Topic: [APPROVED] 'bug' is aliased to 'arthropod', 'bugs' is aliased to 'insect' (BUR)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #2218 is active.

remove alias bugs (0) -> insect (43873)

Reason: For consistency's sake and to avoid confusion, I think it'd be fair if bug and bugs both redirected to the same tag. As usual this needs to be done in 2 parts, with the goal being to have both tags aliased to insect. I'm open to having them aliased to arthropod instead, though.

Edit: per the others, I've switched the BUR to having the tags aliased to arthropod in the end.

EDIT: The bulk update request #2218 (forum #330207) has been approved by @bitWolfy.

That would be better IMO. Technically "bugs" are a type of insect but people commonly use the word to refer to arthropods in general.

Fair enough, changed.
