After multiple cleanups, it's clear that chinese_lantern is a confusingly-named tag that invites misuse. The tag gets regularly used in place of paper lantern, especially for those of the collapsible type. Regular maintenance can help keep this problem from getting out of hand, but it isn't going to stop as long as the tag is named in a way that most people associate with the lantern rather than the flower. Multiple users I've messaged about incorrectly using this tag have responded with Google Images results full of actual lanterns, and it's hard to argue against that kind of evidence.
Wouldn't it make more sense to rename this tag to something less ambiguous like chinese_lantern_(flower) or physalis? Not as an alias, just a bulk rename like we did with straw, so anything that gets added back to the old tag will be easy to find and deal with.
