Tag updates: remove disambiguations from Fire Emblem Three Houses character tags

Posted under Tags

BUR #2063 has been approved by @Hillside_Moose.

mass update edelgard_von_hresvelgr_(fire_emblem) -> char:edelgard_von_hresvelg
mass update dimitri_alexandre_bladud_(fire_emblem) -> char:dimitri_alexandre_bladud
mass update claude_von_regan_(fire_emblem) -> char:claude_von_regan

Reason: The disambiguations seem unnecessary for what looks to be unique names.

EDIT: The bulk update request #2063 (forum #158537) has been approved by @Hillside_Moose.

While HM may have made that decision a month ago, a quick scan of post histories show Edelgard's tag was created months ago with the disambiguation included to begin with. I assume Dimitri and Claude are the same.

While the chances of any other characters having those same names is almost nonexistent, standardized tagging rules say that all Fire Emblem characters should get the "_(fire_emblem)" on their tag. Standardized tagging is what makes tags worthwhile, and we should only make exceptions when they're absolutely necessary.

Also, it appears that Edelgard's last name is officially spelled "Hresvelg" rather than "Hresvelgr", so the tag should be edelgard_von_hresvelg_(fire_emblem).

While that is true, i don't think it counts for full names. For example, Fate utilizes standardized tagging, but Olga Marie Animusphere doesn't have the _(fate) suffix.

When I said "all names required a qualifier, including unique names", I was referring to singular names, ranging from "Chrom" (unique) to "Ike" (common). Up until Three Houses, characters traditionally didn't have surnames, which their given (and only) name could potentially come into conflict with other copyrights or even within the franchise (as with Robin/Tobin).

There are some unfortunate cases where even the full name needs to be qualified (a hungry, exercising kogal comes to mind), but they're very rare and we'll deal with them as needed.
