The bulk update request #8092 is pending approval.

remove alias poser (0) -> 3d_(artwork) (174692)
create alias poser_pro_2012 (1) -> poser_(artwork) (8)
create implication poser_(artwork) (8) -> 3d_(artwork) (174692)
change category poser_(artwork) (8) -> meta

Reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poser_(software)

Part 2 is just:
alias poser -> poser_(artwork)

While I agree with most of this, I'm surprised that poser got aliased in the first place. It's a common word meaning to fake it (slang) or someone that poses.

I'd imagine neither of those uses are commonly tagged.

OK, TBF, tags like that get deleted. "Faker" "pretender" "imitator" "lamer" <--- These would get removed, eventually. The only legit use would pretty much be the noun. But the noun is too generic. Imagine if there was software named Windows oh wait... ;)

They can't be since the tag has been aliased away. There's no way to tell how often 3d_(artwork) gets mistagged as a result of people trying to tag poser, as opposed to any other alias/reason 3d_(artwork) can end up on a non-3D image, or people trying to use "poser" as meaning faker/pretender on a 3D image so it ends up correctly tagged despite using the incorrect tag.

I meant theoretically, I don't think people would use poser in that way often enough on this site for it to be actually ambiguous. Especially since the other usage wouldn't be valid anyways.

Post change history isn't super helpful since it was aliased years ago, but all the additions we can see are actually referring to the program, except for two mistags, one looking like a typo of pose, 13 years ago.
