alias series_connection -> in-franchise_crossover

Posted under Tags

I will admit fault for deciding to unilaterally move series connection to in-franchise crossover (and dragging Unbreakable into this by having him clean up the banned posts under the tag), but I would like to at least explain my reasoning for moving it manually rather than making an alias.

Series connection was a wiki-less tag that wasn't linked in any other wiki and was primarily being used for one copyright, PreCure, by one specific user (that being BrokenEagle), in a way that was functionally indistinguishable from in-franchise crossover in terms of taggability. So, I manually moved everything from the tag over to the tag that's actually being used. But I opted out of making an alias because I could see people raising an argument that the tag should exist, but as a distinctly separate tag.

As it stands right now, in-franchise crossover is explicitly for "non-canonical" crossovers, even if the tag right now might not be used exclusively in that sense, meaning that it leaves a tag open for "canonical" crossovers, crossovers that can't be covered by way of copyright tags because the crossover occurred in one random episode of the anime or random chapter of the manga or light novel or whatever. As such, series connection could be resurrected with a far clearer and more distinct use from in-franchise crossover. If this alias goes through, then I say the wiki for in-franchise crossover should be updated (probably also dealing with the other concerns raised about its definition in the original topic that turned it into a tag).

BUR #21157 has been rejected.

create alias zookeepers -> zookeepers_(diva)
create alias polar_bear_keeper_(zookeepers) -> polar_bear_keeper_(diva)
create alias seal_keeper_(zookeepers) -> seal_keeper_(diva)
create alias penguin_keeper_(zookeepers) -> penguin_keeper_(diva)
create alias survey_girl_(zookeepers) -> survey_girl_(diva)
create alias urban_area_zookeeper_(zookeepers) -> urban_area_zookeeper_(diva)

In order to make character tags for Zookeepers (which Diva recently started uploading on twitter as well) consistent with Little Nuns.
