Qualify barefoot_sandals

Posted under Tags

BUR #19522 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias barefoot_sandals -> barefoot_sandals_(jewelry)
remove alias barefoot_sandals -> barefoot_sandals_(jewelry)

Ambiguous tag, and I will admit to heavily misusing it myself. Common sense would tell you barefoot sandals is for someone wearing sandals with no socks, but it's actually for a type of jewelry that's actually called "barefoot sandals" (eg post #6560993).

I have to thank the user who's been doing dedicated gardening for this tag, but I feel like it would simply be easier to avoid having to constantly garden the tag by giving it a less ambiguous name.

Barefoot sandals (jewelry) is still too confusing. I suggest calling them something like bridal anklets. They're basically like an anklet connected by a chain to a middle toe ring, like bridal gauntlets or bridal legwear.
There are also some other things in there I'd say are better tagged as stirrup footwear.

Would barefoot_sandal_(accessory) be a good alternative? I think anything would be better than the current term as most people wouldn't know it unless they were into foot accessories, which is probably a relatively small demographic.

As above

Google search shows not all "bridal anklets" have toe rings (look exactly like anklets), or are wearable with shoes (so not really barefoot). Don't know if this is just inaccuracy on the searches part or what. I think my accessory suggestion might fit/differentiate better because I think most would not consider a sandal to imply an accessory, which might give them a suggestion to research the tag first before incorrectly applying it.
