The tag alias #78396 tube_feeding -> feeding_tube is pending approval.

Reason: Some posts may include a feeding_tube but may not involve tube_feeding. All posts that contain tube_feeding will involve feeding_tube.

Edit: posted to implication suggestion (was not aware of the existence of implications)

Hm. If feeding_tube and tube_feeding actually aren't synonymous, then an alias wouldn't work. :\ An implication might since you'd need to see a feeding tube in order to know that tube feeding was happening, but if they're not the same thing, then an alias isn't in order.

Still, it gets the discussion rolling, so no harm, no foul.

All posts that contain tube_feeding will involve feeding_tube.

but not all posts that contain feeding_tube will contain tube_feeding

I think an implication would be better.

Just read up on implications, then that would make sense. I was not aware of the distinction between the two.

I agree with this

Then an implication makes more sense
