Topic: Tag Alias: nidhogg -> ragnarokdragon

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

This alias ought to be removed, maybe disambiguated. Nidhogg is the name of a mythical creature and a video game.

Does this actually affect Nidhogg_(videogame)? Or should this be disambiguated?

I don't think the videogame is too relevant to us either. Nothing in that game is furry so I don't think disambiguating something that we most likely won't host very many of is really worth it.

The name is from Norse mythology, and as such, it is widely used.
630 hits on FA, and most of those are by other artists who've named their dragon characters 'Nidhogg'.

So it should be unaliased, at least.

I mean, if the OP is right your answer is literally there. Back then there were no standards in aliasing artist names to their other names.

Edit: I deleted the alias and instead made one of nidhogg_(artist) to ragnarokdragon. Do we want to directly disambiguate the nidhogg tag, or only deal with it once it becomes relevant?

Clearly I dont know how to read, apologies.

Its probably better to work on it manually for now and disambiguate it later if it becomes a problem.
