Topic: [BUR] Fixing (nude/clothed)_(gender)_(nude/clothed)_(gender) tags

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

None of these tags are too widely used, so it may be better to simply fix all instances of them rather than make a BUR or make them invalid. Let me know what you guys think.

A couple examples of the tags I'm talking about:
partially_clothed_female_nude_male (114 posts)
nude_female_clothed_male (69 posts)
Or worse:
partially_clothed_anthro_nude_male (bizarrely, at 122 posts)

These tags should definitely not exist and should just be tagged as their individual parts. I'm a bit unfamiliar with the process - if a BUR was to be created here, would I be correct in assuming we would start with implying their individual parts, then making these tags invalid in a follow-up BUR?

Ex:
imply partially_clothed_female_nude_male -> partially_clothed_female
imply partially_clothed_female_nude_male -> nude_male
Then in another BUR:
alias partially_clothed_female_nude_male -> invalid_tag

We don't create implications just to remove them, and there's no reason to alias it to invalid tag
We only get rid of a tag entirely if there is no valid replacement
With these "double double" tags, we usually alias them to the first half (because autocomplete) and call it good (see topic #43781)

I see! Thank you, that does make sense.

The bulk update request #13655 is pending approval.

Reason: I ignored most tags with <3 posts as they can be reasonably cleaned up on their own. I'm pretty sure I got all others, but I may have missed some.
