create alias yyrf3o -> netetsu_(yyrf3o)
create alias ._(pixiv35127496) -> netetsu_(yyrf3o)

Same artist, they also go by ねてつ (Netetsu). Using the twitter handle of their public twitter account as a qualifier. I still don't know the proper procedure when there are two different artist tags for the same person and neither are a good name.

Like how you did above, you request to alias the older arttags to a new one named after their most used screen name. Add a qualifier if it's ambiguous with other tags, usually that's the artist's most used handle.

• If the new tag doesn't exist yet, the oldest tag should be aliased first because the bot will rename its entry and the history will be kept in the new tag (forum #252321).
• If the new tag already exists/has an artist entry, you can rename it like artist 193724 before aliasing it (forum #251634 ; history).

Should I add a qualifier or just alias mtmnkmn to the artist tag?

I think this isn't necessary. The autocomplete won't give you the tag without an alias but you can find the tag in the Artists page now.
