Topic: Begone Unnecessary Tags

The bulk update request #7882 is pending approval.

create alias zerosuit_fox (275) -> zero_suit (1984)
create alias rouge_the_nun (100) -> rouge_the_bat (29596)
create alias amy_rose_the_werehog (142) -> amy_rose (22101)
create alias rouge_the_werebat (125) -> rouge_the_bat (29596)
create alias shadow_the_werehog (47) -> shadow_the_hedgehog (9343)
create alias blaze_the_werecat (55) -> blaze_the_cat (10609)
create alias jet_the_werehawk (5) -> jet_the_hawk (919)
create alias tikal_the_wereechidna (8) -> tikal_the_echidna (1547)
create alias scourge_the_werehog (6) -> scourge_the_hedgehog (649)
create alias cream_the_wererabbit (4) -> cream_the_rabbit (8692)

Reason: (I'm not that good at naming BURs)
zerosuit_fox is literally just Fox Mccloud wearing a zero_suit and thus pretty much unnecessary. zero_suit_samus is also aliased to samus_aran.
rouge_the_nun is Rouge in a nun outfit and the last two are just alternate species. None of those warrants an own character tag.

EDIT: Added more were-versions and changed the alias to zero_suit.

Actually zerosuit_fox might be better aliased to zero suit as that's where zero suit fox got aliased to.

Though on further consideration fox_mccloud might be the best destination since some posts under zerosuit_fox -zero_suit shouldn't have the tag, while zerosuit_fox -fox_mccloud is empty

I presume that's because you're not very accostumed to it?

If we must lose these tags, can we replace them with werecreature so the images can still be found?

Well I think the more established tag is were rather than werecreature (though I wouldn't be opposed to aliasing the former to the latter)

You can add werehog/werebat manually to amy_rose_the_werehog -werehog and rouge_the_werebat -werebat

Wait hog is aliased to suina but we have both werehog and weresuina both on different branches of the were tree? (oh, it's for hedgehog (though a better name would be nice (I wonder if werehog is frequently (relative to the use of werehog/weresuina) used instead of weresuina)))

there's a bunch of other sonic were character tags we should probably get rid of as well. shadow_the_werehog and blaze_the_werecat are both fairly populated, but we might just get the rest of them in there as well.

werehog is for were hedgehogs because that's what it's called in sonic_unleashed.

as far as I can tell it's only been mistagged in this way on post #2526600.

I originally picked the alias to fox_mccloud, because zerosuit_fox has also been applied to pictures lacking zero_suit. I only noticed this tag, because I regularly check the changes on my uploads and a user added it to some of them featuring Fox, but no zero suit.

I suck at naming things in general.

I'd also prefer if zerosuit_fox was aliased to zero_suit, mostly because my general stance that things should be aliased to the first word in their tag name when necessary, just so it dosn't move actual relevant tags further down the auto complete list.

I cleaned out all of the posts from that tag that lacked the zero suit.

Changed the alias to zero_suit and added more Sonic were characters from your list.

Cleanup:

rouge_the_nun -nun/rouge_the_nun -nun_habit/rouge_the_nun -nun_outfit This will probably lead to another BUR...

The first one should be -fox_mccloud but yeah that's empty too

Ah, duh, thinking of the species. But that works!
