True, yeah - but I do think “Opaline Arcana” should be added as an alias.

Why not? Wouldnt it be better for jazz hooves tag to be her full name, so that the generationg tag isnt needed?

Hey for what it’s worth, the names Misty Brightdawn and Opaline Arcana have become mentioned officially in a recent book.
I would link the source uploads on derpibooru but they were deleted. Trust me though.
(Opaline Arcana was used by a passage in the book that was written by her, too! So that’s pretty definitive.)
Regardless, maybe it’s time to use the full names now.

That’s the one, yup.
In case it gets removed again, I’ve saved it.
And here’s the Opaline Arcana one

A full page from a book, copyright stuff.
Usually that applies to comic scans, but I guess full pages of primarily text too.

This character is named Score in the G1 episode, “Somnambula” but is named Quarterback in merchandise. Up to you which name takes priority.
Also, score (g4) <=> quarterback

The toys always do for G1, it’s not merchandise, the show is basically just an ad.
Now, Score is his name in the UK and some other regions, but since American names take priority, I aliased to that.
I fixed it, either way.

Thanks for the swift response! Here’s a few more that need merging whenever you have the time.

, there ought to be a new tag split off to identify posts that reference the well-known animation called “bad apple”. Background Pony #487E

Surprise from g4 (the wonderbolt) and surprise from g1 are two different characters. Those tags should not be merged.

It’s bogus that an unnamed Spitfire recolour who is literally never even in the foreground gets the default tag but the actual character is relegated to disambiguation.

That’s definitely preferable, but I don’t feel the G4 version is noteworthy enough to deserve her own tag anyway.

I mean she’s one of the few main Wonderbolts along with Spitfire, Soarin’, and Fleetfoot so she’s pretty notable. But even if she wasn’t that shouldn’t matter, G4 Surprise and G1 Surprise are different characters that people would want to search up separately and so deserve individual tags irregardless of how important either of those characters are.

+1 for utilizing surprise (g4). Even though the site has a “g4 primary, every other gen secondary” focus, there is a precedent for character names that are minor in G4 getting the suffix.
However, as the description for surprise currently says: “In G4, a Wonderbolt pony, often drawn as a white/blonde pegasus recolor of Pinkie Pie.” Yet, there are a lot of cases where a pegasus G4 Pinkie Pie recolor is tagged “g1”. Neither gen Surprise looks like that (unless you imagine the wind-blown Wonderbolts manestyle is temporary) and it seems like that design might be a G1-to-G4 interpretation or a G4-alternate-manestyle interpretation on an artist-to-artist basis… So, how should that be handled in tagging?
