flaming_hair and fire_hair

flaming_hair and fire_hair: They seem to be mostly the same concept, although I suppose you could put normal hair that is on fire under flaming_hair and hair actually made of fire under fire_hair. Shall we alias these or what?

In my opinion, flaming_hair should be the same as something like hair_on_fire or something, while fire_hair should be hair made of fire

bumping. it seems the terms are not differentiated till now and i'm inclined towards an alias as the names share the same meaning. if we are going for two different concepts, i would suggest a clearer, more intuitive, and entirely different name and a nice wiki to match. separating these two is prone to mistagging, imho. thanks.

A brief glance at the tags suggests there's a lot of overlap. post #988944 is an example. She has normal hair at the scalp, but towards the end it turns into fire. I think the two concepts need to be defined properly before a name is decided. How about:

• Normal hair that's caught fire.
• It should be clear that the fire will eventually consume the hair, burn it all off and go out if it were left to itself.
• To be tagged regardless of the character's reaction.
• Do wigs on fire count whilst the wig is on the head?
• Does body hair and beards count too, or just hair on the head?
• Magical fire atop the head.
• Includes hair on fire that is permanently part of the character's design.
• Includes magic fire on bald heads, hair that's burning with magical fire (examples of both in post #32505) and "hair made of fire" (post #625334).
• If the hair is translucent enough, the presence of smoldering can help differentiate the two.

For the names, I'd alias flaming hair -> fire hair together then use the second definition and hair on fire for the second, possibly aliasing or implicating to -> head on fire.

Whatever the case, make sure everything is implicated to -> fire

Wigs would still get tagged with other regular hair tags, so they should count.

Beards should also count, but anything else should just be burning.

Should note the fire_hair tag was aliased to the fiery_hair tag. forum #66141 for the alias.

forum #66111 for the rejection of having it implicate fire.

Per its Wiki, burning is restricted to items actually being consumed by fire, not just made of it.

That line was in response to the "normal hair that's caught fire" segment.

Totally misread that. Sorry.
