Adding Yae Miko's first name to tag

Posted under Tags

BUR #8520 has been approved by @Hillside_Moose.

create alias yae_(genshin_impact) -> yae_miko

For a while it was believed Miko's name was just "Yae," but her full name was revealed to be "Yae Miko" [Last First] a few months ago. I believe renaming would be better but this is the second best option.

We should not, imho.
We already tried changing the Genshin chartag names to their full names when they were revealed, but we rescinded that change not long afterward and there's not been problems since. Rather than turn the existing Yae chartag as an alias, the BUR should have been done in reverse: Yae Miko is aliased to the existing Genshin Yae chartag.

I believe the general stance we've been taken as of recently is to go off of what they're named in game, whether it be just first name or full name and add a qualifier as needed. Once she's out we could probably bring this back up then. Hence why Kazuha, Kokomi and Ayaka have their full name in their tag.

While I have full confidence that they are going to use the full name as her in game name (they did it for all the other Inazumans), it is too early to pull this. Wait for her to hit release, as beta's and datamines can easily be subject to last minute changes.

Yeah, all the characters that are fully named in-game (as in, front and centre, not just some passing mention in an obscure lore entry) have full name tags. Kamisato Ayaka, Kaedehara Kazuha, Arataki Itto, Kujou Sara, Raiden Shogun, Sangonomiya Kokomi. These all have their full names displayed everywhere including even the party UI on the right of the screen, which will probably be the case for Yae too.

Pretty much this, although they've already officially started calling her Yae Miko in things like marketing as well as wikis making the change, just like the other full-named characters, so I doubt that's going to change when she releases.

This has got me thinking about the Blue Archive tags now, I picked up the game recently and was surprised that every character I encountered so far had a full name - that was then useless when I tried to search for them here since we're using the givenname_(qualifier) system for it's characters without at least utility aliases for the full names.

This was brought up before in the past but was shot down because it was a similar case with how we didn't want to deal with genshin characters at the time, even though it's the system we're using now aka going off of what they're named in game. Maybe you could bring it back up now that we have a somewhat established way of tagging now/existing genshin characters.

Yeah, BA definitely needs at the very least utility aliases because it's nothing like the Genshin case, considering every character has a full name and it's right there in their profile and used by the community. But anyway, that's for the other thread.

Yae is usually a first name.
Miko means priestess. So it may not be her name, but more of her title. She's also known as Guuji or something, which means head priestess.

The Miko in Yae Miko is 神子, not 巫女 (priestess). Guuji is a title.
