Tag Alias: multiple_wings -> extra_wings

Posted under General

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)

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.
