The bulk update request #9517 is pending approval.

create alias wold (0) -> wolf (326395)

Reason: Seems to be a fairly common typo - it's been edited off of posts about 39 times in 2024. When edited, it's almost always replaced by "wolf".

Given the mehvotes, would it be better to either invalidate or disambiguate wold?

Maybe the argument is that it's not 100% guaranteed that it's a typo for wolf, so aliasing it won't always be correct.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/wold I would not be shocked to see wolves in a wold, that is also wood(land)s.

Apparently, every single result was wolves, though. No shock.

Update for reference: 2 days ago it had 10+ posts under wold and now there is none.

In future, if someone wants to tag wolds and not intend it to be wolfes, then they can get a disambiguation going, or you know, use other tags for hills and forests.

Aliasing (unlike implications) don't need to always be correct, since the errors can be sorted out. If 99% of the posts under wold are wolf, and/or the other things it could mean are pretty farfetched/unused, it probably can be aliased
