BUR #26087 is pending approval.

create alias princess_leia_organa_solo -> princess_leia

The current tag name is pointlessly pedantic. Nobody would refer to her as anything but "Princess Leia" in common speech, and I think the tag's name should be in line with that. It's not ambiguous with anything else as far as I can tell.

Wikipedia: Princess Leia

I think having "Princess" in the tag name would work best for us because of notability: even Wikipedia uses just Princess Leia as the page name, simply because that's how most people know her as.

I don't even know if Organa is really needed. As someone who doesn't care/know much about Star Wars, if I saw "Princess Leia Organa" in the autocomplete I think it'd make me do a double take, and I'd have to make sure it's actually for the Star Wars character.

I'm more ambivalent on this one since while we do honor having full names as chartags wherever possible and therefore her (post-marriage) name would be consistent with that practice, there is also precedent on the site with shortening the character's name by using their better-known name as the chartag.

Shortening her chartag to "Princess Leia" would be analogous to how we treated several Genshin Impact and all Blue Archive characters.

No, using the post-marriage name if the character is first introduced before their marriage isn't consistent with character naming and would just add unnecessary spoilers to series. Otherwise we'd be using names like Sylphiette Greyrat or Uzumaki Hinata.
