Tag Implication: engrish -> ranguage

Implicating engrish -> ranguage.

Reason: It doesn't appear from the Wikis that Engrish is implicated to Ranguage. Shouldn't this be the case? And also for Flench, Gelman, Ratin etc.?

Looking under the implication list there is already 3 of these implications in place:
Engrish -> ranguage
gelman -> ranguage
ratin -> ranguage

Wikis don't show implications, only aliases. You have to look in the implication list, as NWF said.

Ahhh, so that's how it works. Thanks... Are there any plans to show both I and A in the Wikis?

I think we should nix all of those tags, replacing them with simply ranguage + (whatever language). engrish is an established term. The others are just silly: taking the name of the language in English (which isn't even what it's called in that language itself, or by the Japanese) and making up something by switching an "l" with an "r" or vice versa.

+1 for this

Sure, I'd support that. Sounds good.

Done. Wiki updated.

Would it be too much to add aliases of the now-retired ranguage tags to ranguage itself?

Should be okay. Too bad i can't alias e.g. gelman -> ranguage + german.

I would remove ranguage from post #143327. Even if by sheer luck, the word appears to be a decent transliteration of a proper name.

I don't really like the name of this tag because like some of the others we got rid of in this thread, it sounds silly and made up (Google searches do nothing to disprove that since it's mostly booru links that turn up). Also I don't think ranguage should be excluded from posts like this, and it should be used when any language is mangled by a non-native speaker (maybe the wiki could use rewording to not be Japan-centric).

One solution would to do the same as with other languages in this thread and use ranguage + japanese. japanese is too ubiquitous to use every time it appears, but I don't see why it can't be used for situations like this at least.

I have no idea why it says not to use ranguage with it, that doesn't make much sense. Rewrote the wiki to make it generic in any case.

However, it seems to me it's used as "Japanese written by people who aren't squint-eyed enough", and not "bad Japanese written by people who aren't familiar with it enough". For instance post #867271, the language doesn't seem particularly egregious.

I think the problem is that a very small amount of people could tell if its egregious or not.
