Deprecate panther

mass update panther -> black_panther
deprecate panther

I just added the "jaguar" part in panther thinking they were talking about the black panther but i noticed later that black panther exist, but now they are the same thing.

Just as feline is not a tag then panther should be deprecated, which a panther is just a genus under felines (Felidae > Pantherinae > Panthera), from which lions, jaguars , leopards , tigers, and snow leopards are species.

Idk if panther should alias black_panther for practical reasons.

rename panther -> black_panther

if you do that the posts won't be removed.

Actually, how do we tag things like post #8972407 or post #8760952? Do we have a tag for unnaturally colored animals? "pink panther" could probably get its own tag due to its reference to The Pink Panther, but we should probably have a tag for normal animals with an abnormal color.

Currently for unnaturally colored animals they are just in "color name_animal." Green cat, blue dog, pink snake, to name a few.

Tan or brown "mountain lions" or "cougers" are also commonly called "panthers". Not all "panthers" are black (even leaving the unnaturally colored ones out of it).

That's colloquial, taxonomically speaking: Felidae > Felinae > Puma > Puma concolor (cougar).
So they are not panthers.

Yes, as I said, the species are lions, jaguars, leopards, tigers, and snow leopards, and we don't tag them as panthers.
The current panther wiki is flawed and is identical to the black panther wiki, so i assumed they tag panther thinking in the black panther.
We could rewrite panther so we could tag fictional panthers like the pink panther, but excluding the real species.

You are saying that the brown mountain lion is a "jaguar" then? I assure you no one calls them that in North America (that I've ever heard anyway), "panther" is common though.

create alias panther_(cougar) -> cougar

I'll do an utility alias so it shows up if someone searches for them this way, but panther is too ambiguous at the moment. Even if you google "panther" you get wikipedia's page first, which is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_panther.

nuke panther

I've created pink panther (animal). We'll need to make a colored animal tag to group them all eventually.
