Oar vs Paddle vs ???

I just replaced the paddle tag by the oar tag in a couple of instances, which seemed clearly unfit for that tag, judging by the definition as given in the wiki.
However, there are certain posts of which I am unsure how to handle them. For instance post #705572 is clearly not an oar, but it doesn't seem like it'd be used for spanking either. In other posts, like post #443150, paddle refers to a specific paddle (the ping pog paddle) which cant be called a spanking implement per se. post #348005 doesn't seem to be a paddle, but rather a spoon, while post #281875 is more of a spatula (I've added spatula, but didn't remove paddle yet, since it clearly involves spanking).

Seeing as most images, that have the paddle tag don't actually involve spanking, we should probably either alter the wiki, or add an additional tag for paddles that aren't used as spanking implement.

A paddle is a paddle. I don't understand why it needs to get all Freudian and limit paddles to only spanking.

In the examples you've provided, post #705572 is a paddle (more specifically, a hagoita). post #443150 is also a paddle, and you can search for ping pong paddles with a paddle table_tennis search string. (Whether or not we want a more specific tag for ping pong paddles is a different matter.) post #348005 and post #281875, however, aren't paddles at all; the former is a rice spoon and the latter is a spatula. If you wanted to find spatulas being used for spanking, there's the spatula spanked string.

I don't know? I didn't write the wiki article. I only noticed that there was a discrepancy between how the tag is described, and how it is used.
It'd probably be reasonable to alter that article to a more general definition.

As for the hagoita, should all posts involving one of them be tagged both hagoita and paddle? I only ask because I noticed that most of them aren't.

I never said you did. Regardless, I've changed the wiki into something more neutral.

Dunno. I've created forum #47633 to decide whether or not we should implicate hagoita to paddle.

Yes, paddles for paddles, oar for oars, and per the other thread I implicated paddle from hagoita.
