Topic: [APPROVED] Standardizing religion tags

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #10293 is active.

remove implication hindu (3) -> religion (1849)
remove implication islamic (3) -> religion (1849)
remove alias islam (35) -> islamic (3)
remove alias muslim (0) -> islamic (3)
remove implication jewish (4) -> religion (1849)
remove alias jew (0) -> jewish (4)

Reason: Seems more in line with our tagging style to use the noun rather than the adjective? Christianity already uses the noun.

alias hindu -> hinduism
imply hinduism -> religion
alias islamic -> islam
alias muslim -> islam
imply islam -> religion
alias jewish -> judaism
alias jew -> judaism
imply judaism -> religion

The bulk update request #10295 is active.

create alias catholic (7) -> catholicism (51)
create implication catholicism (51) -> christianity (843)
create implication mormonism (6) -> christianity (843)
create implication jehovah's_witnesses (6) -> christianity (843)

Reason: Denominations of christianity -> christianity. Chunking these into separate BURs for separate voting in case any are controversial.

Optional depending on how the previous BUR is received:

category catholicism -> copyright
category mormonism -> copyright

Why are you implying jehovah's witness to copyright

The bulk update request #10296 is active.

create implication taoism (2) -> religion (1849)
create alias buddhist (2) -> buddhism (34)
create implication buddhism (34) -> religion (1849)
create implication jainism (1) -> religion (1849)
create alias pagan (12) -> paganism (22)
create implication paganism (22) -> religion (1849)
create alias wiccan (9) -> wicca (0)
create implication wicca (0) -> paganism (22)
remove alias rastafarianism (0) -> rastafarian (3)
create implication rastafari (30) -> religion (1849)

Reason: Finally, just implying a bunch more religions to religion
Wikipedia describes Wicca as a "modern pagan" religion, so I guess it should imply paganism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicca

alias rastafarianism -> rastafari
alias rastafarian -> rastafari

Wait should we be treating the tag jewish as a religion, or is it closer to tags like british, german, french, and italian

It’s technically both, but the culture can also be referred to as Hebrew. So we could use that word for the culture and reserve Jewish (or rather, alias it to judaism) for the religion.
