The tag implication #64675 dog_plushie -> plushie is pending approval.

Reason: Same thing with just the word "dog" in front of it.

I think this is reasonable, we can't just search dog plushie because plushies don't get a species tag.

We'll need to make sure it doesn't get out of hand by mirroring every single species with a *_plushie, but I think dog is fine.

Species-plushie tags are already the standard, at least according to the plushie wiki page.

Also this implication is just correct, since an image shouldn't be tagged dog_plushie if there's no plushie visible.

How many <species>_plushie tags should we expect? We don't tag dog_anthro or cat_feral, so it seems weird to give more specificity to plushies over living characters that people may be more interested in (before someone brings up humanoids, I remember there having been some complaints over the number of <animal>_humanoid tags too).

A nice middle ground might be to do larger taxonomy groups only e.g. canid/canine_plushie with some allowance for special cases (pony_plushie so non-mlp equine plushies are searchable). The difference between a husky, wolf, and coyote plushie are typically pretty... negligible outside of realistic plushes.

The bulk update request #9569 is pending approval.

create alias dog_plushie (52) -> canine_plushie (67) # has blocking transitive relationships, cannot be applied through bur
create implication canine_plushie (67) -> plushie (20355)

Reason: Alternatively...?
