Topic: Invalidate chill OR alias chill -> relaxing?

Maybe better to disambiguate because it could refer to either relaxing or to cold/shivering?

category -> invalid is effectively a soft disambiguation. But this is why I chose that instead of aliasing to invalid_tag, yes. The wiki page can be updated with any additional tags you feel are applicable.

Wait sorry, you're totally right haha. I misread the original post as aliasing to invalid_tag. +1 :)

It does look like this is used almost exclusively for relaxing, I'm hardly seeing anything that doesn't fit that. None of them have to do with cold

Would you prefer an alias to relaxing, then?

I think I would prefer that, personally. Maybe put it to a vote. But if a tag is mostly referring to one thing, occasional mistags are not a big deal because they can be fixed, and it’s better that than having a disambiguation tag that someone has to manually upkeep.

Looking at the current uses of chill as a tag, less than half of them could reasonably be tagged relaxing. I think the initial BUR makes more sense in this case.

With regards to chilling, I'd be perhaps a little concerned people might be occasionally using it for things they consider spine-chilling, but can't think of a good way to actually check that with the current alias in place.

Maybe this should get the disambiguation treatment. Chill is a rather broad word in uses.
