BUR #44042 has been rejected.
rename dark_cloud -> dark_cloud_(game)
create alias dark_clouds -> dark_cloud
create alias black_cloud -> dark_cloud
There are four relevant tags:
I think dark_clouds should be aliased to dark_cloud, to be in line with the singular cloud and the many other singular tags. The tag should apply even if there is only a single dark cloud.
However, this clashes with an existing tag dark_cloud, which is a copyright tag for Dark Cloud, a 2000/2001 video game for the PS2, so before we alias dark_clouds to dark_cloud, we have to rename dark_cloud to dark_cloud_(game) (similar to arms_(game), where a concept is also the name for a copyright).
In addition to this, there is a lesser used black_cloud tag that has around 100 posts versus dark_clouds with around 900 posts. I think it is unnecessary to have separate tags here. There are dark clouds which are not black in black_cloud anyway, and until recently there was no wiki to clarify when it would actually be used.
To me at least, black cloud is just a way of saying dark clouds, even if they are only dark grey. I think that is probably why black_cloud began being used rather than people wanting to specifically tag truly black clouds.
I will create a separate BUR for only the singular tag and game series rename beneath this in case we think there is utility to keeping black_cloud.
Edit:
Perhaps someone more knowledge of BURs can help me out here. Will dark_cloud remain a copytag after a rename away from that? I intended dark_cloud to become a gentag of course.
