Reason: So, i've just noticed that at some point old was aliased to the more sensible elderly, but it's not been updated in regards to any of the age difference related tags or wiki pages. There are other problems with that table as a whole, but this should at least tackle one of the smaller ones.

old is easier to type.

LOL true, but mistagging is a thing. Also, 'old' is a relative thing. I assume that only the adult_on_old one matters, and I'll just retag it manually. It's reasonable to assume old = elderly, but I remember that many would consider me IRL 'old' but I'm no where near elderly!

Hmm, mature_(fe)male applied to two of them, and one actually had the mature_female tag in addition to elderly_female (for the same character), for some reason. Also tagged them elderly_*. TBH, this tag (adult_on_elderly) is pretty much useless.

You might have to edit your BUR.

I’ve been trying to fucking do this.

Even if it's aliased, you can type old_on_old for example and it will function the same if/when it's aliased to a new tag. That's the magic of aliases
