Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions
The bulk update request #6223 is pending approval.
create alias date_pov (205) -> dating_pov (0)
create implication dating_pov (0) -> first_person_view (101940)
create implication dating_pov (0) -> dating (239)
mass update date -> dating
create alias date (1490) -> date_(disambiguation) (0)
Reason: New tag that needs some implications, along with an alias.
Date seems prone to mistagging, being mistaken for dated. I can see a number of clear mistags on the first page of results, so I'd prefer dating and dating_* instead. Date itself may be worth disambiguating.
I often find that when I'm tagging on mobile and I intend to add the dated tag, my phone's glide/swipe typing often changes it to dates. Normally I catch it before submitting the changes, but I just found one that I missed when tagging last week!
To prevent this typo in future, I was going to suggest making dates an invalid tag. But then I found this BUR, and now I think it's probably better to update this BUR to alias both date and dates to date_(disambiguation).
I don't think it's wise to mass update and alias the tag at the same time

Yeah, I'm guessing the BUR could process the alias before the mass update could occur.

with 1400 posts it will definitely process the alias before the update is complete, these need to be in separate BURs
