The bulk update request #11081 is pending approval.

create alias lats (1) -> lats_(disambiguation) (0)
change category lats_(disambiguation) (0) -> invalid
create alias lats_(muscle) (57) -> latissimus_dorsi (275)

Reason: I found an lats tag that had 4 posts and it seemed like some posts were about the muscle and a single one about an character seemingly called "Lats" (post #272813, can't check tho because furaffinity is down for me). Also it seems that there are two more tags about the muscle so I changed the other 3 posts.

So I'm proposing this disambiguation. It will probably need to create an lats_(character) for the character but I wanted to check if this is controversial before making this change.

About the name of the muscle tag, either direction of the alias would be fine by me. I chose latissimus_dorsi for the BUR only because it has more posts on it.

If approved, I'll create a wiki page and update the muscles wiki to mention it.

The latissimus dorsi are the big flat muscles in the mid-back that stretch to the sides and up towards the armpit. Is it even worth keeping this tag? We've chucked out overspecific muscle tags before. To be fair, we did keep muscle tags that were deemed useful.

I don't think so. I doubt most people even know that it's a muscle, let alone which muscle. At best maybe a back_muscles tag, but the more obscure specific ones like this seem too obscure for people to reliably use.

i don't know, there's a lot of very specific tags for muscles but lats I think its one of the popular expressions together with pecs and biceps that its easier to identify because it gives that triangle shape on very muscular guys

With that in mind, I'm not opposed to everything getting aliased to back_muscles to simplify the tags. Or using lats_(muscle) as the tag target if the name is more popular informally.
