Unless you got your alias order mixed up.

???

They look right to me…?

No, never mind, I figured out what you're saying. Thought you meant that he had the wrong names aliased to the wrong nicknames, but it's that we shouldn't make an exception to the standard practice of using the original names.

No. You go with how they were originally called in Japan and that's that.

However, maybe alias the other way [claw -> balrog], etc. That'll keep in line with original names while giving an easier way for searching/tagging.

Is there a thing somewhere that shows what order you're supposed to do it? The instructions for creating an alias request use the terms "aaa" and "bbb" but don't say which is supposed to be which.

If you alias aaa -> bbb, you say "aaa is another name for bbb." Every time someone tags a post "aaa," Danbooru will tag it "bbb" instead. Every time someone searches for "aaa," Danbooru will automatically search for "bbb" instead.

create alias boxer_(street_fighter) -> m_bison
create alias claw_(street_fighter) -> balrog_(street_fighter)
create alias dictator_(street_fighter) -> vega_(street_fighter)
create alias vega -> vega_(street_fighter)
rename vega_(cosplay) -> vega_(street_fighter)_(cosplay)

It's been 31 years and people are STILL mixing them up.

Add a qualifier to Vega. There are multiple Vegas nowadays.

Done.

Given that we've moved several video game series to localized names, maybe Street Fighter should be up for consideration.

@Hillside_Moose

What would be the best way of going about this?

BUR #10859 has been approved by @Hillside_Moose.

create alias balrog_(street_fighter) -> vega_(street_fighter)
create alias vega -> dictator_(street_fighter)
create alias m_bison -> boxer_(street_fighter)

Balrog's a freebie since the qualified tag's empty, but the other two will need a stopgap.
