create alias blowing_bubble -> bubble_blowing
It shows up in the autocomplete, but we have a whole list of blowing_* tags and only one other *_blowing tag so I think a utility alias might be useful. Plus, I always end up typing the whole phrase and getting bothered by VerifyTagInput.

create alias bubble_blowing -> blowing_bubble
Alternatively, if people want to standardize it with the other tags.
We really should split this tag into blowing air/soap bubbles and blowing chewing gum.
If the second one goes through I’ll make blowing_bubble_gum and split the posts up. It can have a utility alias for chewing gum too.

Should note, even if you're only blowing one bubble the activity usually uses the plural bubbles. I thought something honestly sounded very off with "blowing bubble," and it's because it's singular. "Bubble blowing" is more common in usage than the singular "blowing bubble."

Yeah same. blowing bubbles would be better imo.

Sorry, didn't see these replies. Made it a separate BUR in case anyone has an odd objection.

deprecate blowing_bubbles
Ambiguous between different concepts of bubble blowing. Was going through the tag in order to separate chewing gum posts that involved blowing bubbles like bubblegum and feel it's probably better to deprecate it and clean it up into the types that fall under the tag.
The types of things found in there were primarily:
Blowing_bubble_gum
Blowing_air_bubbles (blowing bubbles on the surface of the water or underwater, though this could also be split between these two concepts as well)
Bubble making (traditional kids activity typiclaly using a bubble wand or hand. Probably needs a better name than that but said new name would preferrably recognise that you don't have to blow to create them.)
Other things I found in there were mouth bubble and nose bubble mistags but there might be other smaller concepts that'd require a tag like a handheld bubble machine
Not particularly fussed with the way these tags get split up but they shouldn't be together like this, deprecation is just one way of doing it. Feedback appreciated, especially on name suggestions for replacement tags

mass update favgroup:43793 -> blowing_bubble_gum -blowing_bubbles
What I was originally doing but I don't think it'd conflict if the deprecation BUR goes through. Would separate a large portion of the blowing bubbles tag into this new tag. Contains all instances of blowing_bubbles chewing_gum (or at least anything I didn't miss). At least 99.5% should be correct but I'll run through it again to correct any slips I made.
Should be noted that chewing_gum -blowing_bubbles also has a lot that would apply to blowing_bubble_gum
It's worth considering just aliasing blowing bubble gum to chewing gum. There would be a significant overlap otherwise, and while it's not exactly the same thing, it would be the exact same thing in 99.9% of the posts. If there's posts of people chewing bubble gum without blowing it, we should make a tag for that instead of ending up with two tags that are effectively for the same thing.
Didn't 100% agree with my own proposal for a deprecation BUR as I was writing it but figured I might as well pose the option.

Might be worth it. Unless someone else wants to do it (please
