Danbooru

some Yu-Gi-Oh! character aliases

Posted under General

Aliasing tristan_taylor -> honda_hiroto.
(Aliasing tristan_timothy_taylor -> honda_hiroto.)
Aliasing joey_wheeler -> jounouchi_katsuya.
(Aliasing joseph_wheeler -> jounouchi_katsuya.)
Aliasing tea_gardner -> mazaki_anzu.
Aliasing yugi_moto -> mutou_yuugi.

Aliasing melody_nosaka -> nosaka_miho.

Reason: EN (US) anime -> JP

And I would suggest maximillion_j_pegasus -> pegasus_j_crawford, but he's been woefully neglected in the uploads.

Even in the 4Kids version, it's Muto with "u" and I don't want to support name order aliases. (first_name last_name -> last_name first_name)

I've always remembered them pronouncing his family name as "MOH-TOH", though I never watched the credits to see how they spelled it.

As for the name-order aliases, we've done it before, in both directions. (see: Subaru Nakajima, others.)

That's because Subaru is one of the few exceptions to the "Eastern name, Eastern order" rule.

Indeed, but my point is that it sets an example of aliasing a name tag in improper order to that of its proper order. That's pretty much exactly what we're trying to do here.

I just don't want this to set a precedent and have people coming out of the woodwork to list a bazillion aliases for other characters. Anyone that's been here for any amount of time ought to know that Danbooru uses whatever the original name order was, not the systematically sterilized Western order foisted by localizers.

I think the precedent has already been set. However, I do at least partially agree with you; I think name-order aliases can be withheld until it becomes apparent that there is significant confusion on the issue, just like most other aliases should.
e.g.: If there are only 5 images tagged yuugi mutou, then just edit them to mutou yuugi, but if there are (random number) 100 or so, then an alias is in order.

Basically this, though I'll do it in this case only because it takes no extra effort when I'm copy/pasting. But in general, right, I won't do it in cases where there isn't a significant existing number of incorrectly tagged images. There's no need to put a lot of effort into giving a crutch for people who flip name orders.

Done:
create alias tristan_taylor -> honda_hiroto
create alias tristan_timothy_taylor -> honda_hiroto
create alias joey_wheeler -> jounouchi_katsuya
create alias joseph_wheeler -> jounouchi_katsuya
create alias tea_gardner -> mazaki_anzu
create alias yugi_moto -> mutou_yuugi
create alias melody_nosaka -> nosaka_miho

Also, T5J, you can leave periods and such off of the end of alias/implication lines. It's not that it takes me a long time to remove them, rather it can result in incorrect aliases if I don't notice the extraneous punctuation and copy/paste.
