Tag Alias: dark_saber -> saber_alter

Because not only one, but at least three games says so. This includes but is not limited to: "Fate/Unlimited Codes (Portable)", "Fate/tiger colosseum", and "Fate/tiger colosseum Upper"

Aboust costume tag:

On a related note, Saber Lily is just a costume (AFAIK), while SaberLion (or Saber Lion) is a completely different character by herself, as noted in "Fate/tiger colosseum Upper". Borne from Tora Seihai, and is a smaller Saber with a will and personality of her own. Her relationship to Saber is that of sisters (as of Upper). Think of an imouto version of Saber or something. >_<

Do "special costumes" get their own tags, like Saber Lily?

I played Fate/unlimited codes a bit, and Saber Lily is just an extra costume unlocked at some point. And as noted with the "alternate_costume" wiki, this should not get a "saber_lily" tag, but an "alternate_costume" tag instead, if we are to follow things as they are.

(tl;dr = remove saber_lily tag, add alternate_costume tag.)

However, since these kind of costumes are officialy given a name (her name changes even in the game, but not the story, moves or even tone of voice) and are popular enough *cough81postscough*, maybe we should reconsider a convention similar to the cosplay one. How that will go, I dunno.

Or we could just leave it be as it is right now, with "saber_lily" as its own character tag, ignore the "alternate_costume" tag, while still tagged with "saber". (We ignore the "alternate_costume" tag for these "officially named" costumes.)

Now that you've posted it and gotten it off your chest, you can take time to edit links into it, no?

What's the rush? Anyway, I disagree with everything you proposed.

I disagree with removing the saber_lily tag. I think there is mixed opinion on having tags for special outfits, but I personally think it's fine (so long as it's highly distinguishable).

If it's an issue of the tag making it seem as if saber_lily was a separate character, then the tag should simply just be reverted to a general tag to emphasize that the tag is in reference to the outfit and not the character. Perhaps add the implication alternate_costume to it too. The tag already implicates the character tag Saber.

I love how people make active efforts to make the tag system less useful than it is.

I have no opinion on the alias but the system should stay this way.

Sorry to bump, but it seems like the dark_saber -> saber_alter thing got lost in the alternate_costume talk, so I'd like to bring it back up.

I've added saber_alter and fixed the implication.
