"Frog button" alias

Posted under Tags

BUR #31184 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias frog_button -> pankou
create alias chinese_knot_button -> pankou

Context: The frog button is a 'braiding closure' usually found on Chinese clothing like the tangzhuang and China dress. But it is also found on Chinese-inspired clothing, such as in qi lolita, or other fusion fashions.

Here's a photo of some designs - they can be very elaborate: Wikipedia image

I'm suggesting that frog button is aliased to pankou (盤扣) to get rid of any ambiguity. Because I'd accidentally used this tag on a post where the character had frog-shaped buttons. (Since there's several novelty button tags -- cat buttons, flower buttons etc)

As for Chinese knot button, this is another name for the pankou -- and since Chinese knot is a popular tag, I figured that 'Chinese knot button' would be appropriate for people tagging/searching Chinese-themed clothing -- basically, since it's a literal term, people can figure out what it means by name alone.
