The tag alias #58059 deck_(cards) -> card_deck has been rejected.

Reason: How do I also add a request to make deck_of_cards alias to card_deck? Noticed someone used deck_(structure) and if those aliases existed, people are less likely to make that mistake.

EDIT: The tag alias deck_(cards) -> card_deck (forum #340070) has been rejected by @bitWolfy.

EDIT: The bulk update request #3317 (forum #) has been approved by @bitWolfy.

Use a BUR. For the script use:

alias deck_of_cards -> card_deck

(you can find templates for the various script lines to copy and paste if you hit the "Help" under the Script box.)

In the Forum Topic box, put in this thread's number – 34549 – so you can append it here.

I'm... reading that. I'll probably understand it after coming back from a break. So, BUR = bulk update request? AFAICT, there's no one using those two aliases, but it would encourage correction to the currently used on.

I'll have to figure out templates when I get back. Thanks for the tip! :edit: Sweet, that was easy. I just needed to know to use BUR and that script line. :)

The bulk update request #2867 has been rejected.

create alias deck_of_cards (0) -> card_deck (86)
create alias deck_(cards) (0) -> card_deck (86)

Reason: Prevents accidentally using wrong tag

EDIT: The bulk update request #2867 (forum #340079) has been rejected by @alphamule.

Personally I'd rather see deck_of_cards be the primary tag, but otherwise it all looks good.

Deck_of_cards should definitely be the primary tag. Id say yes if this was reversed.

Card_deck is an incredibly unintuitive and non rational word order

OK, I guess I'll resubmit if more agree. Not the first one I've seen this week with that issue (One where the popular variation is actually questionably accurate dealing with infinite versus unending cum). Is it a horrible pain to reverse an implication once it's made? If so, better do it other way around in first place!

I'd also prefer deck_of_cards over card_deck, personally. It flows more naturally, although that may be bias due to that being the only way I've heard it phrased before.

In a BUR? You could do that easily enough. But individual alias / implication requests cannot be edited.

Nope, at least for a BUR. For undesired older style alias and implication requests, you'll need to ask an admin to reject it (one of the lines in the BUR was unnecessarily repeating it, hence the "# duplicate of alias #58059 " error). Next, edit the BUR (click on the bulk update request #2867 at the top of your BUR post) to redo the aliases.

create alias card_deck -> deck_of_cards
create alias deck_(cards) -> deck_of_cards

I’ll leave my 👍 because the alias needs to be done either way, but I do think deck_of_cards sounds better.

I requested a mod remove it using report option but not sure if that was how to do it, since it's still not rejected or whatever. :(

Not sure if asking for rejection is necessary here (mods will get to this topic eventually), but the best way to reject a request is to write in topic #28957.

Your BUR #2867 can be edited by the way.
alias card_deck -> deck_of_cards
alias deck_(cards) -> deck_of_cards
for quickness.

Thanks, I'll figure it out. :)

:edit: Yeah, it refuses to let me. :(
:edit: I realize that I have to reject it myself, then resubmit a proper BUR again. Sorry for the trouble. No, wait, that won't work. Sigh... Guess we'll do "update" BUR after this is completed.

update card_deck deck_of_cards

This is correct?

You can edit a BUR on the same page you can reject it from...

It refused to let me. Complained about the self-referencing alias. :(

Unless you forgot to flip a part of it, it should work, I'd think. Might have accidentally left a loop in?

alias deck_of_cards -> card_deck
alias deck_(cards) -> deck_of_cards

This would alias something to the same tag you're aliasing away, for example.
Or you could have accidentally left the deck of cards on the start while successfully changing the second half. That's the only thing that sounds like it would be "Self referencing" to me.

Is it because of the script conflicting with this alias request? I got frustrated and tried to cancel them to start over. Bottlenecked at this stumbling block. (Or better phrase, logjammed?)

Antecedent name has already been taken (create alias deck_(cards) -> deck_of_cards)

That's the error message that issue pops up, completely different from something being self-referencial.

TBF, I was kind of tired and frustrated by the point I saw it again. :(

I guess that'll work. Sigh, I never figured out how to redo it the way asked.
