Magia Record, Magical Girls and Alts

Posted under Tags

Lately I went through the Magireco tag (or rather, its Safe and currently active portion - I'm still planning on doing that for Questionable and Explicit sooner-or-later as well, though probably won't bother with deleted posts) to add the magical girl tag where it's missing. However, I sorta ran into an issue of tagging alts from the game. Namely, while the characters are technically transformed within them, they don't really look "magical girl"-y at all, for example Swimsuit alts and Haregi alts. See post #4322597, for example - within it, there are two girls who are transformed and wearing a kimono, and three who aren't. Would someone who doesn't know Magia Record be able to tell them apart? I doubt so. That's Madoka (pink) and Sayaka (blue), btw. Or post #4032582 - one MG, seven untransformed. The MG is Iroha - pink

I'm simply afraid I'm leaning too hard on canon tagging, in here, and that's why I'm kinda hesitant on this.

I made favgroup #14430 to compile all the alts from the game, to make re-tagging easier.

Additionally, I think I might need a tip - there are some dual units in the game (that is, alts that have two characters as one unit), and I don't know how to deal with them once I get around to making tags for all the alts, similar to Holy Mami - should I make two separate tags, like Alina Gray (Halloween ver.), Misono Karin (Halloween ver.), even though the alt is shared? Or a single tag, like Alina and Karin (Halloween ver.), disregarding that there are posts where the two are separated?

If it helps, here's a Puella Magi Wiki page that lists all the alts and characters.

I think the standard in these situations is just to make two separate tags. Makes precise searches easier, so it's what I'd agree with in any case.

Okay, then question number two (three?) - should I go with tag names like character_name_(alt), or character_name_(alt_ver.)? Might sound trivial, but there are, for example, swimsuit alts, like Tamaki Iroha (Swimsuit ver.), where I'm afraid just tagging it as (swimsuit) could lead to a mass of mistagging - Iroha has like four official swimsuits (only one of them is an alt), and probably a ton of fanmade ones, so people who know the series less could assume it's just a tag for when she's in a swimsuit, not *this* specific swimsuit (similar applies to other characters, obviously).

rename miki_sayaka_(swimsuit_ver.) -> miki_sayaka_(surfer_ver.)
rename togame_momoko_(sister) -> togame_momoko_(sister_ver.)
create alias rena-chan_(idol_ver.) -> minami_rena_(idol_ver.)
create alias rumor_of_the_nameless_artificial_intelligence -> ai-chan_(magia_record)
create alias mannenzakura_no_uwasa -> eternal_sakura
create alias hiiragi_sakurako -> eternal_sakura
create alias mannenzakura_no_uwasa_(swimsuit_ver.) -> eternal_sakura_(swimsuit_ver.)
create alias holy_alina_(magia_record) -> holy_alina
rename yume_ulala -> yume_urara
rename natsu_ryoko -> natsu_ryouko

1st rename because I accidentally messed up the name, 2nd to standardize.
Aliases mostly because there are no official translations for names anymore.
The last few are because of different romanizations.

I will probably also do a BUR for alts and academy uniform implications some day, but that day ain't today yet.

I was eventually going to expand those tags, but if the aliases ain't needed, then I guess that just means less pressure on me. Though, I'm thinking more about uploaders, since there've been cases already of a character with multiple names having two chartags, like Ai-chan/Uwasa of the Anonymous Artificial Intelligence or Eternal Sakura/Mannenzakura no Uwasa, maybe.

BUR #10799 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias ryuugasaki_academy_uniform -> ryuugasaki_academy_school_uniform
create alias shirome_school_uniform -> shiraha_private_academy_school_uniform
create alias eliza_celjska -> elisa_celjska
rename yuki_maria -> yuki_maria_(madoka_magica)

The first one I missed, the second is fixing an old mis-romanization, and the third is merging two tags for the same character, qualifying Yuki Maria since apparently there is another.

Aliases since the official names of the units don't start with their family/given names, and the first batch of implications.
