The bulk update request #4949 is active.

Reason: Was surprised to find a lot of TLK/TLG character implications are missing. Found all these with the help of the lion king wiki.
Part 1 of probably many...

As for the suffixes, we already have scar_(the_lion_king) implying the_lion_king and jasiri_(tlg) implying the_lion_guard, so one of those should change for consistency. (Changed to full suffixes)
To come after:
alias jasiri_(tlg) -> jasiri_(the_lion_guard)

EDIT: The bulk update request #4949 (forum #367206) has been approved by @gattonero2001.

The bulk update request #4950 is active.

Reason: Part 2

There are many other characters named Kiara and Kovu and a couple characters + an artist named Kion on here.
After:
alias kiara -> kiara_(disambiguation)
alias kovu -> kovu_(disambiguation)

There are more, but I'm gonna take a break for now. Will be back later

I prefer the full-length titles over the initialisms for the disambiguation suffixes in this case; the titles are not excessively long enough to justify the use of their initials, more so since the vast majority of character names are one word and aren't very long. I also feel that a single-letter difference between initialisms might lead to problems such as accidentally mistyped tags, even with aliases in mind. Plus, using the full titles makes it a lot clearer upfront for users about what the affiliated copyright is, which better help those who don't recognize acronyms and initialisms that well or have reading and vision problems.

Good points - I'll edit it tomorrow if others agree

Edited to have unabbreviated suffixes

Removed alias kion -> kion_(disambiguation) from the second BUR before approving, nothing wrong with it but it's better to wait for the update to go through before trying to alias.

Reason: Part 3, there will be 1 more part later
Nala and Sarabi (sarabi_(sheep_and_wolves)) should be disambiguated
After:
alias nala -> nala_(disambiguation)
category nala_(disambiguation) -> invalid
update sarabi -> sarabi_(the_lion_king)
alias sarabi -> sarabi_(disambiguation)
category sarabi_(disambiguation) -> invalid

There's also eddie_(timon_and_pumbaa), piper_(timon_and_pumbaa), and ralph_(timon_and_pumbaa). Should those characters (and potential other timon and pumbaa characters) imply timon_and_pumbaa and then timon_and_pumbaa implies the_lion_king, similar to the lion guard? Maybe timon_and_pumba should be renamed to the_lion_king's_timon_and_pumbaa as that's the full name of the show? In that case, would (timon_and_pumbaa) still be an appropriate suffix?

Reason: Part 4 oh boyyy
There will be one last part after this, I believe

Need to disambiguate sarafina (sarafina_(artist), sarafinaart, sarafina_(chakat_blackwater)), simba, and vitani (vitani_(exterminatus_now), vitani_(djcoyoteguy), vitani_savant)
There are two other shenzi tags (shenzi_(cornershop) and shenzi_(koul)) but they are very old, likely retired characters with only one post each. Is a disambiguation tag really necessary in addition to adding the suffix? I can add that if so. She technically did have a full name revealed in The Lion King 1 1/2 but it's really long.
After:
alias sarafina -> sarafina_(disambiguation)
category sarafina_(disambiguation) -> invalid
alias simba -> simba_(disambiguation)
category simba_(disambiguation) -> invalid
imply vitani_(the_lion_king) -> the_lion_king
alias vitani -> vitani_(disambiguation)
category vitani_(disambiguation) -> invalid

EDIT: The bulk update request #4971 (forum #367438) has been approved by @gattonero2001.

You will still need to remove Simba's existing implication, and please always remember to check if the updated character tags are already in the right categories.
