The tag implication #51468 esperanto_text -> text has been approved.

Reason: Noticed it wasn't implied, thought it should be.

EDIT: The tag implication esperanto_text -> text (forum #372860) has been approved by @slyroon.

The bulk update request #5336 is active.

create implication aurebesh_text (60) -> character_cipher (453)
create implication furbish_text (4) -> fictional_language (399)
create implication furbish_text (4) -> text (1137526)
change category aurebesh_text (60) -> meta
change category furbish_text (4) -> meta
change category fictional_language (399) -> meta
change category constructed_language (477) -> meta
create implication hilichurlian_text (1) -> fictional_language (399)
create implication yautja_text (12) -> fictional_language (399)

Reason: The tags' name imply that it is just for the text, and they are fictional languages

Reasoning for why fictional_language is not going to implicate text: A video can have, for example, someone speaking in esperanto, which would be tagged fictional language, but not have esperanto text.
Unless we redefine the fictional_language to mean only text, and something like fictional_language_audio to mean audio only (though there should be an umbrella tag for both, which leads us back to fictional_language)

hilichurlian is a constructed language originating from genshin impact

yautja language is a constructed language originating from predator (franchise)

aurebesh is a character cipher from Star Wars

should we have a catchall tag for posts using auxlangs specifically? or do we think just having constructed_language -fictional_language is enough?

also these should all be moved into the meta caregory.

Aight, added.

There's the case when a post has both auxlangs and fictional languages together so constructed_language -fictional_language won't cover everything, but I guess it's good enough for the time being

I made a BUR like this, but I tried to distinguish between constructed_languages and character_ciphers*, and it all got really confusing really fast, and I had to edit it like 6+ times. The explanation I wrote for the BUR was admittedly poorly written. Understandably, no one voted on it, since it was such a headache to understand and verify. I could re-write the reason more clearly if it helps. If we do want to keep the distinction, aurebesh_text should be a character_cipher, but the rest of SNPtheCat's BUR is still correct.

*I consider a constructed language to be something that has its own unique vocabulary (and usually grammar) created for it from scratch. If some fictional writing is just another (natural/"real life") language written in a unique way, it's a character cipher. Why this definition gets confusing is often works of fiction PRETEND they created a full-fledged fictional language, but they really just made a character cipher because it's easier and the vast majority of people won't notice.

Ugh, I should've checked. Seems that the *_text cleanup burs have already been done twice. Thanks for the info.

way ahead of yall,
topic #33769
implies most if not all of the languages that don't imply text and other things, along with some other minor shenanigans
