Aliasing person → invalid_tag
Link to alias

Reason:

Hard to search for in the logs, but looks like it's been used somewhat frequently.

Can't alias it to solo since there could be more characters. Usually tagged for humans, but that doesn't seem like a safe alias either.

What are these logs? Do they show obsolete uses of tags on posts? I would like to try this feature.

Tag history can be searched from http://e621.net/post_tag_history/index, by entering the tag you're looking for and leaving the rest of the fields empty.

Unfortunately, there's no exact searches (as far as I know), so searching for something like 'person' also finds all instances of first_person_view, etc. Some tags are easy to check, but this one isn't one of those.

Use spaces. person will find that tag as is, not first_person_view and stuff.

Seriously? Thanks, that'll be useful.
...wish I had known that sooner. Would've saved a lot of time on more than one occasion.

Looks like the person has been tagged for 37 posts. Not a whole lot, but might still be worth aliasing.

That's amazing and I love you for it.

Hmm...it has been a while since the search logic on that page was updated...

Edit: Approved
