I want to know who though it was a good idea to change a tag that is simple and recognizable by most users to one that has more words for the sake of adding more words.
Why the change? I don't understand why. Almost everyone on the site know who she is. I don't think it need to be more obvious with adding "_(Star_Fox)" on top of it.

I don't have to type "Rouge_the_bat_(Sonic_the_hedgehog)" in the search bar to get images of her. I don't have to type "Renamon_(Digimon)", I don't have to type "Gardevoir_(Pokemon)", I could go on with a list of many characters to point it out.

I feel it's a pointless change to a tag that has been established as a single word.

There's more than one character called Krystal, and even more than one version of Star Fox's Krystal (the Dinosaur Planet beta design). A disambiguation is the proper thing to do when a tag has multiple different uses.

"Krystal" is just a first name, to use that alone as a tag is like if we used Judy instead of Judy_Hopps just because that's the most popular "Judy" in furry art.

"Rouge the Bat" might as well be a full name, and "Gardevoir" is the name of a Pokemon.

the top 8 results are all the star fox krystal

honestly, I don't see a point in having a krystal aliased to a disambiguation tag when krystal_(star_fox) is 38x more common then every other character with the name combined, it should just be aliased to that.

it's only been truly mistagged on other character named "Krystal" like six times in the past two years, and, ignoring the dinosaur planet version of the character (who didn't even have a proper separate tag untill a few years ago), there've been fewer than 20 mistags of this variety over the entire lifetime of the website, most other valid removals were mistaken identity which would still happen otherwise.

Also, a unique trademark. Like saying Digimon or Superman.

This is how you end up getting some fool tagging the most common tag, because of suggestions? Meh, this same argument applies to Mew (Pokemon). It probably is pretty rare and obvious when it happens, though, yeah. I suspect it would only occur on new posts.

There'd be no point in aliasing, then. The reason for aliasing krystal away to a disambiguation tag is because it's ambiguous and people will tag krystal without knowing which Krystal it's referring to, so aliasing krystal to krystal_(star_fox) would do nothing to stop that problem (people will still tag krystal without knowing and cause krystal_(star_fox) and its implications to be potentially erroneously tagged). If a tag is ambiguous it shouldn't be aliased to a specific instance, and if it's not there's no need for a suffix, so there's never a reason to alias an unsuffixed tag to a suffixed one except for _(disambiguation).

i do gotta agree with watsit. while aliasing krystal to krystal_(star_fox) makes sense in this context, it's not a great example to set for how other character disambiguation should be handled

I mean, we alias the most/all MLP characters to versions with the *_(mlp) suffix in order to differentiate between the much more common and popular main design of the character and their human *_(eg) forms.

for Krystal it's kind of the same situation, krystal_(star_fox) is the much more popular version of the character but there's also the beta design of her under krystal_(dinosaur_planet).
