The bulk update request #13001 is pending approval.

create alias ball_bulge (1579) -> ball_bulge_(disambiguation) (0)
create alias balls_bulge (13) -> ball_bulge_(disambiguation) (0)
create alias bulging_balls (122) -> ball_bulge_(disambiguation) (0)
change category ball_bulge_(disambiguation) (0) -> invalid

Reason: Intended as a tag for balls with bulges caused by object(s) inside them, but due to ambiguous name often used to tag bulges. There are approximately 613 posts with the former meaning and 871 with the latter.
bulging_balls has a similar problem, with ratio of 81 to 38. It also could be misunderstood to mean big_balls.

I used to clean up that tag, but both due to how often it's misused and how much I really didn't like seeing the correct posts, I gave up and called it a lost cause

I was someone that mistagged it (not that I tagged it that much, but I did some). I could've sworn I read the wiki page for it once and it said it was for bulges on clothing where the balls were distinguishable, but looking at the wiki page history, it never did. I wonder how I misinterpreted the tag.

What are we disambiguating between? Like, what tagging suggestions go into the disambiguation wiki?

I'd go for bulge_in_balls as the replacement tag, the name should be clearer than either names we have now

  • bulge_on_balls for bulge on balls

Do we have a precedent for when to use on/in (or does a grammar rule exist that I don't know about)
