ;-)

Yeah, that would work.

I don't remember doing that--either that's something from before UserID updates that got wrongly updated to me, or it's purely that I hated seeing a giant description sitting out in the open and only stuck it into a section without caring to edit anything about it due to knowing nothing about it.

It's a thumbs down because a free fall is a term, not a webcomic.

Thx - but it looks like I can't edit the actual BUR at all. :-/

Okay, odd.

But that is a completely separate issue which has no bearing over weather that webcomic's characters tags should imply/implicate(?) the parent-tag or not, is it not?
Maybe request that in a separate request?

Try from the actual BUR page?

They can implicate freefall_(webcomic) but not freefall. Current request is for a misleading tag.
