new tag: official_style_comparison

BUR #58603 is pending approval.

mass update tanya_degurechaff_(anime) -> -tanya_degurechaff_(anime) official_style_comparison
create alias anime_design_and_manga_design -> official_style_comparison
create alias anime_design_and_light_novel_design -> official_style_comparison
create alias old_and_new_style -> official_style_comparison

From topic #34412 and forum #435900. A tag to show different official styles of the same character/copyright in the same picture.

Could apply to different adaptations, or even to style shift across a long manga's history, or something like post #4123253.

IMO having "comparison" in the tag name feels too much like an actual comparison happening is a requirement. Sure, even when it's just two designs interacting as a dual persona, part of the intent of the image is that comparison, but it still feels too strong like this.

I don't know how else to name this. It can't be crossover because it could be a showcase, it can't be a showcase because it could be a crossover.

The third alias could be confused with artist progress
Otherwise seems fine

Oh, I completely forgot we had that tag. Then I guess we need to narrow this tag name down. That makes it harder to come up with a good name though.

If we already have artist progress, then I guess this tag can just be for multimedia comparison between different styles.

i think this is a good idea for the tag but i'm not sure about the term for comparison since in a lot of cases the characters are just standing there like in dual persona and the designs aren't actively being compared.

i don't think "style" is a good idea because we already have an official style tag that is for when an artist copies the art style that was used in an official work (like post #10479569)

so i propose different official designs instead which is like different reflection / different zoom layer etc. but for designs. i think this is better than multiple official designs because that sounds like it could include different characters and the tag is for the same character depicted with different designs, right?

This does not solve the issue of artist progress.
