The tag alias #46096 aurora_borealis -> aurora_(phenomenon) has been approved.

Reason: Under TagWhatYouSee usually no way to tell if aurora in art are northern lights (aurora_borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis).
( related thread: https://e621.net/forum_topics/12435 )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora says
"An aurora (plural: auroras or aurorae), sometimes referred to as polar lights, northern lights (aurora borealis), or southern lights (aurora australis) ..."

may be better tag then polar_lights, because there is artist tag polarlights (which aliases to northfelle)

Other aurora tags:

• auroraborealia (post deleted as duplicate of post #730604 , no polar lights seen in 730604 post so one character possibly named Aurora. Aurora Borealia???)
• aurora-lights (post deleted as duplicate of post #362405 which is not tagged with an aurora tag)
• EDIT: and aura_borealis, from looking at the art both posts seem to depict polar lights (aka aurora).

(and there is a furry with FA username auroralights .... character tagged as aurora_(auroralights))

EDIT : if aurora_borealis aliases to another tag, would need to update alias of northern_lights -> aurora_borealis ( https://e621.net/tag_aliases/3044 , with apparently no associated forum thread)

That's weird, somehow this thread got put in Category General. *moves to "Tag Alias ... Suggestions" category.

EDIT: Thank you MagnusEffect for noticing forum link error, have corrected forum link at top.
