change category split_personality (146) -> invalid

Reason: This seems to be used ambiguously for a number of different things. square crossovers, conjoined characters, generic "good side and evil side" images... Some lore tagging on square crossover images that don't actually carry any implications of the character having a "split personality" based on TWYS, as well.

There's plural for characters inhabiting a shared body (see definition 4 of plural on Wikitionary ), which I added a better wiki for. I know plural means something else as well, but I don't think there would be a circumstance where someone would be tagging that meaning. But if necessary we could use plurality instead.

Dual_persona should probably also be included on a disambiguation page.

The bulk update request #7267 is pending approval.

change category split_personality (146) -> invalid
change category plural (12) -> invalid
change category multiple_persona (25) -> invalid
change category multiple_personalities (8) -> invalid
change category multiple_personality_disorder (0) -> invalid
change category dissociation (5) -> invalid

Reason: None of these can be seen, only inferred via prior knowledge of characters. The only time you can actually see a body is being controlled by another personality is when possession or corruption occurs.

I disagreed because the BUR was incomplete and suggested using a tag that should be invalidated.

Additionally, Images are tagged individually, without considering the collection they are in, so these could never apply to a comic either.

plural is there specifically for images where characters inhabiting a shared body is overt in the image.

It's just as taggable as possession would be, which also isn't TWYSable without context in the image itself...

Also dissociation is a different symptom that absolutely can be portrayed in an image?

^ You don't need background information on these characters to tag these as dissociation. (I sure don't have background information on these characters!)

I'd agree with multiple_personalities but it should probably be aliased to split_personality and then that invalidated with that including a disambiguation page linking to:

• plural
• dual_persona
• square_crossover
• possession
• body_control
• multi_head
• conjoined

Also multiple_persona seems to be unrelated.

create alias square_crossover (6829) -> multiple_persona (25) # duplicate of has blocking transitive relationships, cannot be applied through bur

multiple_persona is a synonym with how we use square_crossover that's used by other sites like gelbooru. A quick look through it and the people tagging it here seem to be using it with that definition in mind, presumably because they can't find square crossover. They should probably be aliased together. Multiple persona is debatable better seeing as it actually attempts to describe it's definition, however square crossover does have the advantage that it's very hard to confuse with anything else.

I'm curious what other people think.
