There is also a whole list here of your character tags if you want to give them official first and last names.
However, I highly suggest using a BUR next time, so that we don't have multiple threads like topic #37784.

Yeah, I think we should just attach a BUR to this thread, for all the implications. Don't we normally have that for characters from specific comics like tale_of_tails?

imply lamb_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply tamusa_ingram_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply hadie_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply dalen_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply lillie_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply baghe_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply ellina_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply dee_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply friga_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply natalie_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply toben_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply zee_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply jay_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply corgan_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply tanita_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply thomas_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply antho_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply artefact_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply john_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply redbear'd_(feretta) -> tale_of_tails
imply rebecca_joice_(feretta)-> tale_of_tails

Edit that to remove characters that don't belong in the comic, right?

I do not follow the series that closely, so I cannot make a judgement on that.

However, I would highly suggest as well that the implication BUR be in a separate thread WITH a descriptive title, rather than being in here.
Otherwise, it would be buried here with this nondescript title and nobody would know about the extra BUR.

Ah OK, but the artist is right there... just saying. Feretta should know, haha. Well, I did the leg work with creating the script. Just copy, paste, edit out non-ToT characters, and submit as BUR, and we're good to go!

I don't know the comic well enough to know which of those characters should be linked to the comic officially, so I'll leave that part alone for now.

But renaming the character tag to the full name for the character is approved and done!

I don't really know how the BUR stuff works, and there doesn't appear to be any explanation for it either in the help list or the BUR page itself. But here's about what it would look like, if anyone else wants to. :p

lamb_(feretta) -> morgan_laranda
dee_(feretta) -> davirius_solrun
tamusa_ingram_(feretta) -> tamusa_ingram
hadie_(feretta) -> hadie_montaro
dalen_(feretta) -> dalen_montaro
john_(feretta) -> This is not a character, it's a joke. :p
redbear'd_(feretta) -> Again, not really a character. Not that it matters much, of course.
rebecca_joice_(feretta) -> rebecca_joice

Dunno what the general preference is for having artist suffix on character tags, I feel it clutters things, and isn't really necessary when the characters have unique names anyway.

The bulk update request #4549 is active.

create alias lamb_(feretta) (0) -> morgan_laranda (176)
create alias dee_(feretta) (0) -> davirius_solrun (7)
create alias tamusa_ingram_(feretta) (0) -> tamusa_ingram (7)
create alias hadie_(feretta) (0) -> hadie_montaro (16)
create alias dalen_(feretta) (0) -> dalen_montaro (16)
create alias rebecca_joice_(feretta) (0) -> rebecca_joice (0)

Reason: So that would look like this.

ooo, really nice! Thank you for doing that! And yeah, we really do need to put together even a basic explanation for how to make a BUR. I kind of just guessed the first time I had to suggest one.

As a basic rundown for "how to make a BUR":
- you click the request BUR link https://e621.net/bulk_update_requests/new

- and the "title" will = the title of the forum thread. So pick something that makes it easy to at least identify the theme or purpose of the BUR in some way.
----
- next box is "script" and you can click the small 'help' link just under it to check the cheatsheet for the format and codes.

So you basically go "I want to alias fruit to dancing_monkeys so that means I want to write alias fruit -> dancing_monkeys on the first line. And so on.

• alias = the site auto-replaces [this tag] with -> [that tag instead] for searches and tagging. Only good if they are 100% the same thing.
• imply / implicate = linking two tags together, so that if you tag or search [tag 1] then it will automatically -> include all of [tag two] also. Only good for when the first tag, is a type of the second bigger tag. So an apple is a type of fruit. So apple could be implied to -> fruit. But fruit is not a type of apple, so the direction matters a lot for checking if an implication will work or not.
• update / mass update = moving every image inside of a tag right now, over to the second tag. But it only does it one time. Good for if a tag has only one kind of thing in it right now, but the tag name is confusing, so we'll use the site to move all of the images to the better tag instead of doing it by hand. And then decide what to do with the old tag name later.
• category tag_name = that is a weird phrase for it, only just noticed that. But that should be what changes the tag type from (for example) changing a tag from being a species tag type to an artist tag type. We can do that manually too, but sometimes it is part of other changes so it's handy to have it in the same BUR.
• nuke = emptying the tag entirely, I think. We don't use it often or lightly.

---

Anyways.
Then use the 'reason' to give a reason. Even if it seems obvious, it is still a good idea to give some context or explanation for your suggested changes.

-

And then if there is already an existing forum thread that you want this to be added onto (instead of making a separate new one), then you can grab that forum thread id number from the URL and put the number into that box at the bottom. So for example, the url for this thread here is https://e621.net/forum_topics/37785 so you could take that 37785 and copy it into that forum thread box at the bottom of the BUR form and it would put it into that thread. Which is what I did just above this comment here.

And basically, that is how you make a BUR. That might help if you find any more in the future that could be aliased or implicated as needed, etc.

====

And for your other question: we do tend to prefer the full unique character names if we can find them. The artist/owner suffix is more of a placeholder to make it unique and easy to identify until we can find their full name and/or if their name is not that unique. So this suggestion is great and I can get those character names updated for you now.
