Topic: [REJECTED] Tag alias: brey_body -> grey_body

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag alias #63630 brey_body -> grey_body has been rejected.

Reason: Usually, it's a typo(which doesn't happen much but I assume it would be a good alias to have).
(mb if I'm doing smth dumb this is my first time requesting a tag alias.)

EDIT: The tag alias brey_body -> grey_body (forum #373769) has been rejected by @furrypickle.

For the past 8 years, a grand total of 3 people made that typo.
The first two noticed and fixed their own typos while the last one was fixed by you.

typos just shouldnt be aliases

Typos, if they're common enough, are one of the things aliases are very much intended for.

An alias is where you replace one tag with another tag.

This is typically used for typos: felatio ALIASES to fellatio
Or for synonyms (words that means the same thing): blowjob ALIASES to fellatio

It causes no harm to be an alias.

It does when it causes the autosuggest lists to be filled with irrelevant results due to aliases to highly used tags. Type in fer and look where the result for feral is. As Labra says we'd do it for common typos, to avoid having to manually find and fix them all the time, but in this case it's an extremely rare typo with all but one self-fixed by the one who mistagged it.

The site has always aliased synonyms and typos to their main counterpart. For example https://e621.net/forum_topics/39871

generally typos are only aliased away when there's really no ambiguity on it being a typo and always being such and the ttpo is common enough to warrant the alias.

however, I do believe that Brey a given name and Body is a sirname, fairly uncommon in real life, maybe, but there is a small possibility a character named "Brey Body" being created that's relevant to the site.

also potentially adding additional bload suggested tag dropdown.
