Topic: [REJECTED] Tag implication: blue_striped_thigh_highs -> striped_thigh_highs

We don't (usually...) do compound tags like this. It should be aliased to either blue_thigh_highs or striped_thigh_highs. You can then search for blue striped thigh highs with blue_thigh_highs striped_thigh_highs

Is there any sort of official policy on what a compound tag should be aliased to? It seems to me that the target should be the tag with fewer examples, but that could be subject to change.

we don't currently, but in my opinion it should always be either the first word in the tag OR if one of the concepts is severely undertagged, then imply it to that.

the first one is to lower the amount of "bad" entries in the suggested tag list (see: typing "feral_" into the search bar with 0 suggested tags related to feral), the second one is to potentially do the same (since low pop tags show up lower on the list) as well as potentially adding some tags to undertagged posrs.

Now that I think about it, is there a technical reason a tag can't alias to more than one other tag?
