Topic: Tag Alias: lip_bite -> biting_lip

Aliasing lip_bite → biting_lip

Reason:

Like the other one, this is a common formatting mistake for this tag. And again since it happens regularly, it would probably work better if it was aliased so that it corrects it automatically and to help people who struggle to remember the exact format for this common tag.

Except...the wiki has since changed a couple of times based on usage, so that means it continued to be used for someone biting their own lip, probably because the tags are only different by syntax and not actual meaning. None of the images currently under lip_bite fit the proposed usage 9 months ago (someone biting someone else's lip). And that was the case the last few times I've moved a handful of images from it to --> biting_lip manually. So it's an interesting idea, but currently no one's using it that way. Is it really worth keeping separate when continued usage is both lip_bite/biting_lip are being used for characters biting their own lip?

I do like the concept of having a separate tag for biting someone else's lip, but I think it'd be better off under a tag that's a little bit more distinct or clear how it's different from biting_lip. Because we have lots of tags where the *_grab/hold/bite and the grab/hold/bite/etc-ing_* forms are used for the same thing and the only difference is in syntax (grabbing_sheets vs sheet_grab, holding_penis vs penis_hold and dozens more). I think trying to say that in this instance they actually are supposed to be used differently from each other would be an uphill battle.

What about creating a more clear tag like biting_someone's_lip for when they're biting someone else's lips instead of their own?
