Topic: *_eye versus *_eyes

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Specifically, should we normalize this so that *_eye tags are aliased to their counterpart *_eyes tags, to make it cleaner? About once a week or so I cruise through the *_eye tags and swap them over to their sister *_eyes tags.

If I see a character that has, say...heterochromia, or one eye is hidden by hair or something, I still tag *_eyes, so that it shows up in more searches. Heterochromia characters get the two corresponding *_eyes tags in addition to heterochromia.

There are a few oddball *_eye tags that aren't color-based that would need to be addressed on a separate basis, as well.

Thoughts?

Inbread dog... :P

I say yes to this, I mean, singular to plural? Yeah, why not. Like most tags, this has been done already. Edit: further elaboration not needed

Agreed, I often move them over manually. It would be nice if they automatically corrected to the plural version.

Having all the *_eyes tags aliased to *_eyed would solve this problem e.g. a character with a green eye and a red eye would be green_eyed & red_eyed, not green_eyes & red_eyes.

It will be aliased to the plural form as eyes are usually in pairs. We would normally alias the plural to the singular but objects are usually not in pairs as eyes are

Sounds good.
I see no need to keep those separate. There's already the one_eye tag for cyclopean characters, so it would still be possible to search for those by combining that tag with *_eyes.
