Topic: [REJECTED] Tag alias: nutjob -> balljob

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag alias #54765 nutjob -> balljob has been rejected.

Reason: nutjob is currently unlike any other balls-related tag, using informal language for it that makes actually finding the tag to begin with difficult. All the other balls tags use "balls," this should be no different.
Also, nutjob is far more commonly used as a colloquialism for a crazy person. I understand if someone thought the name was clever, but it just hampers tag discovery.
This would bring the tag in line with other balls-related tags.

EDIT: The tag alias nutjob -> balljob (forum #318558) has been rejected by @Rainbow_Dash.

Something like this, then?

update nutjob -> balljob
alias nutjob -> nutjob_(disambiguation)
category nutjob_(disambiguation) -> invalid

I feel pretty confident about the mass update - I don't think anyone has ever actually used "nutjob" in its other sense on this site, but I agree the existing tag is both confusingly named and inconsistent.

The BUR can't be made until this alias is rejected, though.

It feels pretty common to see people confused that there's no balljob tag on posts about it

The bulk update request #1554 is active.

create alias nutjob (0) -> nutjob_(disambiguation) (0)
create alias ball_fuck (0) -> balljob (793)

Reason: Is this happening?

EDIT: Apparently not, topic #29286 needs to be rejected (and replicated) too.

DOUBLE EDIT: Added ball_fuck alias, which seems to have been widely approved other than the "nutjob" issue in the previous thread.

EDIT: The bulk update request #1554 (forum #320216) has been approved by @gattonero2001.

Do we really need a disambiguation page for this one? Why not just alias it directly? Is anybody actually going to try to tag “nutjob” on a post with a crazy person and not think it might possibly refer to a sex act instead?
