Request to alias brownie -> chocolate_brownie

The bulk update request #8874 has been rejected.

create alias brownie -> chocolate_brownie

The “brownie” tag has linked to “chocolate_brownie” for about 6 years according to this page: https://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki_pages?search%5Blinked_to%5D=chocolate_brownie

For this entire period that same “brownie” tag had zero entries until I added three today. “chocolate brownie” does not come up in the tagging interface when trying to type brownie, so it is difficult to discover the other tag without checking the wiki page. The additional tag is redundant. All brownies are by definition chocolate. One should alias the other, it doesn’t really matter which.

There are several characters called Brownie, so this would be an ambiguous alias. I'd suggest aliasing chocolate_brownie to brownie_(food) instead.

Good point. Agreed that would be ideal.

You obviously never had a blonde brownie.

A Blondie if you will.

The brownie wiki will probably have to be updated a bit if yours goes through.

My understanding was that blondies are a related food item that is distinct from brownies, but I admit to not being a brownie expert.

Same cooking method, just with vanilla instead of chocolate. Granted, chocolate is far more ubiquitous, which is why blondies are often called "blonde" brownies to get the point across. It's good, you should try one.

Haha sure, I’ll put it on my bucket list.
