The tag alias #81544 hole_(anatomy) -> invalid_tag is pending approval.

Reason: Far too generic to ever be useful, as defined this applies to practically all 6 million posts on the site

The existing alias to it (alias #21088) was added with no discussion by a previously problematic admin, so it shouldn't be considered as legitimizing the tag

this tag has a coherent definition in theory, being that it's for large, natural gaps in a character's body. this is most common seen on here with changelings, but it's also common to see other monster-y characters have them as well.

like, maybe this could use a cleanup and rename since it is kind of a mess, but alias to invalid seems unnecessary.

From what I've seen of this tag I'm convinced cleaning it up would leave a few dozen to 100 posts at most, which just shows it needs a different name

I think these might work better as specific hole_in_<body_part> tags.

I agree with dba afish because hole_(anatomy)/(feature) is definitely used for holes not mentioned on the wiki page.

I like thegreatwolfgang's idea too.
Imo hole_(anatomy) can stay as the umbrella tag for hole_in_* though.
