Should be aliased to fox_mccloud, or at least warfare_machine. We shouldn't be tagging individual models as if they're their own characters, which just creates confusion and tag bloat. Fox McCloud is Fox McCloud, regardless of someone's style of him. It's better to just use the normal character tag, with the modeler if necessary.

BUR Recommendation:

update warfare_fox -> warfare_machine
update warfare_fox_mccloud -> warfare_machine
alias warfare_fox -> fox_mccloud
alias warfare_fox_mccloud -> fox_mccloud

Ensures warfare machine modeller tag is applied to current posts, and aliases to character tag for future use.

Edit: I'm actually just going to write a BUR that will do this for all existing warfare_* tags

Wouldn't it be better to change the modeller tag to warfare_machine_(modeller) to further differentiate it from the artist tag warfaremachine ? I think something like this came up in one of the discussions about modeller tags.

Also, maybe add domibun_fox_mccloud to the BUR as well. The artist domibun edited warfare_machine's model of Fox a while ago (he didn't create an own one, just edited the existing one) and it seems someone wanted to make a tag out of it.
