Topic: unalias ghost_penis -> translucent_penis

The bulk update request #12512 is pending approval.

remove alias ghost_penis (0) -> translucent_penis (3595)

Reason: A translucent penis is not necessarily a ghost penis / phantom penis, even if it appears disembodied. At the time of this BUR, however, translucent penises without ghost-like properties are lumped in with ones that have said properties thanks to the alias I'm looking to remove (topic #2930). To make sure that the latter type can have its own tag, I also wrote a new wiki page for ghost_penis, similar to the one for ghost_hand.

What's the difference?

Some examples I selected to illustrate the distinction I'm describing:

✔️ Likely a ghost penis

Note how ghost penises appear like ghost hands in these images. They may even have ghost cum.

❌ Likely not a ghost penis

Penis is rendered disembodied and/or translucent, but does not appear to be phantom:

Penis appears to be an actual non-phantom translucent penis which belongs to a character who is not a ghost:

An image can have one or more penises that appear translucent and/or disembodied, but if none exhibit ghost-like properties (including when they are implied to be part of a character), then the image should not have the ghost_penis tag, as per TWYS.

I wouldn't agree with some of those. I don't see why this would be a ghost penis

while this wouldn't be
post #4338736

And
post #5046634
appears to just be a translucent penis and hands, no indication they're ghosts or stylistic or something else.

And
post #5299262
appears to just be disembodied penises, neither ghostly or translucent.

I also don't see why
post #3845649
wouldn't count as a ghost/phantom penis since it seems to be a supernaturally extended penis and tail.

This would be a reason to not separate them, since it's deceptively subjective or vague when one is or isn't. It would be better to find/use tags for the specific visible attributes, rather than inferring what the attributes may mean.
