Unalias Final Fantasy's Cait Sith

Posted under Tags

BUR #60850 has been approved by @evazion.

remove alias cait_sith_(ff7) -> cait_sith_(final_fantasy)

Much like Mog before, Cait Sith is the name of several unrelated characters in Final Fantasy, and it makes little sense to cram them all into one tag. This is not like the case of recurring summons like Ifrit or Shiva (which are merely different designs for each game); Cait Sith is presented differently in each game. He's been a summon in VI and XI, an NPC in XIV, a playable character in VII, and a plush wielded by Lulu in X. The Cait Sith from VII in particular has many costumes that are not implied to the main tag yet, and Revelation will probably bring more, so this is a good time to deal with it.

Removing the alias is the first step. Then it depends on whether we want an umbrella tag, or get rid of the tag altogether so that each incarnation can have its own separate tag. I already made the tags for the others: Cait sith (ff6), Cait Sith (ff10), Cait Sith (ff11), Cait Sith (ff14)

Feels weird for the VII character to not have its own tag. XI and XIV are also their own characters. Feels kinda weird to have Cait Sith (ff10), but I guess if that's all that remains.

Odd how I didn't catch that when it happened. In any case, I have been thinking that it wouldn't be a bad idea to give recurring summons umbrella tags so that each incarnation can have its own tag, given that they tend to look different from game to game.
Not for Cait Sith though, I don't think it should have an umbrella tag at all.

BUR #60905 has been rejected.

mass update cait_sith_(final_fantasy) final_fantasy_vii -> cait_sith_(ff7)
create implication cait_sith_(ff7) -> cait_sith_(final_fantasy)
create implication cait_sith_(ff10) -> cait_sith_(final_fantasy)
create implication cait_sith_(ff11) -> cait_sith_(final_fantasy)
create implication cait_sith_(ff14) -> cait_sith_(final_fantasy)
create implication cait_sith_(ff6) -> cait_sith_(final_fantasy)

Option 2: Turn it into an umbrella for every incarnation of Cait Sith.
