create alias chewing_gum -> bubblegum
create alias gum -> bubblegum
bubble_gum is currently aliased to bubblegum, but these other two tags are also used for the same thing.
Should be self-explanatory
If this gets implemented, I'm planning to do a cleaning pass through the bubblegum tag by properly adding/removing the bubble_blowing tag to filter out images like post #1546510 which have bubblebum, but no bubble blowing.
Bubble gum is a sub-type of chewing gum, so aliasing a broad term to a narrow term seems a bit awkward, even if bubble gum is the dominate depiction.
If it's not labelled and someone isn't blowing a bubble with it, then all that can be safely said about it is that it's chewing gum.
I see. It would indeed be logical to invert the alias in that case.
What would be the best way to tackle this?
It'll probably be fine to alias them to chewing_gum (or if others would prefer gum as the main tag name).
The depictions of bubble gum that people will look for will easily be found under the bubble_blowing tag and the gumballs tag (will migrate that to gumball).
Updated the original bulk request.
remove alias bubble_gum -> bubblegum
create alias bubble_gum -> chewing_gum
create alias bubblegum -> chewing_gum
create alias gum -> chewing_gum
My preference goes to chewing_gum instead of gum. I think that gum might be a bit ambigious.
After this, I will go through the tag and add/remove bubble_blowing and gumball accordingly.
So an image of someone holding a strip of gum (like Wrigley's™) will get tagged chewing_gum
If it's colorful gumballs, it will get tagged chewing_gum and gumball
And someone blowing bubbles will get the additional tag bubble_blowing

create alias gumballs -> gumball
create implication gumball -> candy
create implication gumball -> chewing_gum
All the chewing_gum posts should now have the bubble_blowing tag where its applicable.
I've manually migrated the gumballs posts to gumball (just 25-ish posts) but there should be an implication because of the singular/plural thing.
I think that there also should be an implication from gumball to candy and chewing_gum because gumballs can be seen as both.
