create alias kirwet99 -> kirsty_(kirue_t)

New account with another name, but same artist. All accounts going by old name have been inactive for 4 years

@Zumzigzoo the order should be reversed, kirue t is the brand new artist tag and it's their twitter handle instead of display name.

Btw, if the display name is in English or roman letters, always prefer it over handles and staccs, see forum #215446 and forum #215264 for example.

forum #214905 for complete guidelines.

BUR #10998 has been approved by @Hyozen.

rename kirue_t_(deleted) -> kirue_t
create alias kirue_t -> kirsty_(kirue_t)
rename kiruet_(deleted) -> kiruet

alias kirwet99 -> kirsty_(kirue_t)
alias kirue_t -> kirsty_(kirue_t)
alias kiruet -> kirsty_(kirue_t)

That's what should have been done and what I'm trying to do with this BUR. Both kirue_t and kiruet were dupes of the former kirwet99 artist tag and they were renamed to *_(deleted) and had their entries deleted instead, so the links and other names weren't moved to the kirsty_(kirue_t) and people will hardly know what happened with these two tags except by the kiruet tag pointing to kirsty_(kirue_t) so they can check the edit history.

The links and other names are contained in the *_(deleted) tags now, I'm renaming them to their former names before aliasing them to the new tag, the aliases will be more intuitive that way. kiruet is already aliased to the new tag, from the BUR right above mine, it was said on forum #213844 that renames move aliases, so I'm trying to just rename it, instead of doing this:

unalias kiruet -> kirsty_(kirue_t)
rename kiruet_(deleted) -> kiruet
alias kiruet -> kirsty_(kirue_t)

Outcome: the renames didn't work, I had to do it manually, probably because they came from deleted tags, but that's finally settled now anyway.
