create implication kantus_(gears_of_war) (22) -> gears_of_war (158)
mass update kantus -> kantus_(gears_of_war)

Reason: While I do not know this franchise, after a quick search I believe all these tags relate to the same thing.
GOW being an acronym, and "the_coalition" being a lore organization in the story.
And "Kantus" being a species inside the franchise.

If "the coalition" is an in-universe concept, it should be an implication and not an alias, no...?

Idk if its just me but, The_Coalition seems... oddly ambiguious... though I am also not familiar with the series either, and it only has 28 uses...

This too, I would mass update it to like the_coalition_(gears_of_war) and then imply it.

gow could also be god_of_war

Or a misspelling of cow, bow, or row, letters that aren't too far from 'g'.

Oh right, would "gow" be better off as a disambiguation tag then?

Without searching about what the coalition is, I had no idea what the tag refeered to. So, probably, against TWYS, and I don't think it quite fit as a copyright tag either.
It's a useless lore tag, I think. Why would someone want to search for this tag when it's better to search for the characters/species that relate to that part of the lore?

We shouldn't tag this organized group from the canon lore, just like we don't tag (or at least imo shouldn't) red_team and blu_team for team fortress related artworks. Searching for the team color can be easily done by searching clothing color instead, I assume.

I can't think of other "lore groups" to cite as examples though, if anyone can think of something to add or counter my argument it would be great

If you find a bow, cow or row under the tag gow lmk.

I agree with DesertAisha

I think it should be a disambiguation.

This one's too generic to be used only in gears of war

BUR updated in light of latest replies.

- alias gow -> gears_of_war
+ alias gow -> gow_(disambiguation)
+ category gow_(disambiguation) -> invalid

alias gears_of_war_3 -> gears_of_war
alias gears_of_war_2 -> gears_of_war

- alias the_coalition -> gears_of_war
+ imply the_coalition_(gears_of_war) -> gears_of_war
+ update the_coalition -> the_coalition_(gears_of_war)

implicate gears_of_war_logo -> gears_of_war

- implicate locust_(gow) -> gears_of_war
+ implicate locust_(gears_of_war) -> gears_of_war
+ update locust_(gow) -> locust_(gears_of_war)

- implicate kantus -> gears_of_war
+ implicate kantus_(gears_of_war) -> gears_of_war
+ update kantus -> kantus_(gears_of_war)

Also, is it proper to request a mass update for this number of tagged posts? I could easily manually do it given they relatively small, but might as well update them all at once.
