Topic: [APPROVED] cloudscape would be better named skyscape [BUR]

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #6259 is active.

remove alias skyscape (4455) -> cloudscape (0)
remove alias sky_scape (0) -> cloudscape (0)
remove alias cloud_scape (0) -> cloudscape (0)

Reason: The wiki for cloudscape says: "A scenery tag, used when a post has a particular emphasis on the sky. Usually this will mean highly detailed fluffy clouds, but the tag can technically be used for any type of sky, even ones without clouds." The point of the tag is for sky scenery, not specifically cloud scenery. So isn't skyscape a more descriptive name?

Part 2:
unalias cloudscape -> skyscape
unalias sky_scape -> skyscape
unalias cloud_scape -> skyscape

EDIT: The bulk update request #6259 (forum #387223) has been approved by @slyroon.

i like that skyscape is more self-descriptive and general than cloudscape, but for me it is just way too similar to skyscraper that i confused the two multiple times just reading this bur (and i'm not even dyslexic)

idk about any better word for it though, maybe "sky_focus" or "sky_shot"?

Ugh, given how many assumed that it HAD to have clouds. Yeah, this kind of sucks, to have to go through and add cloud-related tags, in cases people forgot.
