[REJECTED] Animal Crossing English-to-Japanese character names

Posted under Tags

The bulk update request #2050 has been rejected.

Reason: Alias English Animal Crossing names to their Japanesse ones. Update Ansoni to Anthony since it makes more sense, and the rest of the updates change English names to their Japanese names. This bulk request is only for special characters and those with 4+ tagged images, but I may do more later.

edit 1:

  • Fixed Mable to Mabel.
  • Fixed the katie (doutsu no mori) tag to katie (animal crossing)
  • Fixed villager name from alias to update. If we want consistency with tags like kyon no imouto, we'll need to use the Japanese name Murabito from Super Smash Bros. even though it's less memorable.
  • Maigo-chan is a name used for Maiko-chan earlier in the series.
  • At least one tag (rakosuke for example) has the series disambiguation even though it's the only tag with that character's name. There will need to be some consistency on this.

EDIT: This bulk update request is pending automatic rejection in 5 days.

Is this really necessary? Most these are really small tags, they can easily be moved manually.

As for the Villager, mass updating to Murabito seems like a bad idea since he has 200+ tagged posts, maybe an alias would be better. But even then, will changing the tag to Murabito do any good? Murabito/Villager sounds more like a title than a name, and I don't think it being in English is inconsistent: we have admiral (kantai collection) instead of teitoku (kantai collection) for example. It seems like particular change would make things harder for people without really bringing any good.

I wouldn’t mind, considering there are some villagers that never had official English names.

I don't mind having most characters' tags in japanese (with en->jp aliases if necessary) at all, I just feel that changing the Villager's tag is kinda overkill.
