Make a separate tag for that alphabet? Don't see why they should be lumped under futhark if they're not the same.

Regardless they ARE a Futhark variant that sees decently common use and are on the main runes page as well, regardless of what you think of them, hence me putting them back
They are not a variant, which is why I removed the link from the page. From Wikipedia:
The Armanen runes (or Armanen Futharkh) are 18 pseudo-runes, invented by Austrian mysticist and Germanic revivalist Guido von List in 1902. Inspired by the historic Younger Futhark runes, they were described in his Das Geheimnis der Runen ('The Secret of the Runes'); this was published as a periodical article in 1906, and as a standalone publication in 1908. The name seeks to associate the runes with the postulated Armanen, whom von List saw as ancient Aryan priest-kings.
"Inspired by" does not make it a variant. Linking their page on the Futhark wiki is like attempting to put a link to Twilight (series) on the wiki for Harry Potter (Series). If you're going to keep trying to pollute the wiki then the page can be locked.

The most common use for that alphabet already has its own tag: siegrunen.

"The first sixteen of von List's runes correspond to the sixteen Younger Futhark runes, with slight modifications in names (and partly mirrored shapes). The two additional runes are loosely inspired by the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc." See look, they are Futhark.

create implication madoka_runes -> runes
create implication made_in_abyss_runes -> runesImplying anime runes to runes as well.
I don't know about this. We don't tag unownglyphics as hieroglyphics. Runes is already filled with gibberish pseudo-runes, but I'm not sure if these are rune-like enough to count even as that.

While I can accept them not being there to not argue this forever, I will point out the Siegrunen are the Sowilo Runes, IE a Futhark Rune.

Makes sense to me.
