Tag Alias: os -> os-tan

Aliasing os -> os-tan.

Reason: Full name.

Most of the characters should probably also get -tan on their tags, e.g. me -> me-tan, 95 -> 95-tan, 98 -> 98-tan, xp -> xp-tan, etc.

I third this.

There should be separate tags for actual OS and its Personification.

I'm not sure if there are pictures of said OS's but in that case, I think they should be tagged as Windows 95 windows me and so on.

If that's the case should we also do the same for the nijiura maids?
medoi -> medoi-san
modoi -> modoi-san
hidoi -> hidoi-san
etc.?

Is there an actual conflict, or is it a case of "doing for the sake of doing"? The reason the OS girls are being discussed is because their names are extremely short, ranging from 1-3 characters long.

There are a lot but I got started with the following, and think I got their wikis (though not everything referencing them I'm sure):

create alias os -> os-tan
create alias 95 -> 95-tan
create alias 98 -> 98-tan
create alias 3.1 -> 3.1-tan
create alias 7 -> 7-tan
create alias 98se -> 98se-tan
create alias ce -> ce-tan
create alias me -> me-tan
create alias nt -> nt-tan
create alias vista -> vis-tan
create alias xp -> xp-tan
create alias xp_home -> xp_home-tan

As for Vista, is it Vista-tan or Vis-tan? Also, are all the remaining ones just a matter of -tan or do some not include the honorific in the name, or replace it with something else?

I believe it's Vis-tan. With OS-Tan Collections Wiki article being the reference (I'm not sure if it could be considered a qualified source, though).

Oh, and thank you for your hard work.

The OS-tan meme sort of petered out quite a bit after XP, and Vista was probably one of the least represented in her time. For aesthetics and consistency though, I'd vote towards vista-tan. It's a lot easier to search for as well.

A Google search will suggest the same thing: 196k results for "Vista-tan", and only 6.1k for "Vis-tan".

Perhaps consider aliasing vis-tan to vista-tan if it is really interchangably used. Sometimes, alternative names are used for alternative designs, so keep that in mind.

This might need to be done for the Mac and Linux ones for their moefied versions too.

For the record, tags for the actual OSes exist already, such as windows_xp and windows_vista.

Well, I second this.

Oops, I see. Actually, I meant that it should be obvious from a single glance at a tag if it refers to an operating system or OS-tan (blame my wording). Thanks for pointing out.

Makes sense. And yeah as I looked at more recent operating system character tags, the sense of consistency in naming and design started to fade, so it got a bit messy.

I'll alias vis-tan to vista-tan and leave the rest as is.

The alias to vista-tan is missing atm. Perhaps it didn't go through because vista is aliased to vis-tan.

Yeah, looks like it is. Thanks, fixed.

Sorry for bumping this back up, but I think there was one alias that was missed:
2k -> 2k-tan

The alias vista -> vista-tan is still missing.

Did
create alias 2k -> 2k-tan
create alias vista -> vista-tan
