Rename FREEZING

BUR #4292 has been approved by @evazion.

rename freezing -> freezing_(series)

The name is too ambiguous.

Neutral on the change, but visually would we even be able to tag the process of freezing? If not, then this might as well be an alias.

Something like distinguishing partially iced-over characters or objects like post #2406123 as "freezing" as opposed to post #2440975 or post #2074348 as "frozen" comes to mind, but I don't know if it would actually be useful to anyone.

You could also simply call images like post #2406123 "partially_frozen" instead of implying an action that isn't necessarily there.

The series has held the tag name for over 12 years in which needing that name hasn't come up, as such pushing for the change is not out of necessity but an arbitrary cosmetic preference. This would also mean that there really isn't a reason this couldn't simply be an alias, since there isn't an actual necessity to leave an empty tag.

+1 to making it an alias.

An alias would likely reduce the amount of miss-tagging a bit.

I don't really see how an alias is necessary for a copyright with less than 200 images, and the last two images were over 6 months and over 2 years ago.
Personally I came to the BUR because I thought that freezing was a Gen tag for characters with frozen saliva etc, before I found cold. I don't know how it's for others.

On another note, do aliases work for copyright tags with less than 200 tags, given the new rule? Or does the new BUR rule only count for Gentags?

If someone wants to change this to an alias request, you can do it.

The rule makes it so that renames are not possible for tags over 200 posts. It doesn't affect aliases.

The bulk update request #4292 (forum #177977) has been approved by @evazion.

I don't think an alias is necessary. If someone is searching for freezing on Danbooru, they're probably looking for frozen or ice or something like that, not a manga from 2006.
