nuke water_surface

Tag padding. Can apply to basically every water post.

Especially given it seems to be being used equally for the water surface from above, the water surface from below and sometimes caustics with no water surface even being visible...

If i remember correctly the tag was supposed to be used for artworks where the surface is only water (eg. post #3393647)
The wiki being badly written doesn't help.
As it is right now, the tag is useless on it's former purpose (again, if i remember correctly), but i believe it could be salvaged.
Otherwise, there would be no tag to search for such artworks.

Well, that's a terrible name for the tag then. We might as well create another tag and just get rid of this one.

+1, i'd like to garden the new tag before this one is nuked, but i can't think of a good name. water world, water floor, and water horizon came to mind, but they do not sound any better than the current one.

Water_expanse?

Though it would be a counterintuitive name for ESL users.

I don't understand what you're saying it should be used for. The surface of what?

Artworks like post #3620951 or post #3669918. People or objects standing over a water surface stretching to the horizon.
It's a fairly common scenery concept i feel, it also appears in the train scene of Spirited Away (post #1155183, for example).

water world sounds like a more apt and intuitive name.

I think it wouldn't fit because it could also be used for underwater sceneries ala Subnautica, which would bring us back to square one.

Would water plane get confused with seaplane?

I created water world, with a note in the wiki about not using it with underwater, and went through all water surface posts to populate it.

There's more posts under water wide_shot -water_world, if someone wants to go through them to help populate it.

Done.

Bringing this back. Is there any way to differentiate salt flats from water world, other than ripples?

BUR #8426 has been rejected.

create implication salar_de_uyuni -> salt_flats

In the meanwhile, gonna do the obvious

Creating implication on real world places is begging for problems down the line. Like if there is a sign with that name on it and so on.
