Ice cream truck utility alias

BUR #11186 has been approved by @Hillside_Moose.

create alias ice_cream_truck -> food_truck

Utility alias, as with such a low number of posts it probably doesn't need its own subtag.

I can see it going either way. Ice cream trucks are more recognizable in some English-speaking regions, but ultimately it's a single-digit number of posts.

I don't see children chasing the taco truck with the same vigor as the ice cream truck.

I think people may be missing that this is a utility alias.

There is currently no ice cream truck tag and all instances of them are tagged food truck or not tagged at all.

Would it be possible for the food truck tag to implicate motor vehicle tag as well? I think it would not make sense to implicate it with truck since the cab may be based from a van.

No.

Someone needs to move the food truck posts to ice cream truck where appropriate then, because as it was stated, the concepts are already merged and this alias would not move anything. Otherwise there's no point in keeping the two terms separate just because of a technicality that nobody has cared about in the last 15 years, if we're not going to actually split the tags.

Thinking about it some more, you can just add ice_cream to the search if you wanted ice cream trucks, so changed my vote.
