I understand why you'd change the Chinese tags Japanese ones, but I can't for the life of me understand why we'd change things already qualified to unqualified aliases.

They have official names already, and the names on here are all mixed up. This is so everything is uniform. "Momo," for example, isn't the name - it's "Momo no Sei".

hmm... small critique.
wouldnt it be better to make praina -> hannya, tiaotiaomeimei -> kyonshii, ying geass -> hotarugusa, and bai lang -> hakurou aliases? that way they'll still appear even if you search for the old names.
the rest sound like incorrect romanizations so it should be fine keeping them as renames.

...........but keep in mind im not familiar with the game nor the fandom. im just figuring that because they were named that way, then that means that at least SOMEBODY is used to calling them by their chinese names.

It's meant to be Chinese names -> Japanese names. I'm making them all uniform here, hence why I'm trying to use their names in the JP version (which is most commonly used online and even used in the global ver, from what I'm aware.

I'd believe it should be reversed. Prajna should be an alias of Hannya, for example.

The usual stance is that if most characters need a qualifier, then it's better to make it uniform and add it on all of them.

Also, I think an alias would be better than a rename.

The current names are all out of order still. Last time I attempted this to be approved, I was told to get all of them to fit one another.

Once these are renamed, I'll attempt to have their CN names added as aliases.

Given that these characters are heavily based on public domain mythology, I added qualifiers to the ones missing them. A very small amount of them might be unambiguous but I googled some of them and found alternate versions from other franchises, so I'd rather avoid a future headache and just qualify them now.

Alright, thank you!!
