Remove Midna+spoiler

If the posts under midna spoilers are actually spoilers, why would you want to remove the spoilers tag from them?

I don't that post necessarily implies the spoilers tag should be removed, just that searching for it shouldn't be the only way to find pictures of her very distinct non-impish form.

I would support the creation of a specific tag for that form, but I think that tag should imply spoilers.

Character tags only imply other character tags by matter of policy (unless you didn't mean literally imply, in that case carry on.)

Nothing should imply spoilers. "Here's a list of tags that are spoilers:" listed right on the spoilers wiki. Terrible.

Spoilers would be a logical exception, since some characters are inherently spoilers. For example...
Ultimate Madoka
...but you have a pretty logical counterpoint to that one on different grounds.

Yeah, I didn't think of that. That's a good reason not to.

Also, it's worth noting that character tags can (and should) imply copyright tags. If your point was general tags, then I'd agree in the general case. The only two I can think of that I can't think of exceptions for would be spoiler (already logically argued against due to limitations of the Wiki) and genderswap for characters like Kyonko.

Creating implications for 64000 characters will drive whoever does it insane. The benefits are minimal at best with related tags and the ability to search chartags:>=1 copytags:0 exist. There's also an 80+% chance that it will break the site as well.

God forbid we ever have to move a character or copyright and have to move every single implication.

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's worth putting that much effort into. There's just something like an itch you can't scratch to have all these unrecognized implications sitting around in the system that offends the OO programmer in me. I'll get over it.

Anyways, I think we're getting off-topic here, which is my fault. +1 for creating a tag specifically for Midna's alternate form.

I don't have a preference on the specific tag but some manner of tag for her humanoid form would be fine.

Her true form has no name, she's just restored to her true body, which is that of her race, the Twili. So yes I agree now that a qualifier would be better.

+1 for midna_(true) instead.

As I asked earlier, why did you remove the spoilers tag from all of those posts when adding the tag?

Is it not redundant?

Midna's true form is still a spoiler to people browsing the midna tag regardless of there being a dedicated tag to said form or not.

If someone blacklists just "spoilers" they should not see spoiler posts. What you seem to be asking is for everyone to blacklist both "spoilers" and "midna_(true)". But the people who have heard of "midna_(true)" already know about that particular spoiler, so there's no point in them blacklisting it, while the people who haven't heard of the tag are the one's who would want to blacklist those posts.
