PSO2 Deuman race has 2 tags for the same thing.

BUR #48494 has been rejected.

create alias duman -> deuman
mass update io_(pso2) -> deuman

(Never done this before, hope I'm doing it right.)
There's a playable race in Phantasy Star called Deumans. Deuman is the official English localized name, and Duman is the old fan translation before the game was released globally. For some reason there are 2 tags for this that mean the same thing. Just keep the English localized one since the Newman tag, another English-localized PSO2 race name, already exists.

Also, update every io_(pso2) post to have the tag because she's a Deuman yet it's missing from most of her posts.

This BUR is trying to do two things at the same time, which is frowned upon because one bad line takes the whole thing down.

There may be posts of Io that don't depict her as a Deuman, whatever that is, so blanket tagging it isn't going to work. It should be done manually.

It's literally the race that she is. It's like how every y'shtola_rhul post should also have miqo'te because that's what she is. There are pages and pages of both characters missing their respective race tags.

Yeah, and? Did you check every Io post? If you haven't, you can't be sure. It has to be done manually, even if it ends with io_(pso2) -deuman having zero posts.

Okay. Then I just checked. Since this BUR hasn't gone through yet, she doesn't have any posts at all tagged with deuman.

Then there are 13 pages and 251 posts of Io (Pso2) -duman. She has the characteristic Deuman horns/heterochromia/body tattoos in all of them, even if they aren't properly tagged. Well, some omit drawing the tattoos, but that doesn't change her race all of a sudden.

She only has 9 posts with duman. I made sure to check deleted posts too.

So I'm supposed to manually open eeeeeevery single one of her posts, click edit, paste deuman, and click save, one-by-one? What's the point of the mass update function then? I'm trying to kill 2 birds with one stone here. Fix the duman tag with deuman, and properly tag every one of Io's posts. Did I just type the commands wrong??

OK. At the very least, this should've been two BURs, since you are trying to do two things here (aliasing duman to deuman, and mass tagging Io (PSO2) with deuman), and slipping in the second one in a topic that looks like it's only for the first one is frowned upon, as I said. But we'll see what the admins think, I guess.

I thought making multiple different threads at once would've been worse considering that the topics are related. But I'll do that in the future then.

You can stack BURs in the same topic if they're related, FWIW. Just click "Request alias/implication" while on a forum topic, and the new BUR will be posted in that topic.

It would help to write that in a deuman wiki page then, what taggable traits a deuman has so other people can be on the same page and understand what visually makes a character a deuman, not just whether a character is canonically declared to be one. You could probably list notable deuman characters too (like how the elf wiki does for example) since I imagine it's more characters than just Io that need the deuman tag added to posts with them.

First line on its own.

The problem with proposing mass updates like this without confirming every post first, is that this actually just isn't true. There are cosplay posts and a post of her depicted as an axolotl, none of which should be tagged miqo'te.

Builders have access to tag scripts, which make this very fast. That's the best way of doing this, since it takes just as long as confirming that each post would fit the mass update. The point of the mass update function is more for massive tag changes where you can be 100% sure that each post qualifies.
