Aliasing open → invalid_tag
Link to alias

Reason:

ambiguous

thoughts?

What is open? Ah tell you whut. As I've -just- seen on the listing, open is used for when the character has its mouth open

Except on these two:

But it can just alias it to open_mouth (don't worry for the second post, I just removed open from it)

I'm seeing a lot of images that don't contain open mouths. Even though it does seem to be the primary usage, it would end up being a destructive alias.

I think open_mouth might be the best alias though as it would at least help tag that tag more

Yeah but like Saffron said, it may seem it's primary usage, but it isn't the only one and aliasing it to open mouth could end up being more destructive.

Having it aliased to invalid tag only creates mistagging 100% of the time, and more work, whereas aliasing it to what it's used for 90% of the time, only creates a small amount of work cleaning it up

But the remaining 10% gets mixed in with thousands of images and is hard to clean up, and such mistags usually go unspotted for months or even years. Invalid_tag is far easier to remove.

After looking_at_partner got aliased to eye_contact, there's been a lot of images like these tagged as eye_contact:

I've almost given up on trying to clean those. Because new mistags keep popping up all the time, and it's hard to tell from the thumbnails whether the tag's valid or not.

Aliasing open to open_mouth would have the same result: bunch of hard-to-spot mistags mixed in with the valid ones.
