The tag alias #63988 four -> four_(disambiguation) has been rejected.

Reason: "four" is ambiguous, send to disambiguation.

Also: Set the category of four_(disambiguation) to invalid tag.

EDIT: The tag alias four -> four_(disambiguation) (forum #376617) has been rejected by @Rainbow_Dash.

I was going to argue it should be invalidated like the rest, not disambiguated. My line of reasoning is that it doesn't have multiple meanings, but is instead incomplete

But it seems that of the number tags:
zero is a character
one is a copyright
two is a general tag
three is aliased to invalid_tag
four is general and the subject of this discussion
five is general and doesn't have any current posts
six is a character
seven is a character
eight is an artist
nine is a character
ten is an artist

Maybe they should all get moved to invalid category instead. Rainbow dash abhors disambiguations and this one doesn't seem necessary, so a category change is better.

The bulk update request #5559 is active.

create alias zero (3) -> 0 (0)
create alias one (5) -> 1 (0)
create alias two (3) -> 2 (1)
remove alias three (1) -> invalid_tag (1)
create alias five (0) -> 5 (0)
create alias six (0) -> 6 (0)
create alias seven (2) -> 7 (0)
create alias eight (2) -> 8 (0)
create alias nine (3) -> 9 (0)

Reason: The numbers are already in the invalid category, so it would probably just be the easiest solution to just alias the words to the number. Cleanup will be easier if there's not multiple invalid tags meaning the same thing.

I almost always prefer invalid category over aliasing to invalid_tag because you can actually figure out what went wrong.

Second part

alias three -> 3

This request is also blocking me from being able to add this to the BUR

alias four -> 4

Oh wait, i didn't check those. Yeah that makes sense.

Sure, I'm good with aliasing to numbers and making them invalid tags.

Should we go through them and add _(character) and/or _(artist) to the tags on the posts? It would empty the tags for the actual numbers.

Edit: one of the Zero posts was both tagged zero and zer0sanguine (who is a character named zero), and an other was tagged zero and fail_zero (also a character named zero). It seems like an easy tag to clean up.

Ironically, I just today came across the character tag 12. Unlike any of these, it actually seems to be a well-organised collection of a single character, for the most part. It does have post #329975 in it, though. I wonder where the cutoff where purely numeric tags start becoming reliable is?

Numbers between 1500 up to this year are consistent in the way they are used as meta tags for years.

If 0 to 10 should be used for the actual numbers, then maybe tags like 1980, 2010 or 2023 should refer to the number too, and the meta tag moved to 1980_(year), 2010_(year), 2023_(year)
