mass update chinese_new_year -> lunar_new_year
Lunar New Year is a more generic term that covers similar holidays in other non-Japan East Asian countries. I prefer a bulk rename per title but an alias is also fine.

A rename would have no effect here, because there's no posts under lunar new year. Aliases are the only way to make sure that someone typing "lunar new year" will get "chinese new year" in the autocomplete. See help:bulk update requests.
There are other types of lunar new years that have nothing to do with the Chinese New Year, although I guess there is not a single post anywhere about them.
With how similar the motifs are between cultures (paper lanterns, red themes, fireworks, red and gold, talismans, etc.), I think I'd prefer if the alias were reversed and the tag were lunar new year. There are other tags for things that distinguish a LNY celebration as being more one culture vs. another, e.g., kadomatsu.
I'd prefer the reverse as well but I didn't want to stir the pot too much. Utility alias is OK too.

I only read half of the wiki when I made the request apparently.
mass update chinese_new_year -> lunar_new_year
should be the most appropriate here I think.

mass update chinese_new_year -> lunar_new_year
create implication chinese_new_year -> lunar_new_year
This should do. The implication would not work due to the 0.1% rule. Self-rejected.

I also edited the original BUR since I did not know it is a thing. Sorry for the mess.
Mass updating lunar new year in the edited BUR will be pointless because:

IMO I'd roll with the chinese new year -> lunar new year alias.
Changed to downvote because the new BUR is stupid and does nothing.

Alright, alright. Reverting the BUR.
Edit: Wait, is it due to me doing the edit at 3 A.M. and did not realise that only replacing a word is wrong? Oh god...

I don't know how you think a mass update is the best thing to do here.
It should be an alias, just as NNT said.
Changing my vote into a downvote too, as long as it's not an alias.
It should either be an alias from cny to lny or from lny to cny depending on how we want to name it. Making it a mass update from lny to cny does nothing (lny is empty) and from cny to lny just makes every cny post have two tags with 100% overlap (not useful).
The initial utility alias from lny to cny was fine. Aliasing cny to lny might be more controversial though it would be better IMO.

create alias chinese_new_year -> lunar_new_year
Just gonna submit the two different aliases for voting. Next time please don't edit BURs after people have voted on them, otherwise nobody can tell what's going on.
Updated

Understandable... although if BURs were not meant to be editable once votes have been made then why is it not the case? Could I do a feature request for this?
Sometimes there are minor issues that need to be fixed but the point of the BUR remains. Changing the BUR to something completely different is a different story.

I (just vaguely, hopefully fully over time) get it now... I have to admit I am not a kind of person who take time to understand the rules first and then follow them. It had already screwed me various times in my real life but I could not (and do not know how to) fix it myself...
