Usage of Gaping

At the moment, the gaping tag wiki states that it should be used for

An anus or pussy that stays open by itself, typically after sexual intercourse.

Be careful not to confuse this with invisible penis + a spread pussy or anus, which has the same visual effect of the orifice being spread open for no apparent reason. However, that occurs during sex, whereas this tag is for afterwards.

As far as i know, the practice of spreading the inside of an orifice through the use of fingers/tentacles/whatever is called "gaping" (post #4254995, post #4373495 are the only examples i can find at the moment). However, as of now there's not really a way to find it easily.
Gaping requires the orifice to stay open by themselves, and spread_pussy/anus is almost exclusively used for the spread of the outer lips/asscheeks.

I'd suggest converting gaping to something like unassisted gaping, but it may be too rough a change since the tag is quite old.

BUR #4952 has been rejected.

create alias gaping -> unassisted_gaping

If this BUR passes, a second BUR will be made, where gaping_(unassisted) will be aliased to unassisted_gaping, and gaping_(assisted) will be aliased to assisted_gaping. I'm not particularly a fan of this nomenclature since it doesn't use "assisted" like the other assisted_* tags. I can't think of a better name though.

Alternatively, change the usage of gaping so that it includes the aforementioned cases.
