Dragon Quest aliases

BUR #40982 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias homer_(dq11) -> homeros_(dq11)
create alias yocchi_(dq_xi) -> tockle_(dq11)
create alias akuma_shinkan -> wrecktor

The last two are abiding by the new push for monster names for Dragon Quest to be their English names.
"Homer" is just another way to say Homeros' name.

In addition, I've considered if we can alias or rename erdrick's sword, erdrick's shield, and erdrick's helmet to all use Roto instead of Erdrick to abide by the characters being tagged by their Japanese names, but I am not sure. If the English name is to stay, then roto's emblem may have to have "erdrick's emblem" as an alias.

I think we should be using the English names for the characters. A BUR to update them was attempted once before in topic #26642, but it was never passed.

That's a good idea honestly. Or, at the very least, having the English names as aliases. Helps with searchability for people who aren't as familiar with their Japanese names.

I should have bumped my thread a few months ago when Evazion was going around approving everything.

I still want it to be passed, but it probably should've been split up more for organization sake

similar to how topic #22728 is doing it in batches

plus I think NNT needs good sources

Ah, yeah. That would have been wiser on my part. Probably should have started with fixing the first alias since that's just the same name with a different spelling.

How should I go about doing it? Creating a new topic or bumping the old one? Are wiki pages a good enough source?
