The bulk update request #2492 (forum #165370) has been approved by @evazion.

BUR #2497 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias chouge60229 -> c8oyk
create alias uggrgregg -> ash_(shikkoku_no_tsubasa)
create alias sirono-ra0929 -> shironora
create alias nya_rl -> shiira_(nya_rl)
create alias resonancq -> budesonide
create alias o_yat -> saltycaramel

Reason: 1st, Old name -> current name.
2nd, I don't know where that gibberish came from, but he is known as Shikkoku no Tsubasa since the start. (He uses AsH on Pixiv and Twitter too)
3rd, another stacc name by a certain user -> actual name.
4th, [Twitter handle] -> [Pixiv & Twitter name]_([Twitter handle])
5th, current name.
6th, old name (and stacc name) -> current name.

BUR #2498 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias liuli88 -> dl_lizijiang
create alias sunshine7 -> humiaojun
create alias luciana1 -> lin_nulixiulian
create alias armr_95 -> araishi_maro

Reason:

The first one: stacc name; their profile name is DL狸子酱.

The second one: stacc name; their BCY profile name is 虎喵君; their Pixiv profile name (虎喵努力畫圖中) would result in a very long artist tag.

The third one: stacc name; their Pixiv profile name is 琳_努力修炼.

The fourth one: twitter handle; their Pixiv profile name is 荒石まろ.

create alias 647531835 -> ken-san
create alias user_cnjn8224 -> wen_(nukumaruyutaka)
create alias corpse_(pixiv) -> mada_(shizhou)
create alias hmw_(pixiv7054584) -> daima_hmw

Reason:

The first one: numbers stacc name; the same artist already exists as a readable artist tag.

The second one: stacc name; profile name is 溫 (wen); the qualifier came from the Twitter handle.

The third one: "pixiv" as a qualifier is not a viable choice, and the name "corpse" is likely outdated; the new artist name comes from their Pixiv profile, and the qualifier comes from their BCY profile name.

The fourth one: generic qualifier; their current Pixiv profile name is 代碼Hmw（お仕事募集中）. The non-parenthesis part of the name can be translated as "daima hmw".

I don't think aliasing em and uni is a good idea. Short tags are more prone to typo mistags, which is made worse by em and uni being common English prefixes. Furthermore, there are other tags of the form em_(*) and uni_(*). If someone tags uni it should not be assumed that they mean uni (plastic girl) as opposed to uni (neptune series). These are the reasons I renamed them in the first place.

Pixiv profile says 溫 should be read as Yutaka.
I would suggest nukumaru_yutaka for clarity, since the CamelCase in his Twitter handle doesn't carry over.

BUR #2505 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias tukiyofree -> getsuyou_yasumi
create alias hpb8642 -> kim_hyun-kyung
mass update kaoruko(unkrk55) -> artist:kaoruko_(unkrk55)
create alias warabimochi_(wasabi) -> aliage
create alias kuro_neko_(artist) -> shigure_(sigre)
create alias loading_(vkjim0610) -> komi_(komiking)
create alias ex_azusa -> da_mao_banlangen
create alias moebell0 -> moebell

Reason: 1st, most likely a circle name, as the artist uses "getsuyou_yasumi" since the beginning.
2nd, old stacc name -> Twitter name, translated from Korean.
3rd, mass update to fix naming mistake.
4th, old name -> current name.
5th, besides using "_(artist)" as a qualifier is never a good idea except for V-Tubers, "kuro_neko" is incorrect since day 1. "sigre" is from his Twitter profile.
6th, old name -> current name, with qualifier form his mihuashi profile.
7th, stacc name -> translation of Pixiv profile name.
8th, another forgotten artist entry for three years courtesy of Stun-99, which turns out to be same artist.
(This is why I don't like to use "artist:" prefix.)

em had 600 posts and uni had 300. This is big enough that I think the need for an alias outweighs the ambiguity. For reference, nearly 100 people had their saved searches broken because of em being moved.

BUR #2506 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias nagi_lria -> nagi_ria
create alias namazuouko -> namazuoku
create alias 2d -> nidy

Reason: 1st, Twitter handle -> actual name. The stacc name is correct, oddly enough. Only Twitter handle that using different name.
2nd, apparently a typo.
3rd, I don't know why we didn't use nidy, as "2d" can be misunderstood by some people, thinking it means "2-dimensional art" or "pixel sprites".

BUR #2507 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias jun_(540000000000000) -> jun_(aousa0328)

Reason: Stacc name qualifier consists of numbers; the Twitter handle can be used instead.

2d is another unfortunate case where the artist's old name is ambiguous, but the artist is big enough and old enough that not aliasing it would make it hard to find for people who only knew the artist under their old name. We've lived with calling them 2d long enough that I think we can live with keeping a 2d alias for a while longer.

BUR #2511 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias karou_(pixiv47191635) -> karou_(lhscck302)
create alias even_(17245601) -> even_(even_yiwen)
create alias even_(artist) -> eely
create alias yahiro_(666131415) -> yahiro_(heartseek000)
create alias prut3 -> moda_(mo_da_3)

Reason:

The first one: generic qualifier; the new qualifier is derived from their gmail account (listed in their Pixiv profile).

The second one: numbers stacc qualifier; the new qualifier is derived from their translated Twitter name.

The third one: "artist" as a qualifier and their current artist name is likely outdated; their current Pixiv profile name is EEly.

The fourth one: numbers stacc qualifier; the new qualifier is derived from their Facebook profile.

The fifth one: stacc name; their profile name is "moda" and the qualifier came from their Twitter handle.
