Topic: "mat" (as in a floor covering) is set as an artist tag

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

"mat" (as in a floor covering) is currently set as an artist tag. There is a separate "mat_(artist)" tag with just the one post.
Should this be changed back to general?

The bulk update request #11309 is active.

change category mat (267) -> general

Reason: For some reason spe changed it on 2025-04-22.

Probably some side effect of topic #56595? Looks like mats was an artist tag prior to being aliased, I wonder if it actually was an artist tag or if that was also categorised wrong.

Either way, should definitely be changed back.

EDIT: The bulk update request #11309 (forum #452779) has been approved by @spe.

BURs credit the approver as the updater for tag type changes, so he "changed" it because he approved it
BURs really should have an option to just not carry down categories at all when approving them
