Continued VTuber cleanup [BUR]

Posted under Tags

BUR #26023 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias warabeda_meijii -> warabeda_meiji
remove alias warabeda_meijii -> warabeda_meiji
rename warabeda_meijii_(1st_costume) -> warabeda_meiji_(1st_costume)
rename warabeda_meijii_(4th_costume) -> warabeda_meiji_(4th_costume)

I'm currently working on a list of Nijisanji costumes for the VTuber costumes thread, when I noticed something peculiar - why is her name written Meijii with two i and not Meiji with one i? Checking it, this appears to be an actual error on our part.

BUR #51806 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias monarch_(amalee) -> monarch_amalee
create alias monarch_(1st_costume)_(amalee) -> monarch_amalee_(1st_costume)
create alias monarch_(flame_empress)_(amalee) -> monarch_amalee_(flame_empress)
create alias monarch_(siren)_(amalee) -> monarch_amalee_(siren)
create alias monarch_(mafia)_(amalee) -> monarch_amalee_(mafia)

In the spirit of other qualifier-removing BURs for VTubers, I think it would make sense to turn the (amalee) qualifier in these tags into a core part of the name.

Iirc she's ditched Monarch as her vtuber's name these days, if so could we theoretically shorten it to just AmaLee?

At that point, someone would go "why not just have it be Amanda Lee" before getting reminded we already have that chartag since she is a voice actor, and we'd probably end up at amanda_lee_(vtuber), which ultimately doesn't change anything qualifier-wise, since we'd still be doubling, ala amanda_lee_(mafia)_(vtuber).

BUR #53544 has been approved by @evazion.

rename itsbearvt -> itsbear_(vtuber)
rename pinbunvt -> pinbun_(vtuber)
rename sanaranavt -> sanarana_(vtuber)
rename esferitavt -> esferita_(vtuber)
rename digivt -> digi_(vtuber)
rename miouvt -> miou_(vtuber)
rename alicedollvt -> alicedoll_(vtuber)
rename tadovt -> tado_(vtuber)
rename nico_envt -> nico_(vtuber)
rename kitsenvt -> kitsen_(vtuber)
rename kitsenvt_(artist) -> kitsen_(vtuber)_(artist)
rename nanahoshi_nana -> nanahoshi_nana_(japanese_vtuber)

The vt in these chartags are literally our equivalent to _(vtuber), so I'm going to suggest we render them as such.

For Nanahoshi Nana meanwhile, there's Nanahoshi Nana (Thai VTuber), who's only tagged like that because of her, and this awful qualifier has precedent in Aoi Sakura (Japanese VTuber) and Aoi Sakura (English VTuber).

I would've done something similar for Toffee (VTuber) and ToffeeVT (VTuber)/ToffeeVT, but a) I didn't want to deal with the artist tags (whether ending in vt or in vtuber like SuliaVTuber), since there might not be better options for those; b) both stream in English, so the prior precedent doesn't work here, and the last thing I'd want to do is (american_vtuber) and (mexican_vtuber).

Two questions:
1. Is there a reason Laimu has the _(vtuber) qualifier in her tag? I searched the tags and there's nothing else named Laimu, but I wanted to double-check.
2. Is there any other method to remove it since aliasing and renaming won't work?

While there's no one else named Laimu, just laimu feels incredibly ambiguous, particularly when we have various tags starting with lime_*, including another VTuber in Lime (VTuber). That's probably why she has a qualifier, if I had to guess.

2. Is there any other method to remove it since aliasing and renaming won't work?

...what do you mean any other method? You just named the only methods that would work.

She does also go by Limealicious, so maybe that could work.

My bad on that, someone edited the BUR help page (I'm guessing by mistake) to say aliasing had the same limit as renaming.
