Necessary qualifiers. Also renames with a standardized format.

I don't understand why revenant is being aliased to the Doom version and not deprecated if it's ambiguous to begin with.

Also the Apex part of this is an entirely different topic and will hold the rest of the BUR back from being approved. The idea of changing Apex Legends skin tags (and later doing the same for other western games that use the skin_character name format as opposed to the character_(skin)_(copyright) of gachas) was proposed way back in topic #18788 and ultimately rejected when it went to BURs in topic #23039. Qualifying those tags in this format would require doing it for ALL of the Apex skin tags, not just the one character.

There's basically no reason to change skin tags that use this format if that's what they're officially called. That's just consistency for consistency's sake, and it's even more pointless now than it was when topic #18788 initially proposed it because of the search changes that have been implemented since.

I would unalias/deprecate revenant after the rename to doom revenant. There are way too many series with revenants.

There's also no instrinic need to rename the costume tags. Ultimately, whether a series uses the qualifier format is mostly just up to the first person to start tagging that series. It's even less needed now that, at least on the post page, it shows nested if there's an implication
