The bulk update request #9231 is pending approval.

create alias psy (0) -> psy_(disambiguation) (0)
change category psy_(disambiguation) (0) -> invalid
create implication gangnam_style (51) -> psy_(musician) (2)

Reason: I'm going to try and get names like these, where one tag is bare where others have creators attached, disambiguated. Starting here.

There are 9 character tags with the name Psy. All posts currently in the Psy tag are of PsyRedtails's persona. (psy)

I'm not sure what to do about the two instances of PSY, the musician, that were there. I've moved them to a new PSY (Musician) tag until someone can suggest a good tag to identify PSY, the person.

mass update psy -> psy_(psyredtails)
create alias psy (43) -> psy_(disambiguation) (0)

These two need to be done as separate BURs. The order of operations within a BUR isn't guaranteed, so it's possible for the psy -> psy_(disambiguation) alias to happen first before the mass update, or for some posts to be changed by the alias while others are changed by the mass update.

IIRC the last time it happened, all the posts got mass updated correctly, but approx half of the posts also went to the alias destination.

In that case, I'll remove the psy -> psy_(disambiguation) alias and we can do that after this BUR is done.

Changed it. Figure it'd make more sense to set up the disambiguation tag properly, and THEN mass update.

I recommend mass updating first before aliasing psy to its disambiguation. Though if you'd rather set up the tag first, you it should be an alias instead of an implication

Doing that as a separate BUR. (topic #46549)

You can put your BUR in the same thread by leaving title blank and putting 46360 in the forum topic section

I was wondering how to do that. Good to know.

Should gangnam_style actually imply psy_(musician)? It seems that the latter would be better reserved for the person himself, while gangnam_style is mostly just referencing the dance.
