Aliasing eeveelutions → eeveelution

Reason:

Well both tags depict the same thing, but eeveelution has 5876 tags, is completely implicated with the eeveelutions, has a complete wiki page and is categorized as a general tag, eeveelutions has 120 tags, no implications and is categorized as species.

Ps: due some weird things affecting the site i can't do this alias through the normal methods, since the site just times me out when i try to.

+1. I find it strange that 120 posts managed to get tagged with that.

It does that for certain combinations of letters for some reason I haven't been able to identify. The only thing I can think of is either the entry gets corrupted when someone tries to suggest it, or it's made into a hash or something and is colliding (much less likely). I'm just guessing though.

I remember seeing that before, but I haven't had many chances to test it. Maybe it's because the source is a species tag and the destination is general..?

Also, plus one. The eeveelution tag is bad enough, we definitely don't need a plural.

Just to keep this Alias thread alive since this isn't listed at the alias official list.

Sorry for doing this.

Went ahead and approved it.

Also, it gave me the same error and refused to create the alias until I changed eeveelutions to be the same tag type category as eeveelution is [general category], and then it worked fine. I'll definitely be passing that bug on to the dev team. Hopefully they can get onto it and fix it, since it shouldn't be breaking for a reason like that.
