Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions
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
Would nuking it and then sending it to hole_(disambiguation) work?
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.
The bulk update request #13054 is pending approval.
remove alias hole_(feature) (0) -> hole_(anatomy) (2371)
Reason: Alternative BUR
alias hole_(anatomy) -> hole_(disambiguation)
alias hole_(feature) -> hole_(disambiguation)
If approved I'll nuke all of the posts in the tag before creating the followup

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.

well, that's certainly not true, seeing as changeling hole_(anatomy) alone has over 1500 posts, and as far as I can tell all of those are correct, -rating:e hole_(anatomy) has 1200, most of which are properly tagged. combined that leaves just a hair over 400 posts out of the total 2333 that are most likely to be mistags.
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.
