Arknights - Kristen's name alias

Posted under Tags

BUR #20903 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias kirsten_(arknights) -> kristen_(arknights)

The character's name in the official english translation is "Kristen".
I have no idea where Kirsten came up, probably a mistranslation.
Character wiki
Since it would be correct to create an alias anyway, might as well make the official name the main tag.

Edit: I'm afraid I forgot to enter the "char:" before the new tag, I apologise for the confusion but it is the first time I have done such a BUR, next time I will be more careful.
I cannot edit it, I kindly ask an admin to do so (if possible).

If this is approved, the tag type should automatically be changed to character, no worries.

Ah, all right, I thought that was how it worked, but not seeing the green tag worried me.
I have now also found the page where to edit the BUR, but it gave me an error with the "char:", now I understand why.
Thanks :)

This isn't a mistranslation, it's inconsistency on HG/Yostar's behalf. Kirsten was how it was initially translated, and they've given inconsistent translations in official media. Prior to 2023-07-13, she was called Kirsten in the English client.

I see... It seems that the EN localisation team has caused some confusion.
But the official name is now "Kristen Wright", both in CN, JP, Global, KR...
and considering the Lone Trail patch is coming out tomorrow (Global/JP), imho, the alias would still need to be added.
It seems to me a similar issue to the Jesselton one.

The alias is fine, I was just explaining why I named the tag that way when I made it.

I thank you for your explanation
