Tag Alias: princess_rosalina -> rosalina

Aliasing rosalina -> princess_rosalina.

Reason: Just like princess_peach and princess_daisy

EDIT: change to princess_rosalina -> rosalina , not sufficient official info to confirm the title "princess"

Isn't Rosalina generally referred to as just "Rosalina" rather than "Princess Rosalina"? If just calling her Rosalina is more common, then shouldn't the alias be princess_rosalina -> rosalina?

I'm not sure about this. Is there any real official evidence that she's a princess? If not, then Arrei's suggestion is better.

Going by the Super Mario Wiki supposedly her bio in Super Mario Galaxy indicates she is a princess (requires confirmation on this though).

Not much is known about Rosalina, the lonely princess who wanders the cosmos in the Comet Observatory, a giant starship that travels the celestial expanse. She is a great friend of the Luma, taking them in and caring for them as if they were her children. But there is a sadness behind her eyes. What has she lost out among the stars?

It seems they had only found two things that indicated her being a princess. The bio and a trading card's text, and in their talk page for the Rosalina page there was comment on how she's never referred to by characters as a princess.

IGN refers to her as Princess Rosalina, you get quite a few results on a google search for "princess rosalina," and "princess rosalina" redirects to the rosalina wikipedia page. At minimum we should have the "princess_rosalina" tag directed to the rosalina tag.

Eh, we could go either way.

The Super Mario Wiki doesn't label her a princess like it does with Peach or Daisy, and her heritage as a princess is background trivia at best. The games themselves make no mention of it either.

I add some info,
"http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ロゼッタ_(ゲームキャラクター)" (without quotes)
where is writed
"Rosetta (Rosetta), the game software series of Nintendo Mario series is a fictional character that appeared in.
In addition, in the name of the overseas edition has become a Princess Rosalina."

Where's the source on that information? She's only ever referred to as "Rosalina" in the games she's appeared in, she doesn't rule over anything, and no character ever outright calls her a princess. While some people will call her "Princess Rosalina", her most often used name appears to just be Rosalina, so I'd say the alias should be the other way around.

At most, I found an old interview where miyamoto talks about the plot of mario galaxy, in which he said he thought of a princess in outer space, but not necessarily in direct reference to rosalina, who was most likely at the time he thought of that, unnamed.

>>Arrei good point, but always intrigued me why she has a crown and large dress just like princess Peach and Daisy.

May be she was a princess in her homeworld or homecountry, or perhaps is a symbol for hers new home on that comet, i can't remember the name right now. All is hypothetic. Hers background story is too ambiguous.

The best is use "Rosetta" tag, like satoshi of pokemon instead of "Ash".
Personally I keep calling her Princess Rosalina :)

OK, in resume

Aliasing princess_rosalina -> rosalina

Makes me think of Princess Sarah, which in Theatrhythm is refered to by title. If she's called "Sarah-hime" or such in Japanese materials, I may be asking for a reversal (though I'd "lobbied" for the standing alias).

To me, her background story book showed me that she was a relatively normal girl in the beginning. But as you say, its pretty ambiguous so who knows.

I say Princess_rosalina -> rosalina for now, until we get more definite evidence that says otherwise.

Agreed

It's just a simple name, so it should be qualified anyway. I'll alias princess to rosalina_(mario) and move the existing tag.

If it must be qualified, then can we get a rosalina -> rosalina_(mario) alias as well?

We don't alias simple names.

Oh, okay. I just suggested for those who are used to typing Rosalina in the search box.

It's not a perfect solution, but the wiki says "For the Mario Brothers character, see rosalina_(mario)." which should help people notice.

Although this is another reason why I wish the wiki displayed on the /post/index page by default. I have it there with a greasemonkey script but most people won't have anything like that installed.

I use related tags way way way more than I ever used the wiki sidebar.
