So I've been adding posts to the tag Sudden for a while now, and just recently discovered that there's another tag named That_Escalated_Quickly which is pretty much the exact same concept but communicates itself more effectively lol. I was wondering if there was a more efficient way of putting all the "sudden" posts into "that escalated quickly" and then cleaning them up once they're all in one place? I hope this is the right place to ask this.

Yes
An alias request would literally have one tag absorb the other (you could type either in the search but the server will just rewrite it into the dominant one)

Considering the vagueness of what exactly sudden means, using a BUR to mass update it to that_escalated_quickly is probably better.

Remind me real quick, are named meme/quote tags like that one supposed to be copyright category?

Generally speaking, yes, though there's arguably some exceptions, such as with a meme character such as Moushley.

Is it a meme? That wasn't clear from the tag, especially considering the vagueness of the term. Had it been Sudden_(meme), then it would be best in the Copyright category.

*And it has enough uses that I can't do the change myself
