Aliasing krauti_mercedes → k.m.
Link to alias.

Reason:

k.m. is the abbreviation of krauti_mercedes, and is the tag that has been used for a while to denote that character

EDIT: The tag alias krauti_mercedes -> k.m. (forum #277318) has been rejected by @NotMeNotYou.

-1, we really shouldn't be using abbreviations for characters. There can be a whole slew of other K.Ms in the form of artists, characters, and whatnot.

-1, like siral listed

If "k.m." is already in use, then the alias should be reversed, where "k.m." tags on all posts are changed to "krauti_mercedes", but "k.m." is kept as an alias to "krauti_mercedes".

I think this thread should be officially rejected.

Agreed. The tag most frequently used for the character is k.m._(krautimercedes), so if anything, we should alias that to krauti_mercedes (which is still being used, though far less often on posts already tagged with the abbreviated form). About the only remnant of the old k.m. tag's use is that krautimercedes (no underscore) is aliased to it. Do we need some BURs to juggle these into a different arrangement?

BUR 1:

unalias krautimercedes -> k.m.
alias k.m._(krautimercedes) -> krauti_mercedes

BUR 2:

alias krautimercedes -> krauti_mercedes

The plain vanilla k.m. can be left alone afterwards due to its genericness.

The tag alias krauti_mercedes -> k.m. (forum #277318) has been rejected by @NotMeNotYou.

The bulk update request #6132 is active.

remove alias krautimercedes (0) -> k.m. (0)
create alias k.m._(krautimercedes) (3) -> krauti_mercedes (274)

Reason: As above.

Need to reject topic #34581 (which is also unpopular).
