Topic: [APPROVED] You've made a right tit of yourself (BUR)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #3304 is active.

remove alias tit (0) -> tit_(bird) (129)

Reason: A swift glance at the current results for tit_(bird) will provide a reminder of why aliasing a base tag to a suffixed form other than for the purposes of disambiguation is literally never a good idea:

Let me try to understand the thought process here. "Hmm, people are tagging tit to mean breasts, but tit is also a species of avian. Let's create a tit_(bird) tag to separate the actual tits from the colloquial ones. And then let's merge the two tags together again despite this explicitly contradicting the reason the other tag was created in the first place. Whoops, now we've got tits all over our tits and it's all gone tits up."

What should have been done

alias tit -> tit_(disambiguation)
category tit_(disambiguation) -> invalid

EDIT: The bulk update request #3304 (forum #345041) has been approved by @gattonero2001.
