Miko rename

Posted under Tags

BUR #40829 is pending approval.

create alias miko -> traditional_miko
remove alias miko -> traditional_miko
deprecate miko

The way miko tags are SUCK and should have been changed ages ago.
Miko as a tag is horrendously prone to misuse, as already complained here and likely many times before it, the naming convention doesn't do it any favors either.

Your average tagger is well-known to be lazy and/or stupid and deadly allergic to reading wiki pages; even in the rare off-chance that one would read one, the most numerous nontraditional miko by tag count has a wiki page written like this, which is honestly just self-inflicted griefing.

Thus, to eliminate existing tag ambiguity and guessing, miko should be renamed to traditional miko and then empty miko deprecated, leaving us with nontraditional and traditional miko, which should eliminate the vast majority of misuse.

Tag is too big to use rename so using (un)alias instead.

Yeah this is one of those cases where nontraditional cases outnumber the traditional cases, so the traditional miko tag should've been qualified a while ago. We don't have it as "nontraditional bowtie" and "bowtie", its bowtie and traditional bowtie.

Wait, for consistencies' sake, wouldn't it make more sense to alias nontraditional miko to miko then? It's not a big enough deal for me to make a fuss over, but I like consistency lol. I do think switching the current miko to traditional miko makes more sense overall.
