The tag alias #67570 derek_(character) -> celeste_(dragoness) has been rejected.

Reason: Trans owner's sona, derek is dead name

EDIT: The tag alias derek_(character) -> celeste_(dragoness) (forum #394285) has been rejected by @Shaenarys.

I manually moved all the posts to celeste_(dragoness), because derek_(character) is ambiguous and should instead be aliased to derek_(disambiguation).

I feel that we should avoid giving the precedent of naming character tags as name_(species), though I know that was not your intention.
Maybe rename as celeste_(celestedragoness) or celeste_the_dragoness?

I am going to move everything to celeste_the_dragoness then.

Honestly, <name>_the_<species> is just as poor as name_(species), as they're essentially saying the same thing. It creates the same oddities when the character is drawn as an alternate_species, or even alternate sex in this case (e.g. celeste_the_dragoness when they're drawn as a crossgender male wolf and not a female dragon). The species may also not be good enough to avoid ambiguity, if another character can have the same name and be the same species (and dragons are a pretty broad concept, it doesn't have to be the same type of dragon to still run into conflicts).

While I was previously inclined to believe that is the case, I can see that a lot of *_the_* type character tags already exist (most notable examples being sonic_the_hedgehog, garfield_the_cat, jake_the_dog, etc.).
The same arguments can be made with them and alternate_species, so either we remove all *_the_* type tags and strictly stick to the name_(owner) format or we allow for more broader formats such as this.

As for another character also coincidentally being named Celeste and is also a dragon, I don't see anybody with that kind of description here on e6 yet.
However, if there just so happens to be another Celeste in the future, then we can change it to celeste_(celestedragoness) without any hassle.
The reason why I had stuck with celeste_the_dragoness is because it was their name on Patreon.
