Topic: Reverse alias: multi-anus -> multi_anus

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Yes, please.
I just noticed that myself. Tried to manually fix it, only to find out that it's aliased the wrong way around..

I've talked with pickle about it and the multi* tags are on the list of things to get standardized, though I obviously don't have a timeframe.

IIRC the plan is to move to a system like this:

Though it might be somewhat different depending on other factors, this seems like this covers all the multi* tags and makes everything nice and consistent.

That being said, this one bugs me more than any of them.

IMHO "multi-anus" is more correct than "multi_anus". "Multi" isn't a word per-se, so using an underscore (which according to e621 are used to seperate different words of the same tag, this is, as a substitute of the space) isn't grammatically correct.

Either "multiple_anus" or leave it as is ("multi-anus")

I'd support using either multi-* or multi_* as long as we're consistent across the board (multi-breast, multi-eye, etc.), but I'd rather keep the multiple_* tags separate to allow for cleaner wildcard searches (all the body parts at once/all the other multiples at once).

I'd be fine changing every multi_* tag to multi-*, but as it stands, we use underscores more often.
