Topic: [APPROVED] Crackers Disambiguation BUR

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #10734 is active.

mass update crackers -> crackers_(artist)
remove alias kitazureskye (0) -> crackers (0)
change category crackers_(disambiguation) (0) -> invalid
change category crackers_(artist) (470) -> artist

Reason: "Crackers" can refer to:

  • An artist
  • A food item
  • Several characters
  • A holiday toy
  • An explosive
  • An insult
  • Lots of other things

Most extant posts tagged with "crackers" are the artist. I just had to manually de-tag one that wasn't (post #5426536).
If a name is also a common word, then it needs a suffix.

EDIT: The bulk update request #10734 (forum #443262) has been approved by @spe.

No, you can make a second BUR to remove the alias and add it to this same thread (put in topic ID 55857).

-1
Don't alias and mass update the same time in the same BUR. It can cause issues.
Do the removal of alias and mass update in the first BUR, then alias in the second.

No. You already have 2 BURs in this thread, you can edit and move the lines around

I THINK I've got it now? Never done a transplant like this before.
