Reorganize Cutie Honey/Kisaragi Honey

Posted under Tags

BUR #35096 has been rejected.

rename kisaragi_honey -> kisaragi_honey_(original)
create implication kisaragi_honey_(original) -> kisaragi_honey
create implication cutie_honey_(character) -> kisaragi_honey

These tags:
cutie_honey_(character)
kisaragi_honey
cover two different forms of the same character, although neither of them implicate each other. They have different appearances, and are often drawn both together and separately, but it's still the same person. I think it's useful for them to have separate tags due to their differing appearances, but I still think they should be tied together in some way.

Sailor Moon and Precure are fair points, I hadn't checked those for comparison. I was thinking of something similar to how kaname_madoka_(magical_girl) implies kaname_madoka. I guess magical girls are a bit more inconsistent than I'd realized. With that in mind, I'm not entirely opposed to just having cutie_honey_(character) imply kisaragi_honey... although now I'm wondering if the Sailor Moon and Precure tags should have similar implications as well.

Rejecting this for consistency with other magical girl tagging. We've discussed how to tag magical girls a bunch before but never came to a definitive conclusion. I think keeping the civilian form and the magical girl form totally separate is probably the easiest thing to do. It's slightly inconvenient if you want to search for Kisaragi Honey and Cutie Honey at the same time, but it's not that inconvenient to search for both tags separately.

Yeah, I'd only checked the madoka tags for comparison before making this, so I didn't realize just how many magical girls were tagged this way. So, if I'm understanding this correctly: if a character's magical girl form has a separate name, then they're treated as being a completely separate character. So the only reason kaname_madoka_(magical_girl) implies kaname_madoka is because she doesn't have a separate name? Is that right?
