Topic: Characters in Disney's Pinocchio

The bulk update request #11774 is pending approval.

create implication "honest"_john_foulfellow (258) -> disney's_pinocchio (297)
create implication gideon_(pinocchio) (64) -> disney's_pinocchio (297)
create implication jiminy_cricket (24) -> disney's_pinocchio (297)
create implication figaro_(disney) (11) -> disney's_pinocchio (297)
create implication cleo_(disney) (2) -> disney's_pinocchio (297)
create implication stromboli_(pinocchio) (2) -> disney's_pinocchio (297)
create implication disney's_pinocchio (297) -> pinocchio (329)

Reason: This has been debated before (see forum #22271) but was never resolved. All of these characters (or their names) are unique to Disney's interpretation of Pinocchio. See https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Pinocchio_characters and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Pinocchio#Characters

Sounds OK to me. Characters called "the Fox" and "the Cat" appear in the pre-Disney Pinocchio, but Disney created the characters named Gideon and Honest John / Foulfellow, as well as the rest (as far as I know).

FYI, I think you meant to link to Forum Topic 22271 but you actually linked to an old post that is unrelated to the topic.

An issue brought up in the older thread were to have both Figaro (Disney) and Jiminy Cricket both directly imply Disney since Pinocchio was just their debut in Disney media, going on to appear in non-Pinocchio related offerings throughout the years (Jiminy in roles like the host for I'm No Fool and Figaro as Minnie Mouse's cat). Also, I think the general preference expressed there was to get rid of the quotes in Honest John Foulfellow's name.

Therefore:

alias "honest"_john_foulfellow -> honest_john_foulfellow
imply honest_john_foulfellow -> disney's_pinocchio
imply jiminy_cricket -> disney
imply figaro_(disney) -> disney

It's weird Monstro has never gotten onto the site yet, though.

I agree with what you're saying (and the quotes are rather annoying). However, Disney does like to mix IPs and whatnot, for holiday specials and other reasons (see Wreck-it Ralph). Would it make sense to put a character with whatever franchise introduced/popularized them if they are not strictly outside of a dedicated universe?

And should I just edit the BUR to change those tags? or leave it as is/wait for someone else to do it?
