Artist alias request thread

Posted under General

BUR #20072 has been approved by @Jisadel.

create alias miota -> darkcatowo
create alias darkcatowo -> miaotai_miota

Prior to aliasing, darkcatowo is the older artist tag (existed since 2022) than miotastudio (created in 2023). It would make more sense to alias to the older tag, then rename the older tag to their current name. Doing it the other way around pointlessly "throws away" the older artist tag and its change history. It would also make it look as if the artist's works from before the creation of the newer artist tag never got tagged their artist tag.

Updated

BUR #20075 has been approved by @evazion.

remove alias vep -> enden
create alias vep -> shioda_(shioda_5)
create alias enden -> shioda_(shioda_5)

Vep is the older entry.
Though 塩田 can be read as えんでん, 塩 can be read as しお and 田 can be read as た or でん, but with rendaku it can also be read as . Shioda is their handle, confirming the correct reading.
Since they're short and kind of ambiguous, I'm not sure if both tags should be aliased or renamed to the final one.

create alias user_zxjw2422 -> mhy_var

same artist, new pixiv account

I guess you could edit this to mhy_var -> shirousu or something like that

create alias user_zxjw2422 -> mhy_var

pixiv stacc name(didn't realize they already had a twitter post uploaded and the romanization of their username is taken) vs twitter

I was writing a dmail about this after deleting the entry, you can double check for similar images with userscripts and reverse search tools before posting and arttags should be created with the artists' names, not handles or stacc ids.
