create alias bajoran_earrings -> ear_chain
Someone just made a bajoran earrings tag today, but there was already a (wikiless and severely underpopulated) ear chain tag, I think we should use the more general term instead of an obscure Star Trek reference.
No, yeah. Seconding this as a Star Trek fan. I know what Bajoran earrings are and what they look like... but if you showed me an ear chain and told me it was Bajoran I would have no idea what you were talking about. The shape of the Bajoran earrings are too specific to be applied so generally like this.
I'm personally in favor of just moving every post with the "Bajoran earrings" tag to ear chain and nuking it. I don't see the point of making it an alias except to deter the one person using the tag.

yeah, I agree. I myself don't ever see an actual bajoran earring coming onto the site but we already have ear chain. Just either do a mass update or a rename in this case.
Edit: There were only 24 tags of Bajoran_earrings. I used 2 seconds as a builder to erase that and put in ear_chain
DONE!
