Why does holding_own_hair imply holding?

Posted under Tags

I would imagine there's a few stand out cases where an object doesn't have a holding tag so it just uses holding alone (i.e. holding_own_hair + holding + tag for object they're holding but no holding_x tag associated with that object). A blanket removal would nick these cases. That being said, in a sea of 17.6K posts, I don't know how you're supposed to be able to reasonably search for those cases. Do we think it's worth stopping the entire removal just for likely a few cases out of some ten thousand posts though? Most likely they can be found through a regular browse/garden and have an appropriate tag added if missing.

BUR #55975 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

mass update holding_own_hair -holding_severed_hair -> -holding

Most holding tags already imply holding, so this should be fine?

I'm gonna approve this, holding has 2M posts and this BUR is like pissing in the ocean anyway. If a holding tag does not imply holding it should be implied, or we could maybe just do automatic implications - though that'd require renaming all our holding_ body part tags... That's just an entirely different mess.
