Aliasing tom_(tom_&_jerry) → tom_(tom_and_jerry)
Link to alias

Reason:

The series tag is tom and jerry, which is also the show's official name.

Same goes for jerry (tom & jerry), spike (tom & jerry), tyke (tom & jerry), and butch (tom & jerry)

Update as of March 29, 2019: Both tags in the alias suggestion have been aliased instead to thomas_cat, the character's full name. In addition:

• jerry_(tom_&_jerry) has been aliased to jerry_mouse.
• spike_(tom_&_jerry) has been aliased to spike_bulldog.
• tyke_(tom_&_jerry) has been aliased to tyke_bulldog.
• butch_(tom_&_jerry) has not been aliased to anything yet, but the character's tag is now established to be butch_cat.

@BooruHitomi I left butch_(tom_&_jerry) alone, mainly due to there being multiple characters named butch in the tom and jerry series: butch cat and the character also called "the irish dog". I was contemplating maybe aliasing it, and toots_(tom_&_jerry), to the base tom and jerry tag or something due to this

I think a disambiguation would be better in that case.

True, but how exactly would I structure that as a tag? butch_(tom_and_jerry)_(disambiguation) is a bit clunky and I thought it might be a bit awkward, but I mean it isn't broken or anything and could be used as a legitimate disambig tag.

Or we could just alias it into the basic butch_(disambiguation) page instead and then redirect users on its wiki page.

Either butch_(disambiguation) or butch_(t&j_disambiguation).

Decided on the former one, figured it'd be the least clunky and also work alright.

If you (or any other user) wish, you can make the wiki page for it, though if not I'll create one eventually

Done.

Thanks booru!

Isn't Tom usually referred to as Tom Cat/Thomas Cat? Perhaps the tag could be one of those (probably tom_cat, since Jerry's tag doesn't use his full name of Jerald).

Tom cat is an incredibly common slang term for a male domestic cat, hence tom's name in the cartoon. It is way too vague imho for his character tag, and would likely lead to rampant misuse, so I used his canon full name that would confuse people less.

Jerry does not have a canon full name, and is just referred to as "jerry mouse", never "jerald mouse"
