Tag alias: bug_catcher <-> bug_catcher_(pokemon)

I'd like to have both versions of that tag of Pokémon trainer class available, because...

  • I suppose nothing else would be called bug catcher, so it doesn't need a "(pokemon)" qualifier.
  • But according to the Danbooru naming conventions concerning Pokémon (see pokemon, list of pokemon characters), "Trainer classes and those without surnames should be suffixed *_(pokemon)."

-1
tag -> tag_(suffix) alias completely negates the point of having a suffixed tag in the first place. We use it when the base tag is ambiguous (or would be if we lumped both tags together). Aliasing does exactly that.

If it turns out that the base tag isn't ambiguous, we can edit (not alias, that tag has only 1 post) to the base tag.

I always assumed that absolutely all Pokémon trainer classes had a suffix just for our convenience. But when I searched for bug catcher (pokemon) yesterday, I did not find any, hence my request for alias.
