Topic: [Bug] Can't alias public_hair to pubic_hair

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Error: pubic_hair is already aliased to something
(pubic, not public)

Time of incident (if applicable).
just now

Can you reproduce the bug every time?
yes

What steps did you take to replicate this bug?
1) Go to https://e621.net/tag_alias/new

its not a bug. pubic hair is aliased to pubes and you cannot alias things to a tag that has been aliased away. check both tag wikis next time.

I already checked both tag wikis this time.
But I didn't know that you can't have alias chains.

not anymore, i removed it from a post of mine
no idea if you can check how many posts have ever had a particular tag

Wouldn't count on it, tag history search quite frankly sucks, and kira's said that it's hard to improve :V
