Reason: Aliasing most family-specific scientific names I found to their common names. Also two subfamily-specific names while I'm at it
Notes:
- Nimravids didn't have any implications so I chose to add them here as well
- Talpidae is sometimes split to be moles and desmans but we include the latter under moles here anyways, so doesn't matter
- Pyrocyonidae and Mustalidae aren't actual scientific names, but typos which happened several times so I think it's fine to alias them away as well
- Not attaching drum_(fish) to any other species tags because I am waiting for the fish BUR to be approved before doing anything with fish tags
This does NOT include scientific names for most invertebrates and extinct creatures that are still in use on the site, because I think I'd rather handle those separately later. Some of those deserve more work than just simple aliases
This also does not include corcoracidae because it has other tags attached and I didn't really want to research that family right now, yeah I'm lazy
ALSO also it does not include sirenidae because I am not sure what common name to give that tag anyways. siren_(amphibian)?
