Could I get some aliases and implications added?

Posted under General

Aliases need to be approved (and there's generally a backlog)
direct links:

http://miezaru.donmai.us/tag_alias/add
http://miezaru.donmai.us/tag_implication/add

You can see the backlog on the list itself - the entries at the top are all unapproved, e.g. on the alias lists it is the section before you hit the ones starting with a '/'.

http://miezaru.donmai.us/tag_alias/index
http://miezaru.donmai.us/tag_implication/index

(remind me.. how do we add links in the forums again..?)

You can suggest new alias'/implications at the bottom of the listing page for each.

Those links really ought to be made much more prominent, IMO.

Damn, I thought there was a way, but couldn't find the link. Guess I never scrolled down quite far enough.

Aliases:
Wayu -> Mia
Elaice -> Ilyana
Bole -> Boyd
Kevin -> Kieran

I have to recommend against these, as they could create problems. Kevin especially.

Remember that if you alias something, that aliases it in *every* situation, even if it doesn't represent the picture accurately. Even if there is only one 'kevin' or 'wayu' now, that doesn't mean that will always be the case (Kevin especially), and so an alias would make EVERY Kevin into Kieran no matter what.

So I'd say it's a bad idea to alias single names to anything else.
