Modules

Is there any real reason for the Project Diva modules to be gentags when they're character specific skins? List of Project Diva Modules

I'm not understanding why we have something like heart_hunter_(module) over hatsune_miku_(heart_hunter).

Do they just predate costume chartags?

Ye, they predated the costume chartags and was brought up in topic #20828

I've been considering doing a BUR to update them but I've came across some issues if we were to update them chartags. (eg. some modules are based on songs and predate DIVA, weather to use English name or Japanese name, and some are from Project Mirai).

BUR #32559 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

A batch of Miku modules to test the waters. Modules in Project DIVA are typically character-specific costumes, but are currently gentags as they predate costume tagging standards.

Can't imply Hatsune Miku (Ribbon Girl) until the alias goes through since it already has posts but no wiki.

To be frank, even if we had any reason not to turn these into character tags, their current naming scheme is atrocious. (Module) tells you absolutely nothing about what the tag is actually referring to and they're all common ambiguous terms.

This has been a long time coming. Probably best to turn them into character tags. As far as the fandom is concerned, Project DIVA modules function more-or-less like individual characters. I felt a bit of hesitancy since there are situations where a different character wears another's module but those are far and few in-between and can just be considered cosplay.

Glancing through the current List of Project DIVA modules, the current names feel fine as is. Most of the modules are originally Western names/words in the first place.

The main problem I see are modules with extremely generic names (i.e "Angel", "Cute", "Dancer", etc) being very ambiguous and also possibly conflicting with possible future tag names. In such cases, I suggest appending "module" to them. e.g. Hatsune Miku (Angel module). For consistency's sake, it might even be better to do so for all modules.

P.S. That's gonna be a crapton of implications!

To be fair, Miku already has a crapton of implications. Given she's Miku, though, it makes sense, lol.

I agree with you on the ambiguous names, which is why I chose to start with common less ambiguous ones rather than just going down the list, so it could be hashed out what to do with the ambiguous names.

Cute (module) also would have to be split because it has a costume for both Rin and Miku.

create implication hatsune_miku_(ribbon_girl) -> hatsune_miku

Will work on more of these later but here's the one that couldn't be implied in the same BUR.

Some non-ambiguous Mikus. I'm sort of skimming over anything like Angel (module) that would be ambiguous even in the new format, at least for the moment.

Edit: Woops, removed Conflict (module) because it needs to be split, it includes the Luka module too.

BUR #33450 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create implication hatsune_miku_(sonic_style) -> hatsune_miku

For some reason this one wasn't tagged despite it being a distinct outfit design from just "Sonic cosplay" (and Space Channel 39 is tagged).
