Topic: Remove drool_worthy_anus alias

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #13553 is pending approval.

remove alias drool_worthy_anus (0) -> anus (673353)

Reason: Why does this alias even exist? It is so specific it was tagged only by 3 users. and having this alias to anus at the top is so annoying when I want to tag drooling

There are many aliases that I find annoying to have appear first but I understand their reason to exist, like all the short_(color)_hair appearing over of short_hair, but drool_worthy_anus? Really? Maybe just alias it to invalid_tag

This could just be a simple boolean in the db, right?

Yeah it's a simple change, though it is across multiple services because autocomplete is separate from the main site

Personally I wish there was an option to remove specific aliases from appearing in your own account, because I use a few of them instead of the actual tag (like hips to add wide_hips, or required_translation to get translation_request, or cow/cat/dog to get cattle/domestic_cat/domestic_dog, etc). An all or nothing toggle isn't the best solution.

Maybe in the advanced settings there could be a "don't list suggested tags" which could let you ignore both aliases that annoy you and tags you know you are never adding but always see. Tho, this seems like a more complex feature to add.

I'd still like the auto-complete list to be sorted; the unaliased tags at the top, and the aliases at the bottom. When typing in dra, for example, you currently get:

draconic penis -> penis
draconic horn -> horn
draconian -> scalie
dragon pokemon -> pokemon
dragon
dragon on gryphon -> interspecies
dragosect -> hybrid
draconcopode
dragon humanoid
dragon ball

Instead, I think it would be better to give:

dragon
draconcopode
dragon humanoid
dragon ball
----
draconic penis -> penis
draconic horn -> horn
draconian -> scalie
dragon pokemon -> pokemon
dragon on gryphon -> interspecies
dragosect -> hybrid
