Tag Alias: multiple_wings -> extra_wings

Aliasing multiple_wings -> extra_wings.

Reason:
Like extra_ears, extra_arms, etc.
Multiple wings (two of them) is normal and doesn't fit the semantic the tag should express.

I'd rather stick with multiple_wings than call them extra_wings, it gives a kind of "they're unnecessary" sound to it (which really is counter to the point of displaying multiple wings, particular 3 pairs of wings is a sign of power). Additionally multiple_wings matches the multiple_tails tag, and like wings I'd rather not use the extra_tails tag.

If you consider headwings with wings, it really isn't that uncommon to have more than one set. Additionally certain types of wings, such as fairy wings and types of insect wings are frequently multi-winged (though I understand that isn't the intent of the tag to cover those).

Here are the current multiple/extra body parts tags (excluding those in forum #50083)

• multiple_eyes (10 posts)
• multiple_hands (11 posts, currently mixed between characters with extra hands, arms, or multiple disembodied hands)
• multiple_heads (3 posts)
• multiple_legs (13 posts)
• multiple_nipples (2 posts, deleted for being furry, but the concept isn't the same extra_breasts)
• multiple_tails (3633 posts)
• multiple_wings (60 posts)

• extra_ears (182 posts)
• extra_legs (1 post)
• extra_breasts (19 posts)
• extra_arms (117)

Leaving it multiple for now.

Can we get a extra_wings -> multiple_wings alias then?

A seraphim -> multiple_wings implication would be good as well; I couldn't find any images there that aren't multiple_wings.

Hm, only if the wiki is wrong: "six wings (or very large colorful wings)"

It makes it sound like there's a possibility they won't have multiple.

Ah, ok. ^^

Can someone who can mass edit (or whatever it's called here) add the multiple_wings tag to all the seraphim images? Wiki aside, they are all currently multiple_wings images.

The way seraphim are defined (by the Book of Isaiah) requires them to have six wings. This is, by the way, the only passage in the bible defining seraphim to be a kind of angel-like creatures; all the other mentions are snake- or dragonlike beings, but they're not the ones that got entrenched in the popular culture.

So, basically, it has to have six wings to be tagged as seraph (which is the proper singular form and should be made canonical). The wiki should say so.

There's still no seraphim → seraph alias in place.
