Letter of the day is A
New autocomplete should cover these.

all alternate_* tags have an alternative_* utility alias - I am not sure whether it's useful or not but I won't include it in this BUR. The only exception is alternative_hair_style because alternative_hairstyle exists.
I will also leave plural tags (eg. angels -> angel) alone, because their purpose is probably to stop users from making new plural tags when singular tags exist.
prof_juniper exists already, so it doesn't make sense to have prof._juniper.

Arm band can be useful if you type band looking for the right type of band. Analingus is a common misspelling and might be good to keep. I think FGO is fine because it's a common enough abbreviation that people might search for it and it's not likely to become outdated or conflict with anything else.

I don't agree with some of these, a few feel like they would actually be worse for autocomplete including some that aren't in conflict with other tags but rather just convenient redirects for other spellings/misunderstood versions of a tag name (e.g. people might not normally type "band-aid" with a hyphen). This should really be split up into multiple BURs.

I don't understand why a bunch of these BURs went through so fast that people didn't even have time to really discuss them. Arm_band -> armband already got mentioned but got approved anyway, bandaid_on_* tags are usually singular, so it's not unreasonable that someone would try to type bandaid_on_nipple instead of bandaids_on_nipples. Aliases like band_aid -> bandaid, bare_foot -> barefoot have utility for me and I'm sure other people as well. Some of these BURs don't give an explanation for how these aliases get in the way of current autocomplete either.

While I agree that some of these aliases are useful to have, having an alias for every kind of spelling or misspelling for a tag is overkill, which is presumably why these BURs are being made.

For example bare_foot -> barefoot should absolutely not be removed since all the other bare tags use bare_* instead.

This seems missing to me as well, I don't see much explanation given for these.

Fully agree with what Nyom has said.
