Does this tag even need to exist? Seems like a search for "night" and "sky" should handle this. I mean, combined with the other suggestion of implicating night_sky to "night", we're literally saying all posts tagged with "night_sky" should be tagged with the same two words separately... which kind of makes it sound like having them together in a single tag is kind of pointless.

I'm thinking we should alias night_sky to "sky" or "night" instead (man I wish we could alias one tag to two separate tags...)

I've always found the sky tag by itself to be pretty worthless. Outside is more widely tagged, and the results don't differ much from sky.

Night sky at least is a bit more specific, and is usually used as a combination of three tags: sky, night and stars. Seems marginally more useful. Not sure if it's worth keeping, though.

Looks like the tag has been moved over to starry_sky, this implication should be deleted, along with forum #133532.

That's probably an improvement anyways. I know night_sky was actually a bit of a mishmash of uses. At the very least, it would regularly be tagged on images that were only outside at night without the sky visible, or had a black/dark background that really wasn't anything let alone sky. starry_sky is more clear that it's not just a nighttime picture, while also being more flexible (can be tagged during sunset, outer_space, or even during the daytime so long as there's stars-in-the-sky). All of which happen regularly in images. And that is useful to have a tag for because star/stars are a common pattern that show up everywhere so a tag that specifies stars-in-the-sky and not just on someone's boxer shorts seems useful still. So I think I'm going to leave the starry_sky tag alone, it's good. And since the night_sky tag has been empty for awhile now and stayed empty, I'm guessing it doesn't need anything either. I think everything that used to be under it is adequately tagged using night if it's just at nighttime, sky if the sky is visible and prominent/noticeable, and starry_sky if there's stars in the sky regardless of the time. And then searching starry_sky night if they want to see stars in the sky but only at night which would return better results than the mishmash night_sky used to be.

So yeah, I'm deleting both implications. If night_sky starts being used again, we can invalidate it somehow. But I don't think it's been in use for awhile now so there's no point.
