Officially, there's no space between "Bei" and "Fong". Opal is only referred by her given name, she has no surname. Also, one of the Beifong twins is named Wing, not Wu; and he and his brother have no surname, like Opal. Baatar is Suyin's husband, he married into her family without taking her surname.

I agree with changing "Bei Fong" to "Beifong". I'm unsure about removing the surnames from Opal, Wei, and Wing, as it seems inconsistent.

I also think the qualifier for Legend of Korra characters could just be "*_(avatar)", unless there are multiple characters with the same name in the franchise.

“Avatar” is too ambiguous. There’s another well-known franchise with the same name, not to mention things like online avatars. If we’re going to qualify them, I think we should use “Avatar Legends” to match the umbrella copytag.

We'll have to shuffle around all the other chartags currently just qualified with Avatar, then.
