Topic: Tag alias: grown_fur -> brown_fur

The tag alias #51270 grown_fur -> brown_fur has been rejected.

Reason: Grown_fur appears to have been a typo for brown_fur on a handful of posts before I corrected them, all of which had characters with brown fur. As I don't see any use for grown_fur as a tag, I propose an alias.

EDIT: The tag alias grown_fur -> brown_fur (forum #306966) has been rejected by @Millcore.

It could also be taken as an alternate to fur_growth. Better to invalidate it and, if it remains a problem, make a wiki suggesting brown_fur or fur_growth or whatever else it could be.

Couldn't it always be aliased to fur itself, too? Fur_growth and brown_fur both still depict fur.

It could, but if the tagger meant something more specific than fur, making it invalid would tell them they need to use something else, rather than just silently becoming fur.
