Although the visor has been deprecated and subdivided in topic #22086, visor_lift still exists and is very messy.
Basically, it consists of the on-head version and action of lifting-up version of all those types that orignally belongs to visor.
Should we deprecate visor_lift like visor and create separate, more detailed tags for all those types?

Probably, yeah. At a minimum we need to distinguish goggle-like visors and visors with a moving eye protector.

create alias faceplate -> visor_(armor)
Also, although this is a bit off-topic, when I was checking posts related to armor I found that these two tags seem to have same definitions? Might need to be merged.
I cleaned up the visor (armor) a bit as some preparation, going to deal with this one.
On second thought, though the lifting head-mounted_display action itself might worth tagging, I wondered if a tag like head-mounted display on head be really useful? Since most characters with head-mounted displays are by default putting them on their foreheads and expose their faces. it might be more practical to create a tag like head-mounted_display_down to distinguish the few cases where the head-mounted display is actually worn and covers the eyes.
I don't think it's really obvious the default case for head-mounted display is for them to be on the head any more or less than that's the case for sunglasses or masks, and there's eyewear on head and mask on head.
Speaking of this, should a head-mounted display be considered an eyewear and tagged as eyewear on head then? Doesn't seem very intuitive at least to me... maybe better to set up a new tag for hmd.

mass update favgroup:55867 -> -visor_lift head-mounted_display_lift
create implication head-mounted_display_lift -> head-mounted_display
Let's start with the simplest one. The act of lifting the HMD should be uncontroversial in itself. For a character whose face was originally covered by HMD, this is an act of revelation, it's not hard to imagine there might be related fetishes.
I'm still not sure whether we should create tag HMD on head or HMD over eyes. Most of the current 6,000+ HMD posts fall into one of the two categories, so re-tagging will be a huge undertaking. However, there are indeed a small minority of other types, such as holding unworn HMD or HMD around neck.
I also have some questions on how HMD should be defined and what types it should include, I might leave those to a separate post later.

deprecate faceplate
Deprecating it instead, it's too misused for things that aren't liftable helmet visors.
