BUR #46374 has been approved by @evazion.
create alias jewish -> judaism
create alias muslim -> islam
Consistency BUR. Literally every other religion primarily uses a tag that's the name of the religion (Christianity, Shinto, Buddhism, etc) instead of a tag that's the term for its practitioners ("Christian", "Shintoist", "Buddhist") except these two for whatever reason.
Related, forum #141625
As for the Jewish tag, I think the current usage applies to both Judaism and depictions of Jewish ethnicity. Indifferent for the first line.
Perhaps muslim should be cleaned up because it was haphazardly used just because the characters wear hijab or Arabic-looking clothing without clear reference to Islam itself.

The current names of both the tags certainly lend themselves to being used when a character looks Jewish/Muslim rather than as a tag for the religion itself, which is all the more reason for this BUR to go through. I'd imagine if the Christianity tag was "Christian", then it would be placed on any image that had someone wearing a cross necklace, rather than being used for depictions of the religion itself.
Both Jewish and Muslim certainly need gardening, but it would work a lot better after this BUR goes through so the wikis can be changed at the same time, and so users who don't read the forum don't re-add the tags and require them to be gardened again.
BUR #46746 has been rejected.
deprecate jewish
deprecate muslim
Alternate version here, simply stopping people from adding more to these tags while they're cleaned out. This would save us having to go through Judaism and Islam and clean out a bunch of trash after the BUR goes through.
