Danbooru

Alias: eula_(genshin_impact)

Posted under Tags

This is not covered by that topic or the BURs in it. I would have covered it in BUR #4743 had Eula had a confirmed surname at the time, but she didn't.

Or if you're saying that the discussion in that topic makes this unwise for some reason, I haven't seen anyone object to Genshin characters with known full names being tagged as those names. In my opinion, there's no harm done by having tags with qualifiers aliased to the main tags either. They'll be nuked in a few years when they're no longer needed. In this case, the alias is required by danbooru policy due to the postcount.

Changing Eula's tag was previously attempted in forum #18479 but the user never followed up on it.

eula is at the top of the missing searches (barring "Danbooru" misspellings, "hentai", and Samsung Sam). I'm not sure if using full names for genshin characters is a good idea.

That would've happened even if we stuck with eula (genshin impact). You can't avoid missed searches entirely unless we had gone with just Eula, which I expect no one would have accepted. Only solution is aliasing Eula to it.

Most of those missed searches come from Google, anyway, and will eventually stop being so numerous.

From personal experience, i tried to search for eula expecting eula_(genshin_impact) to pop up, but i only found Eula Lawrence, which i thought was someone from another series. Afterwards i spent some time trying to find her through wildcard searches.
eula_(genshin_impact) only appears after you type the underscore, so the alias eula_(genshin_impact) fails it's purpose.

Also, aliasing "eula" alone sounds like a bad idea, and she's not the only one suffering from this.

I couldn't agree more. I play the game and the last names I have only learned because of Danbooru. They should all be aliased to first-name_(genshin). we don't need anything else.

This is specially true for people unfamiliar with the game. When the Topic about removing qualifiers failed, I thought we would move the way of adding qualifiers to all of them. Staying consistent and easy to use and tag.

I still support using the full name, so long as the short name is aliased to it, but this shows we do need some work on the search so that the qualified tags easily appear to direct to the proper tags.

I would think in theory if there were other tags with the name Eula, changing Eula_Lawrence to Eula_(Genshin_Impact) would not resolve the behavior as described by Username Hidden. As such changing the tag to Eula_(Genshin_Impact) isn't a real solution to the problem.
