Biting tags / titles

Should there be some kind of consistency between them when it comes to "bite/bitting"?

• assbiting
• ball_biting
• biting_lip
• bite_mark
• cheek_bite
• ear_biting
• finger_bite
• glove_bite
• hand_bite
• hat_bite
• head_bite
• nail_biting
• neck_bite
• nipple_bite
• penis_bite
• tail_bite
• thumb_biting

• bug_bite
• mosquito_bite

I'd say leave bite_mark as it is, alias everything else in the first group to its *_bite counterpart, and alias bug_bite to mosquito_bite.

I think bug_bite is better for being more general, mosquitos aren't the only bugs that can cause a mark from biting. Without a mosquito present, they'll all look a like anyway and we're only assuming where the mark came from.

Should all of the action ones have "ing" at the end of it?

assbiting needs to be ass_biting.

Unicogirl has a point. Danbooru's policy has been towards aliasing actions to gerund (-ing) tags.

Thus tags with biting would cover images featuring acts of biting, while tags with bite would cover images featuring bite marks.

Also, +1 to a mosquito_bite → bug_bite alias (or implication).

That seems understandable. We can just alias all tags to *_biting tags, bitemark -> bite_mark, and bite -> biting as the mother tag, although it seems like a lot of work and database space to set that all up.

Agreed as an implication.

I'd rather alias mosquito_bite to bug_bite than implicate, since they all look the same.

Aliased mosquito_bite -> bug_bite
Aliased bitemark -> bite_mark

As for the rest, I think we need to differentiate between which are depicting a wound (like bug_bite) and which are depicting an action, as others have said. Looking at the list... I'd say they're all _biting besides bug and of course bite_mark, which could cover the depiction of the wound when it accompanies any of the _biting tags.

So, done.

There are a number of biting_* tags as opposed to *_biting. The latter seems to dominate, and the only alias we have going in the direction of the former is the one for biting_testicles (though actually only from ball bit(e/ing) and not testicle biting). Any opinions on which way to alias these?
