I've updated BUR #3170 to:

  • Standardize on *_(xenoblade) as the qualifier for all Xenoblade Chronicles 2 characters.
  • Use aliases for most characters, except for characters whose name didn't change (e.g. renaming Rex (Xenoblade 2) to Rex (Xenoblade) wasn't an alias because all we changed was the qualifier).

I checked them, they're all good, but bana_(xenoblade) should be bana_(xenoblade 2). In the first game there's an important sidequest NPC that has the same name as the much more important XB2 character. I'm pretty sure there are a couple other characters that need the *_2 qualifier, i'll have to check.

BUR #3367 has been approved by @evazion.

rename muimui_(xenoblade) -> muimui_(xenoblade_2)
rename bana_(xenoblade) -> bana_(xenoblade_2)

Muimui has a XBX counterpart, too.

I don't think there are other cases, but in case i'll throw a BUR here later.
By the way, why do some aliases retain the *_2 qualifier despite having no characters with identical names, like homura_(xenoblade_2)? Wouldn't it have been better to rename it to pyra and then alias homura_(xenoblade), for consistency?

The old tag was called Homura (Xenoblade 2), not Homura (Xenoblade), so that's what the alias is called. The purpose of the alias is to redirect anyone who tries to use the old tag to the new tag. For example, people from other boorus that still use Homura (Xenoblade 2) might try to search or tag posts with Homura (Xenoblade 2), not Homura (Xenoblade). The qualifier in the alias won't normally be seen except if you type Homura in autocomplete, so it doesn't otherwise matter too much.

BUR #3415 has been approved by @evazion.

create implication poppi_alpha_(xenoblade) -> poppi_(xenoblade)
create implication poppi_qt_(xenoblade) -> poppi_(xenoblade)
create implication poppi_qtpi_(xenoblade) -> poppi_(xenoblade)
create implication nia_(blade)_(xenoblade) -> nia_(xenoblade)

A few implications to be restored.
