The tag alias #69319 bipedal_feral -> biped_feral has been rejected.

Reason: Matches other biped* tags used on the site, like biped and biped_taur.

EDIT: The tag alias bipedal_feral -> biped_feral (forum #400531) has been rejected by @slyroon.

The current form is more grammatically correct, so I’d prefer to keep it as is. I’d also change biped_taur to match. See https://e621.net/forum_topics/43402?page=1#forum_post_401246
The biped tag itself is being used as a noun, so that’s fine to keep as-is.

The tag alias bipedal_feral -> biped_feral (forum #400531) has been rejected by @slyroon.

I am rather greatly confused about this rejection. supposedly being grammatically incorrect is not justification for deny a alias, besides the fact that it is a short hand not a grammatically incorrect word.

in all formal tags we drop the -al, unclaer why this should be an exception.

for consistency the <adjective>_<noun> tag form is preferred when possible.

biped is both a adjective and noun... you talk consistency however this rejection suggests the opposite given what we use for every other that for 2 legged and 4 legged characters.

I don't think biped is an adjective, bipedal is the adjective

I disagree with that dictionary entry.

EDIT: and looking into it, so do most dictionaries other than Oxford; Merriam-Webster, Cambridge, Wiktionary, they all only consider the word a noun.
