Topic: Tag alias: no_shoes -> invalid_tag

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag alias #81905 no_shoes -> invalid_tag is pending approval.

Reason: "no_shoes" is used largely as a synonym for "barefoot." However, I think that an invalidation is more appropriate than an alias to "barefoot," because the tag is also sometimes used to mean "socks_only."

So, it's a redundant tag, but it's used in place of two existing tags, not just one.

If a character is wearing socks, they are not barefoot, as socks count as a clothing item. Therefore, I agree with the invalidation of no_shoes.

discarded_footwear should still be valid if the footwear has been left aside, similar to discarded_clothing. This is useful when a character removes their footwear in a rush, throws it aside and it remains visible.

shoes_removed has no use for me, as I can use barefoot or socks and tag the type of shoe that is visible.

I think this should be disambiguation rather than entirely nuked considering the number valid tags this could mean.
