More Godzilla tags (sigh)

Posted under Tags

BUR #35226 is pending approval.

rename type-3_kiryuu -> kiryu_(godzilla)
rename godzilla_against_mechagodzilla_(2002) -> godzilla_against_mechagodzilla
rename godzilla_final_wars -> godzilla:_final_wars
deprecate mechagodzilla_(godzilla:_city_on_the_edge_of_battle)

No one calls him Type-3 Kiryu in the movies, they just call him Kiryu or Mechagodzilla.
We don't need the year of the movie, there's really only one movie with that title.
Godzilla: Final Wars has a ":" in it's title.
...Jesus Christ we don't need a million tags for one character, just type "godzilla:_city_on_the_edge_of_battle" and "mechagodzilla" if you want that specific Mechagodzilla.

They're a consequence of topic #25526 and the normalization of a specific user's tagging choices (godgun), since if we were abandoning the "use the relevant copyright tag with the character tag" rule for Anime Godzilla and MonsterVerse then all the cards were on the table, allowing the recent trend of alternate design skintags (most commonly seen with gacha games and VTubers, but spreading far further in the past years) to make its mark here too. I'm half-surprised we didn't see chartags appear for the most popular Godzilla suit variants, since sometimes people draw Godzilla in a style-agnostic fashion and the suit designs will often be used in multiple movies (which, speaking of, why aren't all the current Godzilla copyright tags listed in Godzilla (series) for accessibility's sake...).
