Regarding the "chemical structure" tag

BUR #15557 has been rejected.

nuke chemical_structure

The chemical structure tag is too vague. It seems like this tag is supposed to mean a structural formula(Wikipedia), which is a structural diagram of a chemical used in chemistry. However, it seems like this tag is mostly being used for Agnes Tachyon and Hakui Koyori's hexagon hair ornaments, rather than its actual meaning. I've added a new structural_formula tag with the precise definition according to Wikipedia and updated the posts tagged chemical structure that actually include a structural formula.

deprecate chemical_structure

let's deprecate it so it doesnt get retagged

Tachyon's earring actually has lines running inside the hexagon part indicating it's a benzene ring. The official art (e.g. post #3076190) unambiguously depicts it as a chemical structure in line angle format, with the actual chemical likely being indane. This a reference to indene derivative chemicals, which usually have indane as part of the their chemical structure and are used to make materials with novel optical properties, making a further reference to Tachyon's name and her namesake FTL particle.

It's not always drawn clearly enough to be identified though. It is also sometimes drawn wrongly in fanart (particularly older ones). These cases shouldn't be tagged chemical structure.

Koyori's hair ornaments are more stylized though, and probably shouldn't be tagged with chemical structure.

How about a qualifier or something for structural formula, for visibility? It'd be nice if if showed up in the list when someone starts typing chemical/chemistry.

So structural formula_(chemistry)?

create alias structural_formula -> chemical_structure

I don't think it's a good idea to rename a basic concept to an obscure name to avoid mistagging. The tag is being added to hair ornaments because it's a representation of the concept, so if we move it to structural_formula then users are going to add that tag instead of chemical structure to wikis, and it'll get mistagged just the same.

The solution here is to remove the tag from the character's wiki and DM frequent mistaggers.
