I had tagged a number of posts with a tag that I feel could become quite popular, and all of a sudden many of them no longer have that tag. I found them again using the tag history, but I didn't see anything about them being removed on all the posts in question.

The tag I'm talking about is dick_cleavage

I'm not so sure about the name, but tagging that concept in some way seems completely reasonable to me. I see no reason why the tag should be eliminated. Perhaps renamed, if we can think of something more clear, but it seems like it has utility.

"cleave:

/klēv/

verb

split or sever (something), especially along a natural line or grain."

cleavage is in reference of the cleft formed between breasts; unless you are speaking of a penis that has been sliced in twain, this is a bad tag.

I see what you are trying to do with that, yet it is (mostly) covered by penis_slip.

Translation:
Chessax (and possibly others) have been replacing it with penis_slip because that tag is already in use for the types of images you've been putting dick_cleavage on.

imo dick cleavage should be aliased away. there is already more popular tag for it.

Currently the official tag is "penis_slip". I proposed aliasing it to penis_base, but mods have been really slow with dealing with tag change proposals these last few months.

Can confirm, this and similar tags are on my never ending todo list.
