Would it be better to have these gentags instead of chartags? I'm sure as this series becomes more popular and it gets more posts, most of them will end up with double the necessary amount of chartags without a category change.

Looking at similar examples from other series, crisis_management_form_(machimazo) is a gentag while ultimate_madoka is a chartag. I don't know which is preferable or whether each one has certain nuances to justify the discrepancy, but based on previous threads, I would think we would favor gentags over chartags.

Ultimate Madoka is a character tag because it's a variant of Kaname Madoka. No reason for it to be a general tag when it's for an appearance belonging to a single character.

Crisis Management Form (machimazo) seems like it's a general tag because two different characters wear it, and because it's also being used for a phrase she says to transform into the outfit. That tag may need looking at.

The rest of these appear to be alternate personas of specific characters, so they fit the same criteria as Ultimate Madoka. If any of them are actually just different tags for identical or at least very similar looking outfits, then they might be better off combined into a single gentag, but I'm not familiar with series so I couldn't say.

The rule of thumb for general tags is generally "Does it apply to more than one character?" If yes, then it should be a general tag.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.

As far as I know, these forms are character-specific, so they should stay chartags.
