The bulk update request #6031 is pending approval.

create implication shyvana (143) -> league_of_legends (31288)
create implication renekton (853) -> league_of_legends (31288)

Reason: There's some inconsistency in character tags for some Chinese game no one's heard of. A couple were missing implications too. There are more, but they're absent from this BUR because they currently have blocking transitive relationships.

Normally characters with unique names do not receive a disambiguation suffix. This rule is not applied consistently, especially for whatever character action game this is. Why?

Because people are imperfect and accept implications with unnecessary suffixes sometimes, and people can have different opinions on whether a given name is unique enough to not need a suffix (single names tend to get suffixes more often).

In any case, there's rarely a reason to alias an unsuffixed tag to a suffixed one. Either the name is unique enough to not need a suffix, or its ambiguous enough that an unsuffixed tag shouldn't be used for a specific instance.

This is downright reasonable. I was hoping to hear more perspectives, luring people to speak their mind by being wrong. Cracking a joke muddied the issue. I'd have thought katarina_du_couteau_(lol) was somewhat unique, but it isn't. There are more examples, some with 4-5 words in their name, but I forgot about this thread already.

It don't matter. None of this matters.
