The bulk update request #8554 is pending approval.
mass update warfare_machine -> warfare_machine_(modeller)
create alias warfaremachine_(modeller) (0) -> warfare_machine_(modeller) (0)
create alias warfaremachine (94) -> warfare_machine (8961) # has blocking transitive relationships, cannot be applied through bur
change category warfare_machine (8961) -> artist
change category warfare_machine_(modeller) (0) -> copyright
Reason: Getting rid of the many warfare_* character tags
Watsit put it best in topic #44983 (and topic #44995)
watsit said:
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.

Summary:
This BUR thread updates the warfare_* character tags to be tagged with the copyright tag for Warfare Machine models, then aliases those tags away to the respective characters/species.
Additionally, this BUR specifically will update the tags warfare_machine and warfaremachine to something more clear between whether a post is using his models or is made by him, as the only thing separating those two is a space and the category color.
- The current copyright tag warfare_machine is updated to warfare_machine_(modeller), which will become the new copyright tags for posts using his models
- Additionally aliases the non-spaced name with the suffix, so that searches using either will pull up the relevant posts.
- The current artist tag warfaremachine is aliased to warfare_machine, and both tags will be marked as artist tags. That way, when either are searched, the relevant posts come up.

Tag-Specific Notes:
- warfare_goat - Warfare Machine has a lot of different goat models, so that's aliased to the goat species tag
- *unny - tags like vaporunny are aliased to hybrid, so I've done that for these as well
- many of the models are not made by WarfareMachine themselves, but rather are edits of their Lopunny model. They'll still be switched to his copyright tag as they're built off his model. (Same goes for domibun_fox_mccloud)
