Topic: Tag alias: spotted_markings -> spotted_body

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag alias #70189 spotted_markings -> spotted_body is pending approval.

Reason: I randomly ran across this tag today for the first time and I can't possibly guess what the distinction is supposed to be. On one hand, spotted_markings has over 8000 posts, and someone had to approve the several aliases it has. But on the other hand, it's not a phrase people use in real life, and it has no wiki entry or implications that might clue people in on what it's for.

The general idea is that *_markings can apply to any minute marking on the body while *_body is used for when the whole body is covered in the aforementioned detail.
