Topic: Disambiguate 'Swear'

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #10200 is pending approval.

create alias swear (0) -> swear_(disambiguation) (0)
change category swear_(disambiguation) (0) -> invalid

Reason: Looking at the tag history, the overwhelming amount of times this tag is a misspelling of sweat. I was going to request an alias to 'sweat', but I realized that may be a bad idea.
Changed to disambiguation instead of invalidation.

A disambiguation may be better. On its own, it would seem weird to see swear as an Invalid tag, since it's just another word for profanity and could be aliased to that. That the tag also has a lot of uses as a misspelling of sweat could be clarified in a disambiguation tag.

Swear could hypothetically also mean oath. That's not a tag that sees any use, so it's probably not a big deal, but I think it's worth considering.
