Topic: [APPROVED] Vtuber alias BUR

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #2247 is active.

create alias virtual_youtuber (0) -> vtuber (4921)
create alias vtuber_persona (0) -> vtuber (4921)

Reason: I noticed we have three separate tags for vtubers. Obviously vtuber is a shorthand for virtual_youtuber. The vtuber_persona tag seems to be half a shindanmaker meme and half actual Vtubers; so I added it just in case, but it can be removed if we'd rather just clean up the tag or otherwise.

I opted for Vtuber as the final tag, as I feel that is the more recognized term. Also looking at tag changes, it seems like it's mostly been a single user changing tags (and the wiki pages) from vtuber to virtual_youtuber.

There are some other BURs to consider that stem from this, such as character -> vtuber group -> vtuber. But this would need done first.

Edit: I had looked before hand and thought I saw nothing, but it seems I missed that virtual_youtuber is already implied by the hololive tag.

EDIT: The bulk update request #2247 (forum #330677) has been approved by @furrypickle.

You'd need another BUR to unimply hololive from virtual_youtuber. You can just attach it to this thread since admins aren't beholden to the exact order requests are posted in.

You can go to this link and reject this one since it's a duplicate.

Thanks for letting me know that I could reject them myself. I went ahead with rejecting the other instead and hid its thread since this thread had my edit and Clawstripe's response already.
