Topic: Tag Alias: balancing_on_tail -> tail_stand

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Aliasing balancing_on_tail → tail_stand
Link to alias

Reason:

furrypickle pointed out these were identical in post #181331. The Balancing tag is a recent creation. Tail_stand may be older, but is hard to find (though could be less so after aliasing) and has barely 30 posts (even less since I wouldn't include snakes in that tag).

Basically this aliasing could go either way, so discuss away.

tail stand sounds kinda awkward and doesnt really describe what its about. how about standing on tail?

tail_stand specifically refers to standing using nothing but your own tail for support.

balancing_on_tail works for both standing using your own tail AND balancing an object on your tail, such as a spinning plate, a basketball, etcetera.

Due to the broader nature of one term than the other, I say nay.

You do realize Balancing_on_tail is something I created because tail_stand didn't exist? There was nothing in that tag before I started using it.
