Reason: BURs did not exist 6 years ago. But that's exactly what this was trying to do manually (with everything under the implication at the top). So let's make it easier and format it properly.

EDIT: looks like these are already done in the meantime:
create alias pool_cue (0) -> cue_stick (134) # duplicate of alias #16862
create alias pool_table (0) -> billiard_table (398) # duplicate of alias #15775
So I'll remove those from the BUR list.

Also about that last question, I am not sure we have an umbrella tag for sports equipment. Or at least, I don't see one in the tag tree on here https://e621.net/wiki_pages/14877#equip . Do we need one?
