create alias sprite_art (352) -> pixel_(artwork) (16640)
create alias sprite_animation (66) -> pixel_animation (7296)

Reason: They appear to be used for the same thing. Don't know how to handle the Sprite tag though. Should there be a disambiguation tag?

Sprites aren't necessarily pixel art.
post #2723560

Sprite_art and sprite definitely should be merged though.

sprite is another word for certain types of faeries and pixies, so I think a disambiguation is warranted. "Sprite" as art/animation, though, doesn't necessarily mean pixel art; it can, but more generally refers to rendered 2D objects. Most pre-3D games were made using sprites, regardless of resolution.

Really the only mistags I saw were using it to refer to the soda. At most aliasing both sprite tags to sprite_(art) should be enough.

it's basically a wastebasket for the most ordinary pixel art, aliasing, and even anti-aliasing stuff that gives off the aura of being an asset used in the video games. i think aliasing all sprite tags to sprite (disambiguation) is a better choice.

So, would that be sprite (drink), sprite (soda), sprite (beverage), or sprite (coca-cola)/sprite (coke)/sprite (brand)? Hehe, I was assuming the first but it appears to be the second one. It also makes sense to be a copyright tag as we include trademarks in that category.
