alias ali_baba_saluja -> alibaba_saluja

BUR #29400 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias ali_baba_saluja -> alibaba_saluja

I think a rename would be better, no need to keep the current version, but I can't even propose that, it has too many posts.

If you add a second line to remove the alias in the same BUR, it will have the same effect as renaming the tag.

It indeed allows

alias ali_baba_saluja -> alibaba_saluja
unalias ali_baba_saluja -> alibaba_saluja

that's a bug then.

Anyway I'll keep the BUR as it is, with only the alias, after a second thought. He is ali_baba on zerochan (+ not to mess with the 2 votes).

No it isn't. It's a workaround that is used by members of all levels, including admins. I don't know why we can't just use rename for tags with more than 200 posts, but the workaround isn't something that needs to be fixed. If anything, we should remove the post limit for rename.

BUR #29416 has been rejected.

create alias ali_baba_saluja -> alibaba_saluja
remove alias ali_baba_saluja -> alibaba_saluja

It's a very minor spelling change, so I think renaming is a reasonable option.

The limit on rename size exists precisely to force you to submit an alias instead. Alias removals like these should only be done in case of ambiguity, otherwise it doesn't hurt to have the alias since we've used the previous name for years.
