[REJECTED] Tag alias: ufo -> flying_saucer

create alias ufo -> flying_saucer

Link to alias

Most if not all images of ufos will be the flying saucer version. Ufo, while being a known term is pretty vague for a tag name anyway.

I agree with the alias, although the tag will need some cleaning up first in cases where say, just a tractor beam are shown but no spacecraft.

Flying saucer implies space craft, but there are a lot of cases like post #3155531 where it's just a UFO symbol instead of a true spacecraft. I think that implication should be removed first.

As per above post, this one should be run first before the above alias.

-1 From what I know, UFOs are not all saucer shaped. That is just their most popular depiction.

How should we tag just the symbol?

Are there examples of this, on Danbooru? I understand that UFO in popular culture/its technical definition include any sort of flying craft not identified. I find that definition a bit trouble on a site like this however, since if something is illustrated it's clearly been identified in that way. I suppose potentially there could be something draw in a way which make it ambiguous however I've not seen that yet.

I don't agree, rather the tag should just be cleaned up. There may be a larger incidence of mistagging but that wouldn't be effected in any way by the alias staying in place, no?

I don't think UFO is a tag we should use. In following the rule of tag-what-you-see, tagging something as an unidentified flying object is pretty unhelpful. We know what a flying saucer is and what it looks like, at least in the context of anime-style drawn images, so they're not really unidentified.

I completely agree.
