Aliasing walpurgis_no_yoru_(madoka_magica) -> walpurgisnacht_(madoka_magica).

Reason: Walpurgisnacht is the original German name, and it's pretty clear that it's what's meant. "no yoru" is basically a direct translation to make it more accessible for the Japanese viewer.

But the original concept is called Walpurgisnacht, and we default to using the original language's names where possible.

FWIW, when I was translating some Madoka comics, I instinctively went with "Walpurgisnacht". Personally, I don't really care either way, but yeah...
