The bulk update request #9372 is pending approval.

Reason: aliases include clean up on unnecessary tags about hugging to a better tag, and merging tag equivalents into a consistent library of tags, which are the hugging_bodypart tags. although tail_hug will have to be aliased in a separate request.

implications for the action tags are describing. didn't add too many implications to err on the side of caution.

wing_hug is being used for posts where a character is hugging something with their wings, updating it to hugging_with_wings to be more clear and separate it from the other similar sounding bodypart_hug tags which serve a different purpose. an alias for wing_hug -> hugging_with_wings will have to be created later as it won't let me.

missed topic #45898 while creating this whole BUR, that is breast_hug -> hugging_breasts.

would anyone know why it wouldn't let me alias wing_hug -> hugging_with_wings? it said something about transitive relationships i think.

hugging during sex would be better off being aliased to hugging another, as done in topic #44824

Go to metasearch and spot anything that says active or pending
Everything should say deleted before you can alias with a BUR

oops, looks like i missed that post when searching 'hug' on here too.

I wonder if self_hug should have its alias direction reversed to hugging_self

Wouldn't autohugging make more sense? It would follow the similar naming scheme for performing actions on oneself as opposed to with another party like autofellatio instead of self_suck

There's quite a few heavily used self_* (and *_self) tags still, not sure if we want to use auto for everything. Also autofellatio has become part of the regular terminology, unlike self suck.

is a bit difficult. There are posts depicting a subject hugging a leg (own or others) and some depicting a subject hugging another by their legs (see below)

tail_hug has sort of the same thing going on too. even if we cleaned it up and aliased it i guess people might still improperly tag it, though idk if that's what happens when a tag like those get aliased.

so it seems disambiguation and a cleanup would be the best way to go about it these tags then, disambiguating can also at least help out a bit in cleaning up future posts with the tag. so for tail_hug the better tags are hugging_tail and tail_coil it seems. the tags for leg_hug would be hugging_leg and leg_wrap. there's also leglock and legs_around_partner, which are pretty much the same thing to leg_wrap just both being for sex, so i guess we can alias those to leg_wrap.

Good work on this!
