Artist alias request thread

Posted under General

BUR #10666 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias hato_(gomashiopappa) -> gomashiopappa_k

Same artist, gomashiopappa k was created first. Taking the opportunity, what are the guidelines for aliasing artists? Sometimes I see aliases going from older to newer artists and sometimes the opposite, personally I think if the artist has changed their name, the alias should go from the older to the newer name, but I don't see it happening every time, I suppose there's something obvious I'm missing.

Reversing alias; there is simply no reason to "dispose" of the older artist tag. Also changing to profile name.

Pinging @Ardouru in this message; while not necessarily mandatory, try to consider the dates of when the artist tags are created into consideration. Ideally "preserve" the history of the older artist tag whenever possible.
