Arknights Character name aliases

Pozëmka's transliteration is still "Pozyomka". (Gavial's english VA mistakenly pronounces it as Pozemka, but Pozëmka's VA pronounces it as Pozyomka.) I'd suggest a reverse alias since we already did this with umlauts in Azur Lane (forum #207808).

A reverse alias is fine too. I went this way not because of pronounciation but literally because EN spelt it Pozëmka and tags can't have accents.

create alias lin_yuhsia_(arknights) -> lin_(arknights)

As a playable character, she simply goes by "Lin" (omitting her surname); simplifying to that name to maintain consistency among all other playable Operators.

create alias fire_whistle_(arknights) -> firewhistle_(arknights)

When released in the game proper, her name is rendered without the space.

Wouldn’t a rename for Firewhistle be enough? An alias seems overkill.

Edit: Actually, even a rename BUR is overkill, I just renamed the tag by hand really quick. The autocomplete from the alias doesn't serve any purpose either, since 99% of people will only ever know the name Firewhistle without a space anyway.

A rename is never overkill because it simply automates the process of moving a tag by hand. In particular in this case it would have renamed the existing wiki page instead of marking it as deleted and creating a new one.

remove alias niang_(arknights) -> liang_xun_(arknights)

Doesn't really matter where the original came from if that's what people have been calling him for the last six months. Unless there is another Arknights character named "Niang" there is no benefit to using a rename and the downside of people no longer being able to find him by the name he was known as for long.

Well it’s been 7 months, it should be safe to get rid of that typo now.

I really do not understand what this aversion to having aliases is.

We generally don't keep typo alias and I don't see why we need to keep this one.

rename mephisto_(the_singer)_(arknights) -> mephisto_the_singer_(arknights)

Not sure why this got extra parentheses. In game it's Mephisto, 'The Singer' but commas are not allowed in tags and since most other character tags omit the apostrophes/quotation marks I'm leaving them out for consistency.

Compare with tags like ch'en the holungday etc.

create alias horheyer_(arknights) -> ho'olheyak_(arknights)

How it's localised in EN, wtf.
