Link to request

These are just a bunch of unrelated tags and their apparent duplicates I've been seeing over the last few weeks. It made more sense to combine them into a single update request rather than create individual forum topics for each one. In each case, these aliases are from the tag with lower post count to the higher one. I'm open to amending this request if it turns out that any of these aliases are a bad idea, so please leave feedback.

Specific notes:

  • I was unsure of which way to go with post-it, since it's a highly recognizable brand name and we lack a consistent policy about using trademarks as tags (cf. bandaid and speedo). Sticky note is better populated, though.
  • Shirt only could probably be aliased to naked shirt instead, but this would result in the mistagging of posts with underwear, like post #2482969. Also, this is consistent with the existing thighhighs only -> thighhighs alias.
  • Tissue wads is already aliased to used tissue, but the singular tissue wad was never dealt with.
  • The wiki for drying states that the tag is for characters drying their bodies, but the name of the tag itself leaves it unclear what is being dried, so it ends up getting used in places like post #2646681. Should we instead call it something else, like drying self?

The bulk update request #1213 has been approved.

Updated by DanbooruBot

Created drying body because there are some posts where someone else is being dried (like post #602359) and drying self wouldn't be adequate. Some may prefer separate tags for drying face or drying hands, but I don't think those would be particularly useful at this time. I also rewrote drying's wiki since in practice it was being used as an umbrella tag anyway, and simply cleaning it up probably wouldn't work in the long run due to its vague name.

With this in mind, I've added a few implications to the update request. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
