Topic: Do we need both "cloth" and "fabric"? [Now with BUR!]

We have tags for both cloth and fabric, neither of which have wiki descriptions. Is there a meaningful difference between them?

This is probably a question that should have been asked in the Discord and not in several threads.

No, I think it's important that these questions are preserved as reference points in the future. There are a lot of times I've asked questions that turn out to have been discussed months or years ago.

Yeah that's a good mindset. Sometimes it might be better to ask on discord to find a starting point, and use that to make a BUR and decide the direction of the alias

The bulk update request #12294 is pending approval.

create alias fabric (523) -> cloth (1759)

Reason: It's been a week with no discussion, so I'm moving to a formal request. I see no difference between these two, so I'm aliasing the lesser-used to the more-used one.
