@Witch-Hunter-Siegfried You're putting the tags in BUR in wrong order, it should be vice-versa. Also, it should have a qualifier.

I can't believe someone who doesn't know how to do proper BUR is made purple.

I was thinking the fuller version is funny tis all (and I've 0 clue what a qualifier is), and as for why I'm purple I've just got a bunch of art to upload lmao.

I'm gonna have to vote against this as well. If anything, the tag should be character:sir_robin_(monty_python) (that bit at the start, the word "character" with a colon after it, is the qualifier; it makes the tag a character tag instead of a general tag)

I mean yes it's funny, but for Danbooru tagging purposes it is inaccurate - it's not his name, it's an in-universe title, a descriptor, an "honorific". Lancelot and Galahad are not tagged as "Sir Lancelot The Brave" or "Sir Galahad The Pure" because those are in-universe descriptors, not their actual names.

...plus, if it were okay to use in-universe descriptors in the names of the tags, his full tag would be "Sir Robin The Not Quite So Brave As Sir Lancelot Who Had Nearly Fought The Dragon Of Angnor Who Had Nearly Stood Up To The Vicious Chicken Of Bristol And Who Had Personally Wet Himself At The Battle Of Badon Hill" which would be more than a little bit unwieldy.

I kinda did that for Galahad MB (had to make tags for some art I uploaded, as most of the Monty Python Knights have no tag, fixing now

Qualifier actually refers to the bit at the end, the parenthetical stating what the tag's related to. You generally don't need to include character: or char: in BURs, especially if the tag already exists.
