the tag drain seems to be used a lot for the type of drain cover used in bathrooms, but sometimes its also used for other things that aren't even related. this should either be aliased to a better tag, be invalid, or both.

there's also draining and drained. the tag is used for multiple different concepts, so they don't seem very useful really. they should definitely be invalidated.

wait, can a tag even be simultaneously aliased and invalid? i'm assuming no lol

Emptying a bathtub versus the hole used for it, yeah.
Exsanguination ala getting bitten by a vampire or something.
Energy draining like for a battery or like in Metroid.
Everything else that could be a form of draining or being a drain.

This needs disambiguation approach. I agree that there should be better tags for this. I suggest drain_(device) or drain_(hole) or drain_(object) for the place where the draining occurs, and draining for the process. A cleanup of this would not take too long (once the tags are chosen). Full list of *drain* tags.

Draining: Oozing semen from an orifice. post #97999 It makes sense, but is a really bad name for it. cum_drain or cum_from_orifice or cum_drip? BTW, Cum_draining already exists and is far less ambiguous.

Drained doesn't even have a wiki entry, but seems like it was supposed to be used for cases like a Succubus draining a male of all their 'fluids' until they look emaciated? I'm not even sure. Drained of cum, in other words? LOL, post #4822920 for cum_draining.

Ball_draining: 3208950 Ouch! 2997648 LOL, cute animation. Ball draining is when the balls visibly contract, it seems.

I went ahead and put a note in the Wiki for draining, to recommend using cum_draining instead.

It isn't usually invalidated, but disambiguated in these cases. Nuking the tags would be vandalism, so definitely shouldn't do that, haha!
Two examples of invalidated tags are cute and cringe.
Use Metasearch to look up invalid tag aliases. Metasearch has a results limit, though, so you can look here for more results.
This goes for disambiguations as well. This link will show all of them.

oh, i thought invalid and disambiguation was the same thing

invalid is just a tag category, and you can change the category of any tag, even ones that are aliased. However it wouldn't have any practical effect until they get unaliased.

Invalidation is just changing the category/aliasing to an invalid tag, disambiguation is aliasing to a disambiguation tag (which is in the invalid category, and of the form *_(disambiguation)).

how about drain_(plumbing)? drain_(hole) is fine too but 'hole' as a word isn't exclusive to drains, while plumbing would encompass the drains used in any sinks/showers/tubs and other facilities that have them.

there are also storm drains, which arent really related to plumbing it seems. and apart from both being drains or can have similar designs with the grates and all i think its good if that is a different, separate tag as its distinct enough.
