Part 1: Main Series

We only prefer [name]_the_[species] format character tags when they're official character names (such as in Sonic the Hedgehog), this is not the case here. Some of these are also just nonsensical, Alakay Alex mashes up Alex's birth name up with his current one for no reason, and I can't find any mention of Florrie's name actually being short for Florence. As for Melman, his full name appears to just be obscure wiki trivia that I can't even find a proper source for. I'm also adding an implication for Chantel Dubois and removing an implication from the empty kowalski tag (Kowalski_(Madagascar) is the actual tag).
