• create alias convenient_bath_steam -> censor_steam ( Link to alias )
• create alias steam_censor -> censor_steam

convenient_bath_steam is too long/specific. censor_steam is simpler and fits with other tags like censor_tail and censor_hair.

And also alias steam_censor to censor_steam, like the hair_censor alias.

Personally I think steam_censor (or steam_censoring) sounds slightly better than the proposed censor_steam.

Steam_censor would also fit with other tags we have like heart_censor, character_censor, novelty_censor, etc.

There are about as many censor_* tags as there are *_censor tags.

I would use them (mostly) this way:

*_censor = * is censored /// except for adjectives such as novelty censor
censor_* = * is used to censor/cover something

In which case the OP two aliases stand and we also get:

• heart_censor -> censor_heart
• character_censor -> censor_character

=============================
442 	? identity_censor
78 	? nipple_censor

That's only two tags referencing what's being censored, though. I proposed the OP aliases to fit existing practice, but I agree with Toks that making "censor" sounds better. We'd just need make a bunch more aliases to set a new standard.

That's not how the tags are currently used - whether any given tag is named *_censor, censor_*, or *_censoring is pretty much random at the moment.

And I disagree with using them the way you suggest. If we wanted to separate them into two types like that, it would be more intuitive to do this:

censored_* = * is censored
*_censor = * is used to censor/cover something

"Censor steam", "censor tail", "censor heart", etc, sound awkward to me, and their names are less clear.

So, either the 3 aliases in the OP, or:

• create alias censor_bar -> bar_censor
• create alias censor_hair -> hair_censor
• create alias censor_tail -> tail_censor
• create alias censor_wings -> wing_censor
• create alias censor_tape -> tape_censor
• create alias censor_heart -> heart_censor
• create alias convenient_bath_steam -> steam_censor
• create alias censor_steam -> steam_censor
  

*_censor sounds a bit better to me, doing RaisingK's list.
