Topic: Tag Implication: sister_location -> five_nights_at_freddy's

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Doesn't Five Nights at Candy's also have a game by that name?

I think the tag should be FNAF_Sister_Location, because there are other games (plural & including fan games) that include sister location as its title. Here's some context.

An alias from Sister_Location to the aforementioned is agreeable, though.

I'd be okay with the tag being fully expanded to "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location", which is its title on Steam and Wikipedia. "FNAF Sister Location" seems to only be used on the game's website.

It is overtly long. Long tags dissuade people from tagging/using it at all, alias or otherwise.

The term is used too often outside of the franchise to clearly be referring to the franchise. Not just by title either. Any branch of any chain is a sister location to every other branch of that chain.

I suggest sister_location_(fnaf) instead.

It's just a matter of copying and pasting it. Hardly the most complicated issue.

If I may piggyback on this topic, I've noticed that some images are only tagged with the broad series, like metal_gear and paper_mario (in fact, the_thousand_year_door and super_paper_mario are outright aliased to paper_mario), whereas others are tagged with the individual games, like final_fantasy and the_legend_of_zelda. Is there a particular reason for the discrepancy?

That's not a solution, that is a workaround; not everyone knows how to C&P, nor are all browsers, mobile included (and especially so), friendly with highlighting non-editable text. That's a method for some people, not everyone.

Furthermore, I did specify "use". Do you honestly expect that a six word tag will fit in with suffixes, slashes, and other underscored words when someone is trying to use our tag system? The bulk of the tag very easily defeats the usability.

I understand your point about copy and pasting, but I'm confused as to what you're referring to when you say "suffixes, slashes, and other underscored words".

To use certain tags in our system, you need to use suffixes (candy_(artist)), slashes (male/female), or underscores (Five_Nights_at_Freddy's). In searches and tag editing, spaces separate tags, so Five Nights at Freddy's is different from Five_Nights_at_Freddy's.

You can take notice of implication chains involving franchises: Lulu_(LoL) implies League_of_Legends, yet Lulu_(League_of_Legends) is aliased to Lulu_(LoL) because it is unnecessarily long. This effect is replicatable with Sister Location; using the official name is unnecessarily long, and being part of an implication chain we'd just need to use the short name, which could be FNAF_Sister_Location or Sister_Location_(FNAF).

Actually, FNAF should only have one tag. Unlike games like Legend of Zelda, all FNAF games either involve the same set of characters or entirely new ones by different names.
