I would have made a suggestion to this, but the two posts underneath would be a problem.

Can the no_underwear -> bottomless alias still be used, or should it be aliased to something else?

Why does it need to be aliased at all?
There's nothing wrong with the no_underwear tag.

No, it isn't.
-underwear simply removes images that have underwear in them.
no_underwear is for images that show that a character isn't wearing underwear.

Not really. No_underwear is a bit more specific than simply "no visible underwear". It's actually specifying when you can see that the underwear layer of clothing is missing even though they're clearly wearing whatever other clothing that normally goes overtop of underwear.

That's why it's not the same as bottomless where there is no clothing over their bottom half (legwear doesn't count in this case). And it's also not possible to approximate it by searching -underwear because that gets everything from fully clothed (so underwear unknown but probably out of sight) to fully nude (where no clothing at all is present so it's hardly remarkable that the underwear isn't seen). If you compare the search results of -underwear to the no_underwear tag, you can see it's just not the same concept. So even if only looking at the words it made sense; in practice, it wouldn't.

Hey, while we are on the topic, do upskirts without underwear also count as "no_underwear" because there are a lot that aren't tagged as such.

In my opinion, yes they'd qualify. And would need tagging.

I was thinking of no_underwear as not wearing underwear, though it makes a lot more sense now, thanks.

Hey, no problem. It's not always obvious if there's not a good wiki to go with it.

Definitely yes.
And it wouldn't be bottomless because skirt.
