Topic: Disclaimer: Contains an artist BUR

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #7924 is pending approval.

mass update disclaimer -> disclaimer_(artist)
create alias disclaimer (87) -> disclaimer_(disambiguation) (0)
change category disclaimer_(disambiguation) (0) -> invalid

Reason: Disclaimer has been used to mean that the post contains a content warning, instead of just referring to the artist behind the tag. Looking at both disclaimer -source:*iscla* and it's tag history you can see it's been mistagged quite a bit.

There's also an unintended side effect of tags such as sound warning being in the artist category affecting how this tag is perceived, so it being in the artist category doesn't immediately feel off

Potential entries for the disambig page could be

There's also comic disclaimer with 7 posts and content disclaimer with 0. Should there be a way to tags things like post #4338392

A metadata (white) tag? Hmm, so there's an artist with this name. Why do people make names like this? BRB, going to make my artist tag am. :facepalm:

Well that's a tag that needs to be aliased.

I beg your pardon? I don't believe my post references or links to any artists using a meta tag as their artist tag

I was thinking that a tag like "content warning" or the like is. I was mistaken. It's like confusing censor bar as one, when actually, it's censored that is. Sorry for the confusion.

And yeah, I was at first intending AM tag to be a joke as randomly Google-resistant artist name, and then oh look, ironically appropriate example but it's a character, instead.

*edit* Fixed both character names, too.

Replaced it with already existing (and correct+more-used) tags that had the full names.
