create alias cell (0) -> cell_(disambiguation) (6)
create alias cells (0) -> cell_(disambiguation) (6)
change category cell_(disambiguation) (6) -> invalid

Reason: Cell is an ambiguous tag, suggest to disambiguate.
Proposing to use the new tag, cell_(biology), for non-character animal/plant cells.

On a separate note and something worth of discussion, what should we do with the *_(organism) species tags?
While I do see that some that are used for anthropomorphised organisms, a whole bunch of new categories have been erroneously created and added in by @ArtistClone24.

I do not see the practical purpose of having so many different classifications (except for a few notable ones), and there is the issue of whether the viruses can be considered a species tag here.

If there's any that are treated like characters, I'd say yes. After all, there's also food_creature, animate inanimate, and flora_fauna as examples. Perhaps something like virus_creature would be of use?

I guess it really depends on how they are drawn or designed.
Virus_creature could work, but then it will also have to be tagged for anything ranging from simple doodles to full characters.

And then there is the case with non-virus organisms like cells and bacteria, do they get a similar cell_creature tag?
For example, Osmosis Jones, canonically a white blood cell, gets tagged as a goo_creature instead.
