The bulk update request #8871 is pending approval.

create implication renata_glasc_(lol) (4) -> league_of_legends (30821)
mass update renate_glasc_(lol) -> renata_glasc_(lol)
remove implication renate_glasc_(lol) (0) -> league_of_legends (30821)
remove implication gnar_(league_of_legends) (0) -> league_of_legends (30821)
remove implication azir_(league_of_legends) (0) -> league_of_legends (30821)
remove implication lulu_(league_of_legends) (0) -> league_of_legends (30821)
remove implication anivia (0) -> league_of_legends (30821)
remove implication soraka (1320) -> league_of_legends (30821)
remove implication veigar (990) -> league_of_legends (30821)
remove implication volibear (738) -> league_of_legends (30821)
remove implication warwick (0) -> league_of_legends (30821)

Reason: This is a cleanup of the tags that imply league_of_legends because there is some disorder that irks me.

~97% or 98% of the character tags that imply league_of_legends are suffixed with _(lol), even character names that are obviously unique like tahm_kench_(lol), aurelion_sol_(lol), tryndamere_(lol), etc.

There are a few exceptions I think need cleaning up, so I did my best to gather them here, in one place. This BUR has multiple parts:

imply renata_glasc_(lol) -> league_of_legends
update renate_glasc_(lol) -> renata_glasc_(lol)
unimply renate_glasc_(lol) -> league_of_legends

The name of this champion is Renata Glasc, this is just to clear up a typo.
-------------------

unimply gnar_(league_of_legends) -> league_of_legends
unimply azir_(league_of_legends) -> league_of_legends
unimply lulu_(league_of_legends) -> league_of_legends

These three tags already alias to their respective *_(lol) tags, no need for implications on aliased tags
-------------------

unimply anivia -> league_of_legends
unimply soraka -> league_of_legends
unimply veigar -> league_of_legends
unimply volibear -> league_of_legends
unimply warwick -> league_of_legends

Unimplying these tags in preparation to alias them to *_(lol) tags in line with all the other League of Legends character tags.

• soraka, veigar and volibear are currently used, can't find any examples of these tags being used for characters other than the ones from LoL
• anivia is currently unused in favor of anivia_(lol), but the name seems unique enough to alias.
• warwick is unused in favor of warwick_(lol) and "Warwick" isn't a unique name, so, just clearing this unnecessary implication.

Follow-up BUR:

alias anivia -> anivia_(lol)
alias soraka -> soraka_(lol)
alias veigar -> veigar_(lol)
alias volibear -> volibear_(lol)
imply anivia_(lol) -> league_of_legends
imply soraka_(lol) -> league_of_legends
imply veigar_(lol) -> league_of_legends
imply volibear_(lol) -> league_of_legends

They can be removed then, rather than unnecessarily adding it to others.

warwick is unused in favor of warwick_(lol) and "Warwick" isn't a unique name, so, just clearing this unnecessary implication.

I'd agree with this, though.

While I'd agree, we'd need to pore through all 200+ of the League of Legends character names in order to find out which ones are "unique enough" to drop the _(lol) and that just seems like it'd take too much time.

In addition, renekton, shyvana and thresh currently lack an implication to league_of_legends, so it'd probably be best to get this dialogue going now, I'm in favor of standardizing all LoL characters with _(lol) as a suffix simply because I think it'd save time and headache.

There are also some existing aliases like rengar -> rengar_(lol) and nasus -> nasus_(lol) so we'd need to undo those if we wanna go by "name is unique enough, drop the suffix"

It wouldn't affect just LoL characters, it's the standard way all tags are handled. If we expressly add a suffix to all LoL characters even when they have a unique name, it should be done for all characters that have a unique name for any other series or character owner.

I would personally be in favor of that--it would be a huge undertaking, yes, but some popular character tags have already moved in this direction, like krystal -> krystal_(star_fox) for instance. I know that wasn't due to some site-wide policy change on naming character tags, but if there were to be some discussion on that, I'd be in favor of giving most character tags suffixes unless they aren't attached to any copyrighted work or owner.

Just for reference, here are all the LoL-related character tags I found that alias to their *_(lol) version:

ahri rengar nasus fizz gnar kennen kha'zix teemo varus vel'koz

If the people in this thread agree that these are unnecessary, we can unalias them and start working on deciding which characters need _(lol) as a suffix.

kennen is particularly egregious and it bothers me. fizz and gnar are also probably very unnecessary.

I agree, but I'd like more community input before going through with that (and your BUR along with it).

+1 for removing unnecessary suffixes, imo

Another +1 from me too
