MOAR DQ filibusterment!
flora_(dragon_quest). I'm sure I've brought this up before (maybe...), but is there any instance of her in a non-cameo role in any DRAGON QUEST outside V? If not, then shouldn't this read flora_(dq5)?

I'd favor getting rid of the qualifier completely, seeing how the flora tag only has five posts (and not from the same series either), while flora_(dragon_quest) has over one hundred posts. It'll make finding Flora images easier, and it'll be consistent with bianca and deborah as well.
However, it may be tedious to change all the posts, and more work for the admins.
I've cleared out the 5 images that were under the flora tag. 4 of the images were tagged flora and claymore, so I moved them to the already existing flora_(claymore) tag. The 5th one was of a character from the game series Professor Layton. Upon looking it up, it turned out the character had the full name "Flora Reinhold," but it was indicated that in the Japanese version of the game her name was originally "Aroma Reinhold" and so I moved the image to aroma_reinhold.
In regards to flora_(dragon_quest) -> flora_(dq5): If the character is the only character recognized as flora, then I wouldn't see a reason to specify which game of the series she came from.

and nwf: just because it's deleted doesn't mean it shouldn't be tagged properly.
The images didn't exist, so I didn't see any real harm. I'll not do that next time then.

I'm aware of the mass edit tool that admins (and mods?) have access to, but I don't know how tag scripts work. Would anyone mind teaching me?
Under "Mode", select "Edit tag script", enter in the script you want, in this case "flora -flora_(dragon_quest)", and then start clicking on the posts to change them.
Go to any post search, such as tongue, then select "edit tag script" in the drop down box labeled "Mode" near the search box. A box will pop up; enter a tag script, such as ":P -tongue". The Mode should automatically change to "apply tag script". Now whenever you left-click any image in the search results, the tag script is applied to it, instead of opening the page of that post. In this case, the tag script would remove the tag tongue and add the tag :P.
EDIT: beaten

This relates to my lurking around FF tags, where even if it's the only character of the series named so, the specific game/sub-series is used (summons (and Gilgamesh) get the generic, since they're recurring, even if technically different each game/sub-series).
This likely stems from the separateness of the entries, each being their own little universe *ignores FFX->FFVII*, whereas DQs seem to have a continuous world(s).
@ EB and 0xCCBA696: Grazie.
So, now we wait for admin approval before the transition from flora_(dragon_quest) to flora?
So, should we alias flora_(dragon_quest) to flora, or leave things as is?
