The tag alias #66312 allergy -> allergic_reaction has been rejected.

Reason: "allergic_reaction" is an already very niche tag itself with few posts that use it. Having duplicate similar tags (like "allergy" or "allergic") just helps to framment these posts and make them difficult to search.

Why not the other way around?

it's more "TWYS" this way.
an allergy on its own is more of an invisible trait, an allergic reaction is a perceivable thing.

This is the better option, there are multiple posts that focus on a character having an allergy but don't show physical symptoms of their allergy, which can be tagged separately.

I feel like tagging these is beyond TWYS, I'm not sure this really fits into the kinda stuff that we normally tag based on text and context.
