Topic: Invalidate "name" tag

The bulk update request #12817 is pending approval.

change category name (75) -> invalid

Reason: This tag is too vague, I recommend using these specific tags instead:

• artist_name
• character_name
• name_badge
• id_card
• name_tag
• collar_tag (if there’s name on that collar)
• commissioner_name
• copyright_name
• species_name
• scientific_name (mostly in latin text)

There is also name_drop and name_in_dialogue, though some people argue those should be invalidated too.

I think it would make sense to imply or even alias name in dialogue to name drop but invalidation? I’m not sure, is there a forum that argument?

Maybe somewhere, but the gist of the issue is that these tags largely just mean "some dialog contains a character's name", which seems like a pointless thing to tag. Even if "name drop" has different connotations, such a thing is too open to subjective interpretation, which isn't good for TWYS.
