I'm feeling a bit called out here ;)

To add to the list, I know the character in my avatar is called Snowdrift for some reason. (They're a black pony, so this really doesn't make any sense, but *shrug*)

or snow, the object. then not only do people not know which character named snow, they don't even know if it's a character or frozen rain.

The suggestion is only to alias the character tag snow_(character), not the general tag snow. If you wanted to make the disambiguation clear that it's only for character's named snow, then it could be changed to snow_(character)_(disambiguation) or something similar. Or the wiki page for snow_(disambiguation) could simply state that is for the disambiguation of character tags only, not general tags.

Black snow, perhaps?
