The bulk update request #2005 is active.

Reason: Making all the Gunfire Reborn characters imply their IP. Also adding IP suffixes to those who didn't already have them.

EDIT: The bulk update request #2005 (forum #327025) has been approved by @gattonero2001.

create implication gunfire_reborn -> video_games

Please try to avoid this, since we're trying to avoid over-using video_games.

create alias bandit_tactician_(gunfire_reborn) -> bandit_tactician
create implication rogue_henchman -> gunfire_reborn

These names are a bit generic, IMO, and should probably keep the suffix.

Good point, I'll remove those. Thanks for the heads up!

Currently the video_games wiki says this, maybe it should be edited? It sounds like it's saying all images of video game characters should have the tag. I could be misunderstanding though

This tag is used for any image or animation which shows a video game, hardware related to operating a video game, or a character, species, or item that relates to a video game copyright or franchise, as part of the scene.

See topic #29801, as well as this comment from topic #31819.

I see, I'll remove that one then

is too generic as well, just imply the suffixed version.

Fixed

Updated to add the characters from the DLC that came out last fall

create alias ao_bai_(gunfire_reborn) (43) -> ao_bai (0)
create alias qing_yan_(gunfire_reborn) (17) -> qing_yan (0)
create alias qian_sui_(gunfire_reborn) (13) -> qian_sui (0)
create alias uncle_bao_(gunfire_reborn) (12) -> uncle_bao (0)

This part will have to go, there is no justification for aliasing character names with suffixes to the same names without suffixes. If there is a good reason to get rid of the suffix, an update is better suited for the task.

Besides, Chinese names with two syllables may not be as unique as they seem. For example, there is another Qing Yan from TYPE-MOON, and another Uncle Bao from Blacksheep Affair, and so on. That is partially because e621 tags don't allow Unicode, which makes it impossible to use tone marks that distinguish names that are supposed to sound different.

EDIT: Actually, all of those could use suffixes IMO, including the ones that currently do not
