Topic: [REJECTED] alias dragon_wings -> membranous_wings

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #12207 has been rejected.

create alias dragon_wings (1341) -> membranous_wings (134215)

Reason: We're moving away from naming body parts after specific animals. Though dragon wings can technically be anything since they're a fictional species, the usage currently appears to be synonymous with membranous wings.

EDIT: The bulk update request #12207 (forum #466895) has been rejected by @spe.

just a reminder that dragons have no set/natural wing design, they come in a variety of designs from literal feathered bird wings to insectoid or cosmic/etheral/disembodied, mechanical, airplane wings and so on. there are dozens of dragons from franchises/cartoons/comics/anime/mythology that have wings that are not membranous.

Spe acerting a canon or standard that does not exist is rather puzzling, all wings on dragons regardles of form/design are "dragon wings".

I mean, just look at the tag. They are overwhelmingly membranous since that is the type seen in most traditional depictions. That's what people are going to assume this means 99.9% of the time. I don't see anything puzzling about that.
But also... yeah, other thread for this discussion.
