create alias master_key -> master_key_(fortnite)

If the names are unique enough to be aliased to a postfixed tag, they're unique enough to not need a postfix. A postfix is only necessary if the base is too ambiguous alone, but having the base be aliased to a specific use won't fix the ambiguous uses.

In order from most to least important:
emperess_(fortnite) should be empress_(fortnite)

-1 for implicating character reskins to the main character tag (imply *_meowscles -> meowscles_(fortnite)). That would be useful for searching, but inconsistent with how character variants have been handled in the past. I vote for aliasing like so:

alias ghost_meowscles -> meowscles_(ghost)
alias gold_meowscles -> meowscles_(golden_agent)
alias shadow_meowscles_(fortnite) -> meowscles_(shadow)
alias toon_meowscles -> meowscles_(toon)
imply meowscles_(ghost) -> fortnite
imply meowscles_(golden_agent) -> fortnite
imply meowscles_(shadow) -> fortnite
imply meowscles_(toon) -> fortnite

Then people can search for any form of meowscles with meowscles_*

firework_team_leader_(fortnite) is canonically fireworks_team_leader.
burning_wolf is canonically the_burning_wolf, as if it matters.
lil_whip may or may not be canonically lil'_whip: The wikis disagree.
panda_team_leader is canonically p.a.n.d.a_team_leader. Yes, with periods in between but not at the end. I would not object to omitting the periods.

I'm ambivalent about leaving peely and bendie without the _(fortnite) suffix, since they're pretty simple words, but I guess the only images on the site so far are appropriate. Whatever.

sludge_(fortnite) is a little weird, since it's part of the Rippley vs Sludge set, which is similar to bunnywolf_(fortnite) and maybe ought to be renamed similarly? Or bunnywolf_(fortnite) should be broken down into bunny_(bunnywolf) and wolf_(bunnywolf).

People are using both tags, so I support the alias for now.

i chose the suffixed one to be finalized as it already implies fortnite. however i could switch it around and suggest master_key becomes final and gets an implication?

nice catches! i hadn't thought about handling the Meowscleses like that. As for Bunnywolf, I could see your breaking-down idea working. It would make sense to split the Styles apart, as we have the different Meowscles and Rippley and Sludge. Will edit right away!

While we're here, could we also alias tags like polar_patroller_(fortnite) to just polar patroller? These kinds of names are more than unique enough to not have the suffix.

I think master_key is generic enough to deserve a disambiguation. It's also the name of a type of key that can open all doors, like a skeleton key (which itself is a character tag that should probably be disambiguated too).
