IMO, New California Republic, Brotherhood of Steel, Enclave and Caesar's Legion should be character tags, the same reason why Adeptus Astartes, Adepta Sororitas, Astra Militarum, are character tags.
Hiding the faction tags in general, I feel, makes it harder to see for someone who wants to learn about these factions but their eyes glaze over all the other tags. See below how the 40k stuff tags their factions.

Actually, you know what? After having a lot of time to think about it, Adeptus Astartes, and all of the other factions, should be Gen tags. The generic members of the factions should be using character tags like Space Marine (warhammer 40k), instead of it being aliased to Adeptus Astartes.
It's still ridiculous that something like https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/7090830 has three character tags for a single person, and this isn't a gacha game 30 skins/alts situation. If certain users are so dead set on tagging every single post with all of the faction tags, so that the generic members are harder to search for because the named characters are poisoning the results, then tags that are clearly designated for use specifically on the generic members should be created and everything else should be a general tag.
I don't care about users "learning" about factions and characters. Danbooru shouldn't care about that when creating and using tags. That's what fan wikis are for. Danbooru is not a fan wiki. Tags should do what they're supposed to do how they're supposed to do it, instead of people constantly trying to argue that tags should be in certain categories for nonsense reasons. All of the tags named after factions should be general tags, full stop.
Benefit of making this change is that all the Adeptus Astartes subfactions would be able to implicate Adeptus Astartes, unless there's some reason that wouldn't work. Same with the other factions.
