Tag Alias: udon and omar_dogan

Aliasing udon to omar_dogan.

Reason: Same artist. Latter seems to be the proper artist name.

Disagree. Udon is a comic book company, and Dogan is one of the artists working for them. Not all of the works under the udon tag are Dogan's work either.

Disregard then, I suck cocks.

I figured it was the company based on the marks on some works. But at a glance it looked like he was the only artist (whose work has been uploaded, anyways) and people were mistagging thinking 'udon' was the artist handle.

Speaking of which, I'd like udon moved to udon_(artist), as udon is the generic name of a noodle dish and it's gonna clash sooner or later.

Not necessarily. It might happen, or it might not happen. Udon know.

If we were gonna qualify it, wouldn't udon_(circle) or udon_(comic_company) be more correct anyways?

Consistency vs specificity, I guess. Caryo is actually multiple artists too, but it's not a circle tag or anything, and it'd be problematic to separate them. We're pretty consistent with _(artist) as the qualifier. Though caryo isn't the best example I guess, as it's not qualified.

On the other hand, I guess it wouldn't hurt anything to use _(circle). I dunno, talk about it more, I'll decide later.

I would vote for udon_(comic_company) just for the sake of clarity, although I would settle for _(circle). I think that qualifiers, when used, should be accurate as to what the tag is, otherwise they aren't really preforming their function, you know?

_(artist) is of course most popular, but that's because usually when an artist tag requires a qualifier it's the standard singular artist. That doesn't mean that whenever an artist tag needs qualifying it should automatically get _(artist). Especially in these cases where it's a company or circle rather than one artist.

Except that no-one's gonna type "udon_(comic_company)".

I would if I knew what I was searching for. Or I'd try one of the individual artist names. It would show as a suggestion as long as the udon tag didn't get huge anyways.

There's still the question of whether it should be qualified at all. I vote "useful although presently unnecessary", which is a fancy way of saying "I don't care as long as whatever's done is done properly".

"Udon" is the name of a dish. The tag being actually for a circle is confusing. We should qualify it because it generates conflicts with the real-world concept of "udon", without us needing any conflicting tags. And as for typing, I'm more concerned about taggers than searchers, I really don't care how long and awkward to type the tags you search for are.

We could always make an alias shortcut I suppose, like udon_cc or something.

Long tags are why I love wildcards (and part of why I complained when wildcard searches were ). I can type the first part and end with * and just pick the tag from the list, or a relevant image, etc. Thus even long tags aren't so bad.

Anyways, it should be qualified somehow, and it sounds like it's not a doujin circle so I guess circle is out...? How about just _(company)?

Are * searches in tag edit box fixed? They used to generate matching hits in "Related tags", but then they stopped to.

Interesting, I never knew that... I know it works in danbooruup (though I have to stay on FF2) but I'd never tried it in the edit box.
