The bulk update request #9558 is active.

remove alias warhammer_40k (0) -> warhammer_(franchise) (4735)
remove alias wh40k (0) -> warhammer_(franchise) (4735)

Reason: So both warhammer_40k (alias #7567 ) and wh40k (alias #7568) both ALIAS to warhammer_(franchise)
Both aliases created by "user 59725" with apparently no related forum post(s).

But warhammer_(franchise) includes
1) warhammer_fantasy : a fantasy universe
2) warhammer_40000 : a science-fiction universe
3) other tags

Starting this BUR in hopes warhammer_40k tag will alias to warhammer_40000 tag (currently with 1.4k posts at e621) instead.
(I'm lukewarm on wh40k as a tag, but since is already a tag... should also alias to warhammer_40000)

***
BUR part 2:
alias warhammer_40k -> warhammer_40000
alias wh40k -> warhammer_40000

create alias warhammer_40k (0) -> warhammer_40000 (1414)
create alias wh40k (0) -> warhammer_40000 (1414)

Reason: (BUR part2)
warhammer_40000 tag is for warhammer_40,000 which is also known as Warhammer 40k.

(edit: thank you @spe for approving both of these BURs)

I wonder when we started going for names like Warhammer_40K/Warhammer_40000 instead of WH40K. Either way, the shortcut WH40K works if I ever find myself tagging them again.

From what I saw, the 40K was sort of in-universe terminology because who wants to try to remember a 5-digit year? :D
