Bumping because I found another instance of this clash. jin&tonic doesn't seem to have any aliases nor implications, but when trying to alias it to jintonic. This would also be useful because the ampersand screws the blacklist up, it seems.

Rather than checking the wiki, you can search for them here:
https://e621.net/tag_alias
(To get there you can click "Tags" in the top bar then "Aliases")

Any that are highlighted in red are suggested but not accepted yet, so aren't shown on the wiki as they aren't in effect, then any that are blue are accepted and are listed automatically on the wiki.

So this is the entry for the gin&tonic one:
https://e621.net/tag_alias?query=jin%26tonic&aliased_to=&user=&approved=all&forum_post=all&order=tag

Though I'd say that tag-wise, jin_and_tonic would be a better alias.

Yeah, but I figure if there's more than one alias being attributed to it, the mods would want to take a look in case the second alias is better.

Besides, the lack of any message in their wiki pages is sort of a "missing feature", isn't it?

I'd have to agree.

Nah, it's better to go to that implication or alias's thread and post there, not here.
