Worker tag

BUR #49424 is pending approval.

create implication mechanic -> worker
create implication engineer -> worker
create implication construction_worker -> worker
create implication blacksmith -> worker
create implication miner -> worker
create implication plumber -> worker

Tag worker is intended to denote all professions primarily associated with physical labor: manufacturing, construction, repairing, smithing or mining - to put it bluntly, "dirty work".
I find this decision logical given that such professions often share a common aesthetic and common elements, such as the presence of tools or similarities in clothing/uniform. Sometimes the differences between a mechanic or an engineer aren't all that great, however, these are two different tags and don't share a common tag.

This tag could also be a solution when it's impossible to accurately determine a character's profession in an artwork without delving into lore, despite possessing several attributes of a worker profession, for example: post #9147467, post #9561132, post #9862167, post #3698950, post #8822606.
Instead of not adding anything at all, this tag could be used, and knowledgeable people could then edit the tags with a precise profession tag.

In the wiki by tag worker could be used to create a list of all tags for qualifying professions currently used on Danbooru, systematizing them, thereby possibly making them more popular for tagging in posts, and most importantly, simplifying the search for artwork related to hard working professions.

Feels like a not great tag to begin with, but if this were to go through i doubt it will it would perhaps be better to be more specific with something like blue-collar worker.

that wouldn't work either since a carpenter and a truck driver are blue-collar workers too and OP wants something like metal worker. basically they want a tag for wearing goggles and having a toolbox. also engineers aren't blue collar

(btw how do we distinguish blue-collar workers from blue-choker workers lol)

This is a prime example of a catch all tag that would get deprecated like a year down the line when they realize no one searches generic "worker". They look for a specific profession.

If this is really something that's like, needed, fwiw--create a meta tag for it. profession request or something, idk.
