Topic: Tag Alias: pom_poms -> pom_pom

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

I'm thinking not a good idea, it's just mixing too many things:

  • pom_poms is used exclusively for the cheerleader type of "pom-poms" that come in sets. And it looks like it stays very clean and is being used just for that with no mixed use.
  • The moogle antenna pom is probably better tagged with pom_antenna.
  • And there's two different characters named "pom pom" that have been disambiguated, you can see them here . They still get tagged with pom_pom sometimes.
  • And we have pom_hat for when it's one of those pom thingies on the end of a hat (santa hats, classic knitted caps, etc), and pom_clothing when it's elsewhere. Apparently these things in clothing go by a few other nicknames including "pompom/pompon", "bobbles" and "toories", but thankfully that doesn't seem to be causing any duplicate tags here so far.

So yeah, I'm going to deny this alias. It looks like there's far better tags for each of these things. Pom_pom, (the one you wanted to alias to) was mostly empty but had a few of all of the above uses in it so it's not good to alias it to any of them. I don't know if it would be worth turning pom_pom into a disambiguation page to help direct people to the rest of these or not? It looks like all of these pom_pom/pom-pom/pompom/pom-poms/pompon (unused variations of the word) have been used a few times in the past but are currently empty, and it would give a place to alias them all to, keep it from staying scattered. It's a thought.
