Topic: Tag BUR: K-9 Update & Disambiguation

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #12342 is pending approval.

mass update k-9 -> k-9_(artist)
change category k-9_(artist) (0) -> artist
remove alias k9 (0) -> canine (1490588)

Reason: 'K9' or 'K-9' is a common abbreviation for police dogs or canines.
I'm surprised that while k9 has already been aliased away to canine, k-9 still remains as an active artist tag.

Consider to either alias k-9 to canine as well, or disambiguating both k9 & k-9 since there are also a few character tags under the two names.

Part 2 BUR:

alias k-9 -> canine

or

alias k9 -> k9_(disambiguation)
alias k-9 -> k9_(disambiguation)

I think a disambiguation would be best, and realias k9 to that. I can think of five possible K-9s off the top of my head (canine, this artist, and three characters) and that's obviously not all of them.

There is also a k9_(artist), but they only have one post here so far.

I will include the unaliasing into the BUR. In case anybody is against the idea, please include or change your vote.
