rename pov_feet -> foot_focus

BUR #3707 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias pov_feet -> foot_focus

oh gee, back at it again with a potentially bad mass update idea

Okay, so here's my rationale for it it:

The pov_hands and pov_crotch tags make total sense, and are exactly what they sound like. Images with these tags are displayed in first-person point of view (POV) and depict the hands or crotch in the scene as if they belong to the viewer. With this in mind, a theoretical image tagged pov_hands, pov_crotch, and pov_feet should be a scene in which the viewer can see their own hands, crotch, and feet. (And admittedly, that's what I first thought the tag was for lol.) But it has a completely different meaning than the first two!

I suggest "foot_focus" because I noticed that "pov_ass" got renamed to "ass_focus". But if "foot_focus" is a no go, then "presenting_foot" could also work, as it'd align with the "presenting_armpit" and "presenting_panties" tags if the current "pov_feet" tag carries some other context specific connotations with it.

edit: oh dang, I now see that "pov crotch" falls into the same boat, and what I thought it was and what the wiki defines it as are two entirely different things. That being said, "pov crotch" seems to be used primarily for what it sounds like (the viewer's crotch as seen from their pov,) as opposed as to what the wiki defines it as (which is basically "presenting_crotch" or "crotch focus").
second edit: okay lol I just browsed through that tag in its entirety. Seeing as they are so sparse in comparison, it would actually be easier just to retag the ones that adhere to what the wiki defines as to "pov_crotch" to "crotch focus" manually. I am currently unemployed and have an abundance of free time, and will volunteer to take it upon myself to do that if necessary.

EDIT: The bulk update request #3707 (forum #174534) has been approved by @evazion.

Theoretically, this is already what the feet tag is supposed to be. From the wiki:

Images that focus on one or both of a character's feet.

The problem is that feet is often being tagged as any instance of feet, leading pov_feet to be the more useful method to search for foot_focus. Counting the result of pov_feet -pov reveals it's not being used for the purpose it's named after. My preference would be that this BUR goes ahead, the feet tag is gardened into foot_focus, and the feet wiki becomes a "Do not use, see foot_focus" page. Obviously that's a lot of tag gardening, though.

This issue was briefly discussed in topic #14889 and topic #16478, including the exact rename this topic is suggesting. It did get some support there, but those topics were mostly focused on other tags.

Regarding the feet tag, I think that it does have some value, even in its current form, so I wouldn't be too hasty with its removal. But the pov_feet -> foot_focus rename make a lot of sense and I do support it.

feet is a terrible tag because inexperienced taggers like to slap it on all posts that have feet somewhere, which is why I support moving the relevant posts to foot_focus. If we want to use foot_focus for pov_feet, the question is, would there be a point in being able to tell apart what currently is tagged feet or pov_feet? I think both tags should be consolidated into foot_focus so that we can get rid of feet too.

Changed to an alias.

The difference between feet and foot focus is the same as the difference between ass and ass focus. Foot focus means "this is definitely a foot fetish picture, the feet are the whole point of the image" while feet just means "this picture has reasonably noticeable feet". Getting rid of feet (or ass, by extension) would just mean that foot focus would get flooded until it becomes the new feet.
