Topic: Tag Alias: wiener_dog -> dachshund

Aliasing wiener_dog → dachshund
Link to alias

Reason:

Common, slang nickname for the breed. For a lot of people, wiener dog is much easier to spell/remember the name of as well. I understand it hasn't been used on posts much in itself BUT I feel I can prevent any future issues with posts failing to properly be tagged as dachshund.

I also suggest for weenie_dog to be aliased to dachshund as well, but it's less used than wiener from my experience so I'm unsure.

I wonder if Weiner_dog should also be aliased since it's an easy typo of wiener.

Ah tru, should've thought of that. I'd agree that it should also be aliased.

Agreed. There should be more aliases that address common misspellings. If you have a great aliasing system then use it.
