Topic: Tag alias: thorax -> arthropod_abdomen

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag alias #80572 thorax -> arthropod_abdomen is pending approval.

Reason: I searched the thorax tag and it seems to be being used to highlight the bulbous abdomen of the arthropod, a common misconception. arthropod_abdomen

A thorax is actually the part of the spider that the legs attach to. thorax_(body_part) should refer to this. (and maybe be renamed and aliased to arthropod_thorax?)

I believe it would be best to move all uses of thorax to arthropod_abdomen and then have thorax alias to arthropod_abdomen, and have thorax_(body_part) alias to arthropod_thorax.

The goal is when a tagger or searcher types ‘thorax’, they are shown that they are shown thorax is not a root tag and they should disambiguate.
