Implicating double_\m/ -> \m/.
Implicating double_\n/ -> \n/.

Reason: Similar to the double_v -> v implication.

+1 Don't see wynaut.

Before doing this, could we go back and rethink on the whole \n/ and \m/ usage? I still believe what we're currently using \m/ for should be migrated over to a different name like "ILY_sign" or something and then using \m/ as a catchall for all hand signs that have an extend pinky and extend index finger.

I've got no opinion on what to do there, but people do confuse the tags as the difference between them is not intuitive (having to look at the forum or wiki to understand it).

I'll go ahead with this - we can always repoint implications if we end upchanging tags later.

*sigh* I'll just resign myself that it will just be another thing that will never happen then. It's been almost 3 years since proposing a catchall for extended pinky and thumb gestures, and over 1 year since I explicitly talked about changing the current \m/ to an ILY tag.

How about we alias \m/ and \n/ to ily_sign and horns_sign respectively?

I think those are a bit more descriptive than the current names; I wouldn't have even realized there was a difference between them without the wikis.

It also seems to be what Wikipedia calls them (more-or-less), FWIW: ILY Sign and Sign of the horns

remove implication double_\m/ -> \m/
remove implication double_\n/ -> \n/
create alias \m/ -> ily_sign
create alias \n/ -> horns_sign
create alias double_\m/ -> double_ily_sign
create alias double_\n/ -> double_horns_sign
create implication double_ily_sign -> ily_sign
create implication double_horns_sign -> horns_sign

An issue with that is there is at least 3 hand signs involving extend pinkies and thumbs, if not more. The other officially tagged variant is fox_shadow_puppet (topic #8543). Just aliasing over doesn't clear up the issue that \m/ should be a more catchall type of tag.
