Should be aliased or otherwise dealt with then.

And aliased fail to failure

I think this was created by mistake.

I've actually made the same mistake myself when I was new to the site. And come to think of it, I've seen quite a few other wikis accidentally created that way, too.

I think the problem is that it's easy to assume the same tag-type prefixes can also carry-over to wiki entry creation, when, in fact, it does not.

Maybe some extra leeway should be provided to prevent these types of accidental wikis? eg, if a 'char:' or 'copy:' prefix is detected, it'll just ignore it?

solva_(needless)

Moved to solva because there are no tag conflicts so a qualifier isn't needed.

So the qualifier is... needless.

...I'll be leaving now.

Couldn't help but notice that the jessica_nigri wiki from the first post isn't deleted. An oversight, or was it re-created?

Looks like an oversight given that its wikis history indicates it was last edited 3 months ago.

No, I definitely remember the wiki getting deleted the first time. This wiki was created when there were actually Jessica Nigri cosplay photos under the tag, both of which failed in the mod queue.

I thought so. Wiki/pool/tag histories have all lied to me before.

char:ash ketchum
character: ash ketchum

We all know they both refer to satoshi (pokemon); but does one have to make such a wiki page for the English name?

Wait, "character: ash ketchum" is still up. Is there some kind of Unicode space involved?

macross_the_first (without colon)

Reason: Pre-existing Macross:_The_First (with colon) wiki and tag. The two wiki contents should be merged first, if necessary.

Huh, I dunno, maybe I only deleted one of them. Anyway, fixed.

Meme-influenced tag that mirrors girl_in_a_box.

huge gun and huge sword
Can be covered by a combination of huge weapon + gun/sword. Allows for a more standardized approach and can include many different weapon types, plus it mitigates further creation of "huge_weapontype" tags. Any thoughts on this?

I raised a similar issue before in forum #27286, but that was for a really minor tag. These are decently populated tags, so I'm not sure deleting them is the best way to go. After all, of all the weapon types we have on DB, gun and sword are (I'm guessing) two of the most used.

oh, I didn't realize huge weapon was a used tag, I thought it was for miscellaneous weapons (designs) that were very big. For BFG, it was there, but had no wiki.
