Topic: [APPROVED] genderxgender BUR

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #2358 is active.

create alias malexmale (0) -> male/male (506865)
create alias malexfemale (0) -> male/female (671078)
create alias femalexmale (0) -> male/female (671078)
create alias femalexfemale (0) -> female/female (103161)

Reason: The incorrect forms of all these tags have a long history of use on this site. malexmale is a particularly common mistake, but I found entries in the changes history for all three of the others too.

EDIT: The bulk update request #2358 (forum #333100) has been approved by @bitWolfy.

Would rather "sexuality" all end up its own tag, which then is invalid. That way people can't try to just leave the invalid tag on in order to keep a tag to find it, as all sexualities will be mixed into it.

This is fine if that's not going to happen, but these extra aliases will create more work to do it.

I mean Male x Male is pretty unambiguously referring to an actual pairing, not a sexuality.
