Topic: Tag alias: sugar_(slovenskiy) -> sugar_d'amore

The tag alias #80555 sugar_(slovenskiy) -> sugar_d'amore is pending approval.

Reason: Currently there's two different tags for this character, one with more posts than the other.

They're owned by the same person. slovenskiy is an alias of fizzy-dog

If character owner is fizzy-dog, then the character should get _(fizzy-dog) suffix. This makes finding their character tag trivial, you just go to tags and search for *_(fizzy-dog). Using anything else creates extra barriers for people who don't know the tag already.

I've updated both tags to sugar_(fizzy-dog) manually.

I disagree with this move. If a character has a full name that's unique enough to avoid overlap, that should be the tag that we use for them, in my opinion.

A disambiguation suffix should only be used for potentially ambiguous tag names, not general organization. It makes tags unnecessarily longer, creates a larger burden if the suffix needs to be changed, and creates an issue if a suffix is needed for another purpose. If a character has a unique enough full name, that should be used without a suffix. At best, a simplified suffixed tag can be aliased to the full name to help people who may only know the first name and owner, but the unsuffixed full name is the preferred tag name.
