create alias shoe_removed -> single_shoe

same thing

EDIT: The bulk update request #2627 (forum #166397) has been rejected by @evazion.

shoe_removed means a shoe is lying there not being worn
single_shoe means one foot has a shoe on it and the other doesn't

there's a lot of overlap because artists draw the removed shoe in single_shoe pictures, but there could be an unworn shoe in a picture where both feet are shoeless

[redacted dumbassery] Oh, foot out of frame... Point taken. Another example, post #3798319 has one worn shoe but the other isn't seen thus only single_shoe applies.

Take a look at post #3026304. It satisfies the current definition of shoe_removed, yet it clearly does not satisfy the definition of single_shoe. Therefore, this alias is problematic.

That said, I don't see why it's necessary to have separate plural and singular tags for shoes_removed, shoe_removed, boots_removed, boot_removed, sandals_removed, sandal_removed, and whatever else fits this category. IMO they should have all been rolled up into a single footwear_removed tag when we consolidated all the other footwear tags in topic #14395.

I've been wondering the same myself or at least why there is singular and plural variants, we don't have it for most other things.

I agree with the plural/singular thing. For myself, I always use the plural form.

Feel free to request this. shoe_removed -single_shoe will need some gardening first though, because some taggers do use shoe removed to mean single shoe.

There is a difference between single and plural, with regards the sort of situation that they suggest, but given that in terms of images "single" could be "multiple but with one out of the frame" while "multiple" could be "more than one single" there probably isn't much point having separate tags for shoe removed/shoes removed, no.

I'm rather more sceptical of the idea of combining various footwear removed tags, though.
