Add space to Uma Musume tags (umamusume -> uma_musume)

BUR #5823 has been rejected.

By far the most common romanization despite no English translation of the game, and it seems they're intended as separate words as in "horse girls". There are only a few counterexamples, like Crunchyroll's spelling for the anime.

It would be better to rename instead of alias, at least for the characters with less than 200 posts.

The rename option exists to avoid aliasing ambiguous tags, it's not meant to always be the default.
In fact, for extremely popular franchises you should always default to aliases unless they're ambiguous, or the tag is extremely small, because sources external to danbooru are much slower than us at updating references, and we can't expect casual users to keep track of every tag move we make.

In any case, is there any official source that points to the separate version? Otherwise crunchyroll is the closest to official that we have.

Spacing is often conflicting in romanizations

By far the most common romanization despite no English translation of the game, and it seems they're intended as separate words as in "horse girls". There are only a few counterexamples, like Crunchyroll's spelling for the anime.

Likely our current (and Crunchyroll's) spelling is that way because most of the other popular Foomusume get romanized as one word without spaces. e.g. kanmusu, monmusu, ikamusume. "Uma" likewise is also short enough to squeeze in.

Overall ambivalent about the change. I suppose it is more "correct" in the "official-preferred romanization" sense of things, but fans currently still use both spellings, and umamusume without the space/underscore is overall easier to type for tags and wikis. And personally also looks 'nicer' to me because I tend to parse it as one word.

One word is official on the Japanese website, as seen with the romanized text "UMAMUSUME PROJECT". Also on the website for the first anime season with "UMAMUSUME PRETTY DERBY". Also the anime Twitter account linked above has it romanized without space in the banner image and the images posted of the season 2 BD release are the same.

Thanks for bringing this up. Changing vote to a hard "no" then.
