Aliasing head_in_cleavage → head_between_breasts
Link to alias

Reason:

head_between_breasts covers more possible situations

These tags mean practically the same thing, but situations like this:

post #1196471

can be covered with head_between_breasts but not head_in_cleavage...we should favor the more versatile tag. Plus head_between_breasts flows more naturally with the much larger between_breasts tag.

Also keep in mind that when a head is face-first between breasts breast_smother should be used. Both these tags need cleaning up in that regard, but it would be easier to watch one tag than to watch two.

EDIT: The tag alias head_in_cleavage -> head_between_breasts (forum #239606) has been approved by @Rainbow_Dash.

Actually, 'head_in_cleavage' is used in such way that I can't see which other possible situations it wouldn't cover if compared with 'head_between_breasts', indeed the variations of content type under both tags are practically non-existent. I would suggest simply inverting the alias due to the popularity of the first tag.

In cases like exemplified, the participation of multiple characters is considerably different from what is typically seen under both tags, in such way that it probably should be under a different tag. Perhaps 'breast_smother would work, since it already encompasses similar instances (e.g. post #1287780, post #725142, post #767663).
If the aforementioned tag isn't the most appropriate one, then a completely new tag would be necessary.

Note: Regardless of which tag is chosen as the main one, it should imply 'breasts'.

Neither tag is very popular. breast_smother has 69 entries and breast_smother has 27. Also you need to consider that most head_between_cleavage posts should actually be tagged as breast_smother instead.

Anyways, I don't think popularity really enters the equation here...when one is aliased to the other the popularity won't matter anymore...anyone using one will have it aliased to the other so...moot point?

It's so rare it doesn't deserve its own tag, especially when "head_between_breasts" describes the situation so perfectly.

"smothering" refers to cutting off air...a character has to be head-first in breasts for the breast_smother tag to be used, that is not the case in this image.

... Wait, what?

Those tags aren't mutually exclusive, so a image can perfectly involve both.

At alias discussions, how popular one tag is in comparation to the other commonly is considered a relevant factor.

I) Rarity isn't the only factor that influences this process, tag creation also is a common resource for sorting content.

II) A head between two breasts of the same pair is considerably different from a head between two (or more) pairs of breasts from different characters.

The simple fact of this phrase technically being applicable to both situations doesn't means that much; for example: 'hands_behind_head' is used when a character puts its own hands behind its head, but not for when a character puts its hands behind another character's head.

That is one of the reasons for me to have cogitated the use of a new tag instead.

Note 1: I chose those posts as examples because they already were under 'breast_smother'.

Note 2: In common speech 'smothering' is also used for when someone is closely surrounded and/or covered by something, rather than actual suffocation.

The numbers changed because I changed many of the posts to breast_smother when applicable.

If you wished to mix them then EVERY SINGLE BREAST SMOTHER IMAGE EVER should have both, and they don't. Earlier you appealed to popularity? Well in this case the people have spoken that they should not be mixed.

Or how about you go and try to make an implication for breast_smother -> head_between_breasts because that's an entirely different discussion over whether or not they should be mixed.

Maybe when the two tags have a large popularity disparity, but in that is not the case here, as I have said before. If two tags are roughly the same in popularity you shouldn't even bring it up because it's not a factor.

Great...then propose one...I noticed you haven't even tired to think up a name, better to just complain about how there should be a new tag than actually try to make one.

Whether or not the character is being literally smothered by the breasts is a useful delineation in this case because it usually implies the act is more extreme/forceful than simply resting your head between breasts, it's probably why the breast_smother tag is so much more popular than either of the tags we're discussing here.

Reread the excerpt in on your penultimate post, it makes no sense, looks like you mixed up the tags or something.

I just said those tags aren't mutually exclusive, in other words: there are some instance in which both tags are applicable.

e.g.post #1188371

I didn't meant that all the possible mistags you mentioned were irrelevant, also said nothing about implication (or anything similar) regarding this subject.

I considered it significant, because this disparity is proportionally big (~200% now and ~300% before you have made the changes).

Dyrone said:

I simply brought up the idea to see what were the opinions regarding the subject, before discussing a name.

If you really are so interested in seeing a name suggestion, the best thing I have thought to date is 'breast_sandwich'.

Many posts under 'breast_smother' don't show literal smothering.

p.s. I am not sure if understood you well.

¹ And what about the justifications I gave earlier about why those cases (two or more sets of breasts involved) should been kept separated?

Bump. head_in_cleavage should be aliased to head_between_breasts. That is because the tag cleavage currently has a distinct definition, that is, "partially clothed breasts", which head_in_cleavage currently does not follow. But even if the tag did follow the cleavage definition, it would still be a redundant tag, because searching for head_between_breasts cleavage would work perfectly fine.
