Whale Species Implication Request

Posted under Tags

BUR #43116 has been rejected.

create implication blue_whale -> whale
create implication humpback_whale -> whale
create implication sperm_whale -> whale
create implication chibi_whale -> whale

This is self-explanatory. All of the above tags are different types of whales as the word whale is understood popularly, and, therefore, these implications should be considered.
This is my first bulk update request, so I apologise if my formatting is incorrect.

The fictional_whale implication would be bad, because it would catch things that people searching whale would definitely not expect to see in their results, such as whale pokemon, weird space whales, etc

In hindsight, I agree. Would I need to make a new BUR to request this change, or is there a way to change my request?

you can edit your BUR, I believe

For clarity, one can edit their BUR whenever they want, but one shouldn't after people have voted on it, since this makes it unclear what version of a BUR any user voted for. As no one had voted on it when this exchange happened, edits were fine, but if someone had, it'd be better to submit a new corrected BUR in the same thread.
