The tag alias #74499 drawing -> drawing_(disambiguation) is pending approval.

Reason: The tag drawing seems to cover both the action of drawing as well as physical drawings, be them on paper or on bodies. Additionally, it's also frequently misused as a meta tag when either traditional_media_(artwork) or digital_drawing_(artwork) would be what they were looking for.

I propose disambiguating the tag and having the wiki page list drawing_(action), drawing_(object), drawing_in_a_drawing and drawing_on_body in one section with traditional_media_(artwork) and digital_drawing_(artwork)in the meta section. How does this sound?

There's no need for drawing_in_a_drawing or drawing_on_body. The former would be equally ambiguous if it's referring to an object or action, which are already mentioned as tags. It's also unnecessarily limited to being in drawings, when animations are also a thing. There's also a body_drawing tag already, which would make drawing_on_body redundant (drawing_on_body would also be confusing if the drawing is no longer happening and you only see the result, where body_drawing would work for both active drawing and the result).

I mean, I'd say we already have tags for both. body_drawing could be used for in-progress drawing, where as body_art could be for the result. That or alias one away and use one for both.

felt to me like a more humorous meta tag for drawings that had in-universe drawings within them, so it doesn't need to be on every post tagged with drawing_(object).
