The bulk update request #11458 is pending approval.

create alias dipstick_fingers (728) -> fingerless_(marking) (10253)
create alias dipstick_toes (424) -> toeless_(marking) (6372)

Reason: Since dipstick_fingers and dipstick_toes are referring same markings as fingerless_(marking) and toeless_(marking) for each now, they should be an alias to them.
As dipstick_hands and dipstick_feet is aliased to gloves_(marking) and socks_(marking) each, they should be the alias not reverse.
If they are not referring same markings, its meaning should be changed to only end portion of fingers/toes are different from other portion of fingers/toes, while fingerless and toeless refers entire fingers/toes are different from hands/foot.

dipstick_<digits> are for when the tips of the digits are a different colour, <digit>less_(marking) is for when the digits are a different colour than the rest of the hand.

This is practically my reason but I couldn't manage to articulate it, a dipstick tail for example could be 20 different colors as long as the tip is a singular color
