move star to star_(symbol)

BUR #2660 has been approved by @evazion.

remove implication star_hair_ornament -> star
remove implication star-shaped_pupils -> star
remove implication star_earrings -> star
remove implication starry_background -> star
remove implication star_print -> star
remove implication star_choker -> star
remove implication star_necklace -> star
remove implication star_in_eye -> star
create implication star_hair_ornament -> star_(symbol)
create implication star-shaped_pupils -> star_(symbol)
create implication star_earrings -> star_(symbol)
create implication star_print -> star_(symbol)
create implication star_choker -> star_(symbol)
create implication star_necklace -> star_(symbol)
create implication star_in_eye -> star_(symbol)

We have 95k posts under star and 20k posts under star (sky). It doesn't make much sense to have the first with such an ambiguous name, as it invites a lot of mistags.
There's several under star night_sky -star_(sky) -star-shaped_pupils -star_hair_ornament, though they're pretty hard to find.

Some random examples I've found: post #3717080, post #3908921, post #3577390, post #3546197.

star is better left as an ambiguous tag from which mistags can be sorted appropriately.

Also, starry background is pretty ambiguous. I've left its reimplication outside of this request, because there's many posts under starry_background starry_sky and most of them seem to be mistag. Can someone think of a better name for it? Otherwise I'm not sure it's a good idea to imply it to the symbol variant.

create implication spoken_star -> star_(symbol)

Also throwing this in as a separate implication from topic #16902

EDIT: The bulk update request #2662 (forum #166568) has been approved by @evazion.

I would argue that it should be star_(shape) since stars don't have any particular meaning associated with them in the way power symbols and radiation symbols do. This would also be consistent with diamond_(shape) and spade_(shape).

+1 to disambiguating the tag in any case.

Well, we also have diamond (symbol). Also, drawn five-pointed stars are often symbolic of the actual sky stars, like in post #3881041 or post #3895610. The five-pointed star's shape historically is also a direct derivation of the shape a star's light takes in the sky, so there's heavy symbolism associated to it. There's a lot of examples of this under star night_sky. Overall I'm not sure which term is better.

We use *_(symbol) more often than *_(shape) so it's better to stick with that.

remove implication star_hat_ornament -> star
create implication star_hat_ornament -> star_(symbol)

Missed one

BUR #2755 has been rejected.

mass update star_hair_ornament star -> star_hair_ornament -star
mass update star-shaped_pupils star -> star-shaped_pupils -star
mass update star_earrings star -> star_earrings -star
mass update star_print star -> star_print -star
mass update star_choker star -> star_choker -star
mass update star_necklace star -> star_necklace -star
mass update star_in_eye star -> star_in_eye -star
mass update star_hat_ornament star -> star_hat_ornament -star

Also bringing the status quo to the new tag. For the ones with starry_background, they'll have to be sorted manually I think. I'll try to do it in the next few weeks.

EDIT: The bulk update request #2755 (forum #167279) has been rejected by @nonamethanks.

I'm letting the implications finish first before doing the final mass update to rename star -> star_(symbol).

Finish moving star.

stars is still aliased to the now empty star tag. Do we want to keep that dead alias so that searching for stars shows the star disambiguation wiki or should we get rid of it and have another disambiguation wiki for stars?

Double-post for something else:

Anyone up for cleaning moon and moving it to moon_(sky) to get rid of all the incorrectly tagged crescents?

We probably need some cleanup for all of these too. The crescent wiki says it's for anything other than crescent moon, but crescent moon has 950 posts...

As for the stars alias it's probably better to keep it. Less ambiguous tags to sort through.

There are plenty of genuine ones in there - lots of sailor moon stuff, mutsuki-class destroyers etc.

While we're on the subject, I've also been considering cleaning lightning_bolt and moving it to lightning_bolt_(symbol) since some users will always insist on using it for actual lightning.
