create alias finger_shhh (0) -> shush (999)
create alias finger_hush (0) -> shush (999)
create alias finger_hushing (0) -> shush (999)

Reason: Because the thought of everybody constantly shushing each other in a library is funny to me.

Various synonymous tag aliases to shush. See also topic #22504 (alias shh -> shush) and topic #24699 (imply shush -> gesture).

EDIT: The bulk update request #429 (forum #300264) has been approved by @Millcore.

Looks like you've rounded up all the usual shushpects.

I wonder if something like shush_gesture would make more sense for a tag name, but either way aliasing all these tags together is a great improvement. ++++1

Would shush also be used for the sound? And if so, would the sound still be considered a gesture, even if a particular example doesn't involve any (visible) bodily movements?

I'd imagine that could be possible (perhaps an implication for raised_index_finger -> gesture would be better?). I'll remove the implication shush -> gesture from this BUR, and that implication can be evaluated separately on it's own in topic #24699.
