Aliasing Pinkamena -> pinkie_pie_(mlp).

Reason: Same character. Don't need two tags that are the character's name, esp. when the former is a obscure reference (ask someone who pinkie pie is- if they've heard of the show, they can tell you. Ask them who Pinkamena is, and you'll get a blank stare unless a brony or whatever).

this is kind of like saying "why should I tag mario? everyone knows who mario is if they care about mario... c_c;;;

pinkamena should be changes to pinkamena_(mlp) and imply pinkie_pie_(mlp) though...

No, because Mario is tagged Mario because he's Mario. He's not tagged Mario and Mario Mario, because everyone knows him as Mario, and not everyone knows he's Mario Mario, ie; Mario of the Mario brothers- like how Luigi is Luigi, not Luigi and Luigi Mario. They also get the Mario Bros. tag because that's the continuity that they're from, just like Pinkie Pie is from the MLP/FiM continuity and is tagged as such.

Well, in the Super Mario Bros. movie (just roll with it >_>) we find out Marios full name is Mario Mario. While looking aside the incredibly dumb name, we only hear it once, and is then never talked about again, and to my knowlegde never became canon.
Even though Pinkie's first name is canon, it is only used like one or two times in the series. So to make it easier to search for her, Pinkamina should be changed to Pinkie. If people are specifically searching for her, they will probably search for "pinkie_pie_(mlp)". That would be like me searching for Reb Brown, and looking for "Robert", since it's his actual name. Yeah, i've begun rambling...

Edit: Oh, someone already commented on that...

-_-

okay. How about this, then: Pinkamena LOOKS like an entirely different character, and sometimes shown as being a separate physical entity with pinkie pie.

Hoe does you find these images of pinkie, then, if not with the pinkamena tag?

... also, I loved the super mario brothers movie <3

Pinkamena doesn't look like an entirely different character, because it's the same character, just with her crazy switch turned to Cupcake- and that's only because it's now being used for that purpose. Pinkamena is the character's full first name; Much like you don't call Black Bart Bartholemew, you don't call Pinkie Pie Pinkamena- You call her by the given name. As for finding the axe-crazy cupcakes-version, cupcakes_(mlp_fanfic) links to (or should link to) all images to do with that fanfic and that twisted personality- Much as rocket_to_insanity_(mlp_fanfic) applies for the version with rainbow dash going insane. For those scenes with both her Cupcakes form and her normal form together, I've been tagging them inner_demon as it seems apropos and linguistically accurate while still being easily searchable.

.... pinkamena doesn't = cupcakes tiem.... though that is a common depiction. PInkamena also refers to depression and sadness. and her childhood....

but in any regard, thetr's a complete hair style and attitude shift.

If someone says "I want to see pictures of pinkie pie like she was in those two episodes" how do they find it?

and what do OTHER people think? I don't care much myself. I"m arguing because the tag has seen usage and that means people like using it. So why?

This is one of the few times I agree with 123easy on MLP Related tags. Pinkamina_Diana_Pie as her full name is, would imply Pinkie_Pie_(MLP) and alias itself to Pinkamina_Diana_Pie_(MLP) if we "Decide" to keep it. However, I think we should just alias it to pinkie_pie_(MLP) myself, and simply adding the Straight_Hair tag would fix the whole problem no?
