Topic: Tag correction (RIP)

The bulk update request #12429 is pending approval.

create alias r.i.p. (13) -> rest_in_peace (9)
create alias rip (190) -> ripping (608)
create alias in_memoriam (124) -> rest_in_peace (9)

Reason: As BleakDragoon suggested, because this kind of tag is a mess in topic #60041.
Same meaning: rip -> ripping

I think r.i.p should be pretty unambiguously referring to 'rest in peace' rather than a tear or the act of ripping.

I edited the alias request because both tags mean the same: rip -> ripping

Aliasing rip to ripping defeats the purpose of having a disambiguation tag imo. When I proposed it, my intend was to disambiguate rip = rest in peace an rip = ripping.

Personally I prefer with rip_(disambiguation) , but if collectively we say rip will never be confuse with rest_in_peace, then It think it should look like:

create alias r.i.p. -> rest_in_peace
create alias rip -> ripping
create alias in_memoriam -> rest_in_peace

Edited as you suggested.

I think rip kinda does need a disambiguation. Scrolling through ~100 thumbnails, there were six that should be r.i.p, around ten that were pretty clearly pre-ripped (ie. not in the act of ripping), and a couple from an artist r!p. That's a pretty high rate of error, and for a low-volume tag like this, disambiguation should be onerous to fix.
