Topic: [REJECTED] BUR for Blizzard franchises 4

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #5200 has been rejected.

create implication rogue_(diablo) (1) -> diablo (201)
create implication sorceress_(diablo) (2) -> diablo (201)
create implication leoric_(diablo) (1) -> diablo (201)
create implication lunara_(warcraft) (66) -> warcraft (28653)
create implication sha_(warcraft) (8) -> warcraft (28653)
create implication mantid_(warcraft) (22) -> mantis (1691)
create implication zeratul_(starcraft) (11) -> starcraft (663)
create implication zagara_(starcraft) (30) -> starcraft (663)
create alias james_raynor (13) -> jim_raynor (14)
create implication jim_raynor (14) -> starcraft (663)
create implication izsha_(starcraft) (3) -> starcraft (663)
create implication abathur_(starcraft) (26) -> starcraft (663)
create alias nova_(starcraft) (39) -> nova_terra_(starcraft) (0)
create implication nova_terra_(starcraft) (0) -> starcraft (663)
create implication niadra_(starcraft) (2) -> starcraft (663)
create implication ultralisk_(starcraft) (7) -> zerg (470)

Reason: Mostly unnecessary disambiguation and implying tags to their franchise or species. I opted to combine Raynor's tags to Jim over James because his nickname is more commonly used.

Edit: Rejecting to reorganize BURs into appropriate groups.

EDIT: The bulk update request #5200 (forum #370441) has been rejected by @Arkham_Horror.

I think it's best to leave these single-word tag names suffixed.

Is there any reason you're using mass updates instead of aliases? A mass update won't prevent people from using the tag again in the future, and anyone who uses the existing tag in a search or their blacklist, won't update automatically.

This is part of the reason that we break up BURs like this into sections per category/group, normally... You can have as many BURs on a topic as you want.

Mostly personal retardation. There were a lot of things I misunderstood, like the exact purpose of the Forum Topic field. Had I known what that did these would have been put under a single thread and split into smaller groups of related tags. I was also under the mistaken belief that characters with unique names unlikely to be associated with others didn't need disambiguation. Though it raises the question as to why tags like toriel and midna are not disambiguated.
