alias pitcher -> jug

Posted under Tags

BUR #13864 has been rejected.

create alias pitcher -> jug
remove alias pitcher -> jug
create alias pitcher_(container) -> jug

pitcher = 585, jug = 554

I'm not sure what the difference between these two tags is. They have nearly identical wikis and Wikipedia says that "pitcher" is just the North American word for "jug".

The alias is this direction because it seems like jug is the more common term and pitcher is occasionally confused with pitching.
I'm not sure if qualifying pitcher is necessary because it's just going to be aliased after, but the term is fairly ambiguous so I've added it in.

Edit: Updated based off KagayakuShiningGate's idea.

I don't feel strongly about the rest of the BUR, but I'd rather format it like this:

alias pitcher -> jug
unalias pitcher -> jug
alias pitcher_(container) -> jug

Your current one pointlessly moves the pitcher posts twice.

They are definitely different things. A 'jug' is a large bottle (like the plastic gallon jugs used for milk or the older glass gallon jugs used for cider or fruit juice). There appears to be a lot of mistagging right now, but post #4657026 or post #2931700 are good examples.

A pitcher is a large open mouthed container for pouring drinks, but it's a dish itself, not something you'd buy something in from the store. post #2625448 or post #1801140 are good examples. The Kool-Aid Man (post #113823) is a walking talking pitcher.

Most of what I see in jug right now *are* pitchers, but they don't belong where they are, so there's cleanup to be made, but the words don't refer to the same thing at all (at least at I've seen them used, in admittedly North American English). The Wikipedia entry looks very wrong to me though so British English may differ from what I know.

BUR #13867 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias pitcher -> pitcher_(container)
remove alias pitcher -> pitcher_(container)
create alias jug -> jug_(bottle)
remove alias jug -> jug_(bottle)

+ Change tag wikis to differentiate the tags and specify milk_jug can be used for any beverage.

Alternate BUR for if we want to try to keep these tags separate
I know that milk_jug is a bad name, but I can't think of anything better. Suggestions are welcome.

Edit: I've changed it to jug_(bottle), which is a bit better.

Someone needs to do some really heavy cleaning with these tags. Also, if the issue is with jug, why add a qualifier to pitcher? It's not like "container" clarifies anything, bottles are containers too. I think just qualifying jug should be sufficient.

I probably won't spend too much time cleaning these tags, but the BUR should curb future mistags.

Pitcher should be qualified because it is occasionally confused with the baseball term.

While it's still a pitcher if it has a spout, for Danbooru tagging, it seems to only be a pitcher when you pour through a lip at the rim and not a spout. Situationally it would be a jug though
