Edited tohno_shiki_(original) to tohno_shiki_(2)

Main reason:
The previous name of the tag was a spoiler of its own.

Possible disadvantage:
The new tag may be less intuitive for those who know about the character. I tried to use the shortest possible qualifier to mitigate this.

Also made a new spoiler-free Tohno Shiki (2) wiki entry, as the previous version -see Tohno Shiki (original)- was rife with spoilers (shouldn't it be deleted?).

Good job.

I'm kinda ambivalent about using numbers to disambiguate tags. If this sets a precedent, why shouldn't we use numbers to disambiguate artists? A lot more convenient than using the site name or Pixiv handle (if one even exists).

I think this is the only case where it works intuitively, with artists you would have to go through all of the numbers to find the one you're after.

It's nice to have the website in the artist name in many cases, since they are often used as an unofficial nickname among foreign fans (especially if they can't read the artist's name, or if the artist has a generic name like Makoto or something). Plus, I don't like numbered entries in general, so if there's an alternative, I'd prefer it.

remove alias toono_shiki_(2) -> tohno_shiki_(2)
create alias tohno_shiki_(2) -> tohno_shiki_(original)
remove alias tohno_shiki_(2) -> tohno_shiki_(original)
create alias toono_shiki_(original) -> tohno_shiki_(original)

As the years pass, the more obvious it becomes that this qualifier sucks, so I'm going to propose multiple ideas for alternate qualifiers. The first one is just restoring the original qualifier.

BUR #54368 has been rejected.

remove alias toono_shiki_(2) -> tohno_shiki_(2)
create alias tohno_shiki_(2) -> tohno_shiki_(real)
remove alias tohno_shiki_(2) -> tohno_shiki_(real)
create alias toono_shiki_(real) -> tohno_shiki_(real)

The second goes the route of Char Aznable (Real), making it even more clear what character is being talked about here, no care for spoilers. This also works if we find that the current use of (original) in other tags would make the first proposal seem awkward.

BUR #54369 has been rejected.

remove alias toono_shiki_(2) -> tohno_shiki_(2)
create alias tohno_shiki_(2) -> tohno_shiki's_brother
remove alias tohno_shiki_(2) -> tohno_shiki's_brother
create alias toono_shiki's_brother -> tohno_shiki's_brother

And this final proposal goes the route of Misumi Uika's Sister, making an effort to hide the spoiler in a similar way that the current qualifier does.

rename minashiro_soushi_(2) -> minashiro_soushi_(the_beyond)

A consequence of this tag existing is that it inspired another, in Minashiro Soushi (2). There's two options for it, one is to go with a qualifier that highlights which season of Fafner she's the main character of, while ignoring her initial appearance at the end of EXODUS.

BUR #54374 has been approved by @evazion.

rename minashiro_soushi_(2) -> minashiro_soushi_(reincarnation)

The other is to just blatantly state she is the reincarnation.

I think of Tohno SHIKI as the "original Tohno Shiki" more than the "real Tohno Shiki". The adoptive Tohno boy Shiki is hypnotised to assume the role of the erased eldest Tohno child, but Shiki (志貴)'s name is not changed to SHIKI (四季). Honestly the ploy doesn't make much sense, but I consider them two varieties of "real Tohno Shiki". Fake Shiki is someone else.

With that said, when glancing over "Tohno Shiki (original)" in the thread title my first instinct was that this was going to be about Original VN design vs. Remake. Tohno Shiki's gallery does caption his 2000 VN appearance as "original" after all.

That usage would align with how we have Ultraman Z (Original), Xbox (Original), Game Boy (Original), and Game Boy Advance (Original), and refer to the 'original' form of each, though Magearna (Original) and Pretty Zero (Original) differ in that regard (since they seem to exist relative to Magearna (Normal) and Pretty Zero (Clone) respectively), and also if you want to count *_(OC) as falling under (original).

We're just going to have to live with the fact that these tags are confusing as fuck and they have to be spoiled in order to explain what the difference between Tohno Shiki and Tohno SHIKI is.
