Topic: [APPROVED] tag name change

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Probably should be an alias. Alias everdawn -> hollow13 means "all instances of everdawn become hollow13, and going forward, if anyone tags everdawn, it also becomes hollow13". Aliases are very common. Mass updates, on the other hand, are rarely used. Mass update everdawn -> hollow13 means "all current instances of everdawn become hollow13, but it's still possible for everdawn to be tagged in the future". A mass update would be useful if we wanted to start using the tag everdawn for something totally different in the future or if people were likely to mistakenly tag it for something completely different in the future, neither of which are the case here. If you click the BUR link, you can edit it.

Thanks a lot for the help, I’ve edited it now :) I’m so not good with this sort of thing :C
