Reason: There are some valid reasons to have a character tag ending in *_(character), for instance:
- The character shares the name of another common tag (e.g. stripes_(character))
- The character shares the name of a media franchise (e.g. puss_in_boots_(character))
- The character shares the name of an artist/user, usually being that artist/user's fursona (e.g. buxbi_(character) is buxbi's character)
However, sometimes it's just lazily tacked on to the end of a distinct character's name and I think it's better if these tags either get rid of them or end in *_(owner) instead. I've heard some people say they think character tags should be standardized like this to avoid ambiguity, so I'm getting that started by cleaning up some ambiguous "_(character)" tags.
In order:
- quetzalli_(character) used to share the name of artist quetzalli, which now aliases to darkmirage. Updating it to quetzalli_(darkmirage) to reflect this change.
- dimmi_(character) belongs to dimwitdog, according to the tag wiki. DimWitDog's gallery folder for Dimmi:
- sam-fox_(character) belongs to Jack-jackal according to the tag wiki.
- sir_squiggles_(character) belongs to KnightSquiggles on FA and seems unique enough to drop the _(character).
- sharpfury_(character) belongs to gamegod210 on FA who I found out also has a commissioner tag, gamegod210, which should be invalidated/nuked.
- fuchsia_(character) belongs to Shyguy9
I've already updated the destination tag types to Character, if this BUR is received well I may make another one updating more characters.
