The tag alias #46566 barb_the_dragon_(mlp) -> spike_(mlp) has been approved.

Reason: "Barbara," "Barb," and "Barbs" are all fan-invented names for a crossgender version of Spike. Alternate versions of canon characters do not get their own names.

ETA: ...how do I add additional alias suggestions to the same thread? o.o

EDIT: The tag alias barb_the_dragon_(mlp) -> spike_(mlp) (forum #292369) has been approved by @Millcore.

Looks like its the same person whose been tagging Tailsko on crossgender Tails pictures.

You can use the bulk update request for multiple suggestions in one thread. Can't edit a singular suggestion after the fact afaik.

Thanks for the tip!

Okay, I attempted this, but when I went to post the bulk update, I got an "unparsable line" error. Anyone know what this means?

You need to follow the text format exactly as laid out under the 'Help' button.
tl;dr:
unimply aaa -> bbb
alias aaa -> bbb
etc.

Ohhhh, now I see my mistake. Thanks again!

...and now they're all telling me "[insert tag] must have more than 20 posts to request an alias," even though all of them already do... >.> Eh. I give up, for now.

When listing tags, make sure you type it as barbra_(mlp), not [[barbra_(mlp)]]. It will add the brackets for you, so adding them might make it think you're asking for a different tag.

I never even touched the bracket keys.

+1, and how can you submit a bulk update request within an active thread? I know about submitting a new bulk update request, but what about submitting a bulk update request within a preexisting thread?

When creating a new BUR, you can add the ID of an existing thread to the "Forum topic" field

Thanks! I wondered what that 'forum topic' thing was for.

You can also add [bur:99] to the opening post if you submit a bulk request after you started a thread, so that it still shows the initial alias and the bulk request--I'm not sure how the Thumbs works if you do that though.

The bulk update request #99 (forum #292559) has been approved by @Millcore.

The tag alias barb_the_dragon_(mlp) -> spike_(mlp) (forum #292369) has been approved by @Millcore.

I noticed several aliases not in the formal bulk update request didn't get approved.

• bubble_berry_(mlp) -> pinkie_pie_(mlp)
• elusive_(mlp) -> rarity_(mlp)
• prince_artemis_(mlp) -> princess_luna_(mlp)
• prince_malestia_(mlp) -> princess_celestia_(mlp)
• rainbow_blitz_(mlp) -> rainbow_dash_(mlp) (topic #22617)
• solaris_(mlp) -> princess_celestia_(mlp) (and maybe preemptively add prince_solaris_(mlp) to that alias as well?)
