The tag alias #15777 yuu-gi-ou -> yuugiou has been rejected.

Reason: Other accepted aliases for the yuu-gi-ou tag include various (non-)hyphenisations of the official English romanisation: ie. yugioh and yu-gi-oh are both valid. Yet yuugiou isn't versus yuu-gi-ou. Might also want to include the exclamation point variant: yuugiou!

EDIT: The tag alias yuu-gi-ou -> yuugiou (forum #154076) has been rejected by @Type-kun.

Alright, let's make this clear...

Currently the main tag is this, with hyphens:

• yuu-gi-ou

(with other tags spelled this way: yuu-gi-ou r, yuu-gi-ou gx etc.)

---

Apparently you want to change the main name to this, without spaces or hyphens:

• yuugiou

(and apparently you didn't yet suggest doing the same with other tags, which would presumably result in: yuugiou r, yuugiou gx etc.)

---

That said, I'm not actually a fan of the status quo. I'd like to suggest a different name.

Of all possible spellings, I think the best one would be this, at least in my opinion:

• yuugi ou

(and naturally also yuugi ou r, yuugi ou gx etc.)

Because these are two words: "yuugi" (game) and "ou" (king).

We probably use "yuu-gi-ou" because the official logo has the kanji stylized with stars like this (遊☆戯☆王). But the normal version with stars seems common enough online.

For whatever it's worth, here are the Google search results with quotation marks:

"遊☆戯☆王" = 4,880,000 results
"遊戯王" = 39,300,000 results

In case it's relevant, the romanization "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is officially used in all regions, including the original Japanese.

At the very least, I wouldn't drop the hyphens. We keep stylistic punctuation in other titles as well (e.g. k-on! and hunter x hunter, the former of which being another copyright we've romanized in a nonstandard way).

• yuugiou

I don't want anything; I just noticed it in passing and it looked like an inconsistency with the rest of the aliases listed for the tag, so thought I'd mention it to whatever outcome. I don't know anything in detail about YGO so the existence of R, GX, et. al. didn't occur to me.

You've got the requested alias backwards if that's what you want. Should be yuugiou -> yuu-gi-ou.

I originally tried that, but it says the tag needs at least 50 posts.

The bulk update request #1939 has been rejected.

create alias yuugiou -> yuu-gi-ou

Reason: This seems to be what was originally intended then.

I don't think any more aliases is necessary, we already have yu-gi-ou!, yugioh!, yu-gi-oh!, yu-gi-oh, yuugioh, yugioh and yu-gi-ou aliased to yuu-gi-ou; autocomplete should take care of any misspelling at this point.
