Why do we always gotta add the "(disambiguation)" part on tags?

Not sure if it's the sole reason, but you can just search *_(disambiguation) and see everything that needs doing.

The way we're doing it does seem a little primitive to me though, it'd be nice if disambiguation tags had their own tag type.

I also wish they'd be beneficial to searching too, like the contents of the wiki showing on the posts page when a disambiguation tag is searched. For example right now, you can search pool and never find the swimming_pool or billiards tags.

We need to add Avatar: The Legend of Korra on there.

Done, thank you. Also suggested some Korra related aliases that I noticed while doing that.

Just don't look up any of the porn. It's terrible.

so people would see clearly that the tag they added is ambiguous and they should replace it with the correct one that is actually meant for the thing they are tagging.
