septum_piercing != nose_ring

BUR #24763 has been rejected.

remove alias septum_piercing -> nose_ring

Septum piercing refer to the placement of the piercing, not the type of jewelry used. One of the most common types of septum piercing is the horseshoe or circular barbell

Septum piercing but not nose ring: post #7351857, post #3831415
Nose ring but not septum piercing: post #7365940, post #6374682
Nose ring and septum piercing: post #6663968, post #7149358

This bulk update request is pending automatic rejection in 5 days.

In addition, we could use something like nostril piercing for things like post #6374682 and post #7365940, if this is not already clear enough.

This bulk update request has been rejected because it was not approved within 45 days.

The bulk update request #24763 (forum #274711) has been rejected by @DanbooruBot.

From topic #21958 where this alias was introduced:

I scrolled through a fair few pages of Google results and couldn't find any septum piercings that weren't also nose rings

The very first image that pops up when you search "septum piercing" is a horseshoe barbell and not a nose ring.
This seems like a no-brainer to me.

That post was tagged as nose ring even before the alias.

I don't think we'll have much luck in trying to distinguish between open and closed nose rings. If you google "septum ring" you'll find plenty of examples that by your definition should not be tagged as nose rings.

If you google "nipple ring" the first result is a nipple bar, that doesn't mean they're the same thing.
I agree that trying to distinguish every instance of an open or closed nose ring would be fruitless.
I'm much more interested in distinguishing between septum piercings and other types of nose piercing.

Let's take a step back and look at tag group:piercings. For piercing tags, we're looking at location, not type of jewelry, as its distinguishing trait. We already have nose piercing, so why do we need nose ring? A septum piercing is one of the most common types of piercing. It deserves to have its own tag. We can't just reverse the alias because stuff like post #7365940 would end up mistagged. Hence my suggestion.

tldr I think we need a septum piercing tag, I don't care about nose ring.

BUR #26554 is pending approval.

remove alias septum_piercing -> nose_ring
deprecate nose_ring
mass update favgroup:32476 -> septum_piercing
mass update favgroup:32477 -> nostril_pirercing

Here is a more precise BUR that illustrates my point better.
nose ring started as a tag for septum piercings but it's being used for stuff like post #7365940.
I don't think we need a tag specifically for ring-shaped nose piercings.
If this is approved I will go through nose ring and retag everything.

I just noticed nose_bridge_piercing getting added to a bunch of my posts that are already tagged bridge_piercing. Unless I'm missing something, it seems to me these are duplicate tags?

They are duplicates, good catch. Normally I would make a BUR but I think I added 99% of the posts in nose bridge piercing are me (there might have been 10 or so before I started looking) so I'm just gonna move them.
