Or is there a valid reason why these two tags imply already walking or standing but not water? So there must've been an update about those tags...

standing on water may not be the best way to describe someone who's standing on something like a pond or pool, since the liquid they're standing on may not actually be water. It's still the first tag that comes to mind though but I am against the implication.

You mean posts like post #1980058?

I don't think that's a very good example as the pool may be colored red from the moon and sky.

So do you find an example since I don't find anything that wouldn't fit water^^. So in doubt it is water and since it's the most associated liquid, this implication would make sense.

There's things like post #2083458 which aren't currently on the tags but probably should be.

Additionally there's posts that use ripples to show that liquid is being walked on but feature nothing that would visibly be tagged as water like post #620469 or post #1598263.

So, if it doesn't have to be water wouldn't it be better to rename those two tags to something like standing_on_liquid and walking_on_liquid?

Broader tags might come in handy in the unlikely event we ever see an image of someone standing on something strange, like mercury or molten rock or lcl.

This is the same reason tags like ocean and river don't imply water, as I recall.

That would be a good since we already got liquid_hair.
And then we can alias those two tags up there to walking on liquid or standing.
We made the same to liquid hair.

This an example you were looking for? post #1137917

The bulk update request #572 has been rejected.

create alias walking_on_water -> walking_on_liquid
create alias standing_on_water -> standing_on_liquid

Since no one opposed to my earlier proposal, I think we have cencensus here?

The bulk update request #577 has been approved.
