Unaliasing Tank Top Lift

Posted under Tags

BUR #36809 has been rejected.

remove alias tank_top_lift -> shirt_lift

None of the other lifts are aliased to shirt_lift. None of the other clothes under shirt in tag group:attire are aliased to shirt. Camisole is not aliased to shirt; crop top is not aliased to shirt; tank top is not aliased to shirt. Somehow only tank_top_lift is aliased to shirt_lift.

BUR #37007 has been rejected.

mass update tank_top shirt_lift -> tank_top_lift -shirt_lift

If the unalias goes through, I think we can safely do this mass update. I've gone through tank_top shirt_lift -solo to find instances where the shirt is the one being lifted instead of the tank top and added it to favgroup #40639, so cleaning this would be a quick manual effort. I might have missed some but it shouldn't be more than a handful if people are to stumble across it.

A tank top is a sleeveless shirt. I don't think we need specific subtags for the type of shirt being lifted, it just makes searching for general shirt lift more annoying without serving any purpose other than satisfying the autism of builders.

If you want to go into semantics, then a tube top is a strapless shirt and we should get rid of tube top lift too

100% agree. If you google "tank top" and "sleeveless shirt", the results are identical. By furthering tank top specific tags, we are creating a distinction that does not exist in the real world.

If anyone's interested, I made a BUR about a month ago to alias color_tank_top and the like to color_shirt in topic #30232. It's about to expire, but the more votes the better.

BUR #37502 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

remove alias tank_top_lift -> shirt_lift
deprecate tank_top_lift

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I hate tagging tank_top and it autocompletes to shirt_lift first. This is my main reason for this BUR, but maybe nobody else finds it annoying.

No, you're right; this is a good reason to remove the alias. However, in line with the BUR I linked above, I think it should be deprecated rather than populated.

I will point out that, in the same topic that aliased crop top lift to shirt lift, it was proposed to have all three of those tags imply shirt, per forum #176988, with crop top removed after due to crop top overhang's tagging situation.
