Aliasing tom_nook -> tom_nook_(Animal_Crossing).

Reason: Because it's the same character. No?

I mean, keeping with the tagging format for names: Charname_(Company_where_it_belongs)

Also because I just found it :)

The _(*) part of tags is only supposed to be to prevent confusion where more than one meaning could fall under the same tag.

For example:
Hammer_(character) vs hammer
or
waffles vs waffles_(character)
or
Mike_(artist) vs Mike_(bcb) vs Mike_(twokinds)

Excessive _(*) additions to tags is unneeded and wastes time typing.

We have copyright tags for the animal_crossing part.

So, it's okay to have it like that? Or is preferred when the name is more common?

The alias ought to go the other way around.

Common names get them because it's assumed that it will be an issue later.
Until another tom_nook comes along, the tag should just be tom_nook.

Oh yeah, forgot, disregard the alias :P

For example post #339553. It has the names Apollo and Bob. Should I change them to Apollo_(Animal_Crossing) and Bob_(Animal_Crossing)? (say yes and I'll click "Save Changes" :P )

Bob definitely.
Apollo, I'd say common enough personally.
Judgement call on your part though, could go either way in theory.

My judgement, huh? Then both get the "Fred_(wasd)" tag! ^o^
