fingerless_armwarmers should just be aliased to arm warmers, no? armwarmers are fingerless by default since they don't even go past the wrist.

Oh good catch, I updated my part 2 section.

Reason: fingerless gloves, elbow gloves, and whatever color or pattern. That's all you need for searching. These tags just contribute to an unnecessary amount of tag bloat for such a relatively niche subject.

Part 2:

Some of the tags being aliased have other implications which'll block the second part of your BUR, going through them will take a while.

Also should fingerless elbow gloves only be aliased to fingerless/elbow gloves only, or just gloves only? Same for the [color]_fingerless_elbow_gloves, should they be aliased to fingerless_gloves or [color]_fingerless_gloves? If it's the former, are we dismantling [color]_fingerless_gloves too?

Oh and there's a typo which got an implication tree, fingeless elbow gloves only

Edit: And it seems your part 2 didn't include aliasing away fingerless elbow gloves, which is 1 of the 2 things in the followup BUR that wouldn't have been hit with a BTR

Ty very much for the callouts, all that should be resolved now.

I've been mulling over whether that would be too aggressive, but that was my plan. fingerless_gloves + [color]_gloves should be more than suitable.

Why kill fingerless_elbow_gloves itself? It's just one tag that makes it more convenient than typing both separately.

There's a certain point where combo tags become excessive.

RIP two-tone_fingerless_elbow_gloves, you will be missed

Anyway does anyone object to having the fingerless gloves and elbow gloves tag pruned of their incoming implications? Or would that be far too aggressive to have them reduced down to [adjective]_gloves + fingerless/elbow_gloves

obviously we have nothing better to do

because excessively specific hybrid tags like this are why posts are starting to hit the 2k tag limit.

Today I learned...

Also, it's too late now, but I do wonder why the colors and such weren't aliased to the respective *_fingerless_gloves tag instead of just fingerless_gloves itself. Not a huge deal since they already implied them so all the relevant posts had the tag already, but still a bit odd.

I believe the original plan was to alias those too, but thought better than to expend the effort

Makes sense. Been trying to use tags like green_gloves in those cases, instead of green_4-fingured_gloves_with_red_tips_and_on_a_monday. SNPtheCat mentioned the green_fingerless_gloves issue as well.

Man, that would have been funnier if NMNY said it.

I like the hybrid tags when they let me automatically do several implications, but then I usually have no use for them after that. Oh well... TBF, I've been going through tags added by IKYM and the other 2 usual suspects and cleaning them up.

So it's easier to tag both fingerless_gloves and elbow_gloves rather than simply tagging fingerless_elbow_gloves? This will only further contribute to the problem of tag bloat, along with making searching more difficult.

How does it contribute to tag bloat when fingerless_elbow_gloves already implied both of those tags?

Both of those were already tagged with fingerless_elbow_gloves anyway through implications.

It's actually the opposite.
It's weird that I am saying this, but for example rainbow_fingerless_elbow_gloves implied multicolored_fingerless_elbow_gloves, which implied fingerless_elbow_gloves.
So now 1~3 meaningless tags are gone from every post due to this BUR.

but now searching fingerless_elbow_gloves returns results for fingerless_gloves but not elbow gloves, which makes it more difficult to filter search results. Also (color)_fingerless_elbow_gloves should have been aliased to (color)_fingerless_gloves instead of every color fingerless_elbow_gloves aliased to just fingerless_gloves. would have been better that way. Either way, it's a disprovement rather than an improvement, and for what? to get rid of ONE EXTRA TAG on each post...

If a person wants to see fingerless_elbow_gloves, they can use fingerless_gloves elbow_gloves.
Same goes to colors,
fingerless_gloves elbow_gloves pink_gloves will show you the same result as pink_fingerless_elbow_gloves.

I wasn't happy with this BUR actually, but I'm also sure not many people look up for *_fingerless_elbow_gloves. And if they want to do so for some reason, they can use a combination of 2 or 3 tags.

change purely for the sake of change, which does not actually help anyone at all

We've already established it's for the sake of cleanup in tag lists so that people can more easily find what they're looking for without getting bogged down by clutter.

I'm going to be honest, your comments in these past several threads have not been particularly constructive
