This is an attempt to standardized the state of fire related tags, I'll be making a followup BUR in this thread to for aliasing to flaming_* instead and let it be voted upon which, if any, should be done.

I have not looked into if these are worthwhile tags as the point of this BUR is for standardizing, so if any of these are trully worthless/not relevant to standardization, that can be mentioned so i can remove them from the BURs.

"Flaming" implies flames (yeah I know, water is wet), but in post #2250463, post #1820254 etc. the fire is just embers. As such, I'm much more inclined to go with fiery_x over flaming_x. "Fiery" refers to any kind of fire, meaning flames and embers alike are both included under its umbrella.

I know it's only a small detail, but cases like these where the options are almost identical should be decided on said details. Slightly more accurate is still more accurate, after all.

I dealt with flame_decal manually. It was just a three-post duplicate of flame_print, which in turn shouldn't be aliased. "Flame print" is a common English phrase for fire patterns; a Google search for "fiery print" returns less than 10% of the results.

flame_flyer is a Mario Kart kart. https://www.mariowiki.com/Flame_Flyer

I dealt with flame_saber manually. It's a weapon from Kamen Rider Agito. However, "flame saber" is ambiguous; a number of other fictional weapons bear the same moniker, so I qualified it to flame_saber_(kamen_rider). https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Flame_Saber

flame_style is one of Kamen Rider Wizard's forms. https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Haruto_Soma#Flame

I dealt with flame_wheel manually. One post was a ring of fire, the other was an unqualified Pokémon move.

tl;dr, the following tags should be removed from both BURs:
flame_decal
flame_print
flame_flyer
flame_saber
flame_style
flame_wheel

Additionally, flame_tattoo -> fiery_tattoos should be flame_tattoo -> fiery_tattoo instead.

Updated

I can't say I support much of these suggestions. "Fiery" and "flaming" both describe things that are on fire. A tattoo of a fire is not a "fiery" or "flaming" tattoo. It is a flame tattoo. Some of these things could probably be renamed, or get some utility aliases to make them more visible, but anything that doesn't involve actual burning fire, or something that resembles it, should not be changed to sound like that's what they are. You simply can't standardize every single one of these tags, imo.
