The tag alias #65257 pet -> pet_(disambiguation) has been approved.

Reason: I'm lifting this from the 2017 banpile because yes, this does need disambiguating.

Here's a finite list of what the term "pet" could imply on this database:
pets = an animal being kept at home as a companion
petting = giving someone affectionate hand contact
petplay = a form of roleplay where at least one participant is being kept as an "animal"
furries with pets = a furry who is keeping a pet animal
humans as pets = a furry who is keeping a human as a pet

A small list sure but it's significant enough to warrant needing a disambiguation, considering that you could get results like this all tagged as "pet" regardless of context.

I would also like to recommend tagging posts that are of pets in the traditional sense as "pet_(animal)" to prevent redundancy.

created domestic_pet, because pet_(animal) isn’t very helpful imo since furries and scalies are half animal

I've authored 2 new wiki pages. One for this disambiguation and for domestic_pet

i've changed my mind about domestic_pet tag (and couple of look-ups with the conflict of domestic pets, petting, and petplay), it'll be a vote up.

as well as tagme.dev project (https://tagme.dev/projects/petdisambig) on top of the things.
