Topic: Tag Alias: santa -> santa_claus

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Tagging Santa Claus when it's somebody dressed up as him makes sense, but what about the theory about multiple santas? I still can't find it, but I believe there was a story actually written around that, where "Santa" was a title, and each one actually simply worked in a small region, recieving gifts through some sort of Christmas magic or something.
...And now that I've typed it out it sounds way too obscure to be of importance, but people may find a way to show something like Santa as a title.

That sounds really obscure, but if something like that comes along it would be pretty simple to tag it santa_(comic) or something similar. I mean we could have something titled "fish" but it isn't enough reason for us to not use fish.

I'll have to look that up though, it sounds interesting.

Edit: I'm definitely going to have to refine my searches...

Don't push yourself too hard... I've been searching for that story for years, and haven't found it yet.
It might have been a crazy dream I had about reading an obscure sort of story that doesn't even exist... I actually had a job as a transcriber for a bit so it's posible

I don't know what you just said, it hurt my head. but aliasing santa -> santa_claus makes sense, end of story XD . IF there is another kind of santa reference that doesnt refer to christmas santa, one could always add something like "santa_(999)." which is totally a thing btw

There is santa_claus (character) tag and the santa_costume tag.
And there seems to be some confusion on which one to use.

At the moment there are three santa wiki pages:
1 santa_hat
2 santa_costume
3 sakura_santa
(with no santa claus wiki page).

With the santa_costume wiki page saying "A Santa costume is a costume that resembles that of Santa Claus, ..."

Personally I suggest only depictions of Santa Claus be tagged with character tag santa_claus.

(otherwise, why have a separate santa_costume tag?)

example: post #797624 tagged with santa_claus tag, but at most I'd give it a santa_hat and sexy_santa tag. Does the santa underwear warrants a santa_costume tag?
