Tag alias: Iskandar_(fate) -> rider_(fate/zero)

BUR #2597 has been rejected.

create alias iskandar_(fate) -> rider_(fate/zero)

"Iskandar" is the persian/eastern spelling of Alexandar, and it is the only name he goes by in the fandom and especially in FGO.
I'm surprised he didn't get this alias sooner.

Isn't this a spoiler?

If we want to worry about that, then look at the "*_(fate)_(all)" tags, which nullify the "spoiler protection" of tags such as saber, lancer, etc (which really need some standardization).

I think the cat's out of the bag on worrying about a spoiler for an 8 year old show (even older if you count the novels)

All the characters names in FGO are always visible and aren't hidden, and like others said the show is 8 years old. I don't think I've seen anyone call him Fate zero rider other than here tbh, so the name is very confusing.

There's also to be said that he reveals his true name very early on in the story.
But yeah, if this tag needs to change, the others should as well.
I'm against late-arrival spoilers though, and there isn't a clear rule about character tagging.

Iskandar's identity was never a secret from the viewer or other characters. He announced it to everyone at the first opportunity. In fact most of the F/Z identities were given away relatively easily.

Iskander should be the primary tag if it's the name everyone uses. This sounds like a holdover from the days before topic #13728 when we still used class names over true names to try to avoid spoilers (even "spoilers" like this that were given away freely).

Proposing the other way around.

I've kinda given up on Fate spoilers after F/GO clearly dominates over the VNs now.

There's to be said that FGO is making an effort to hide names now, so it's still a ?
Also, if we're going to update iskandar, everyonelse should be updated too.

I'll let someone else make a request for the other *_(fate/zero) characters.
