Aliasing stitch_(disney) → stitch
Link to alias

Reason:

19 images are tagged stitch_(disney), most are not. Confusing

Problem is there is a few other non Disney chars named stitch. Thats why its there

I don't care which one gets aliased, my issue is that they're both being used. The vast majority just use Stitch and the vast majority of images tagged Stitch contain the Disney Stitch

stitch already implies lilo_and_stitch, so stitch_(disney) is redundant. No problems with this alias, but the non-Disney characters need to be moved to other tags.

This is a bad mentality. What neds to be done is the removal of the stitch > lilo_and_stitch implication and fixing of the tags to stitch_(disney) where appropriate for consiseness. Most early character tags still need cleanup like this, sharing one character tag with dozens of different characters (don't get me started on Sheila....)

All of them? I can't find a single image under that tag that isn't Disney's Stitch. Except maybe this one:
post #62045

I'm not entirely sure what Conker meant when he brought up 'other characters'.

Because when we had this conversation on the stitch tag when this last came up. There are a few creepy looking stitch named chars which actual stitches on their body but still called stitch. We need to nuke the stitch implies lilo_and_stitch as its bad tagging.

The reason we have stitch_(disney) is to not mistag other chars named stitch which have been uploaded here before.

What we need to do is get rid of the stitch implies lilo_and_stitch, and keep the stitch_(disnesy) tag so the name stitch can be used for other chars as it already has been. After that we just need to clean up the tags a bit, not nuke the useful ones.

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Disney's Stitch has by far most posts, so I think it should remain as the main tag. And the less popular ones should be tagged as Stitch_(oc) or whatever.

Otherwise it'll just be an another tag that'll have to be cleaned up from time to time. I don't expect any normal user to tag them as Stitch_(Disney) instead of just Stitch. And if someone searches for Stitch, they're most likely looking for Disney's one.

No, just because a lot of images are missed taged does not mean we should change how we tag them. Also if we allis stitch then we will have normal chars named stitch tagged as disney and that will piss people off.

We should fix the tags when this mistake happens, and get rid of that bad allies thats on stitch already.

I guarantee you that 99.9% of the people that search for "stitch" on e621 are looking for Disney's Stitch, not anyone else's Stitch. There's no need to make things more complicated and less user-friendly just for the sake of being "correct".

Any other character named "Stitch" that isn't Disney's Stitch should probably have their tag changed to stitch_(character-owners-name).

We never had a tag like name_(char's_owner_name) that seems more less user friendly than anything.

Disney IS the character owner of Stitch. :| It's literally the exact same thing as saying stitch_(someone-else).

If I want to find Simba, I search for "Simba". I don't search for "Simba_(Disney)".

If I want to find Zelda, I search for "Zelda". I don't search for "Zelda_(Nintendo)".

To the best of my knowledge, our practice has always been to let the most popular use of a tag keep the tag name itself, and less popular uses have to have appropriate suffixes. It makes no sense to make Disney's Stitch harder to find on the site when it's the VAST majority of the posts that people want to see when they search for "Stitch" anyways.

I think it's a bit pointless to change the tag around when there are no stitch_(char-owner-name)s.

There are more than none, search stitch_(disney), iirc there were 19
