Circle -> Artist aliases

Posted under General

winter_scenery has the same problem stripe_pattern does.

I'll throw in a _(circle) -> name alias but I honestly don't think anyone who doesn't know the artist name will think to add _(circle). Doesn't hurt to have it though.

Did tohonifun.

Sure it's not a tag but it just seems a ambiguous to attach to an artist. Does the circle call itself "winter scenery" or the Japanese equivalent?

asatsuki dou -> ugatsu matsuki

Done.

Yes, he does. It's the site name too.

On another note, I've notice something strange in artist search field. In the case of kannazuki_hato, at first I only fill in the "group" field as winter_scenery and save. Then I cannot search any artist with "winter_scenery" query. But if I fill in his "other name" field with that then I can search "winter_scenery".

However, artist atoshi have KOTI as both other name and group, and I cannot search for artist KOTI at all.

I think it's probably the capitalization that prevents it from turning up in a search. Actually it looks like I've mentioned that before in the last post in forum #32615. Capital letters in the source field are also similarly unsearchable (forum #10412)

I see, I'll change it to normal letters then.

happy_flame_time -> haruka_akito

tsukiyo_gensou -> yuuki_eishi

koti -> atoshi

gp-kids -> takana_shinno

teddy-plaza -> seo_tatsuya

All circles I requested alias will be the original name or the official romanization they used unless indicated otherwise.

haniwa_store -> haniwa

It's an English translation of their circle name. I won't opposed to this, but it's not gonna help other users who is not familiar with Touhou doujins.

Is there a reason why we need to alias them if it's not being used?

I made this thread because usually I visit the artist's websites by google their site names, which is more often than not their circle names. So it'd be easier to tag the arts by that name rather than searching for their tags in Danbooru.

The downside is I'm never gonna remember artists' real names.

I was mainly adding it because for one, I tired to find him using his circle name and failed, and I'd imagine anyone coming from touhou wikia or another doujin site isn't going to know that his name is haniwa.

But I see your point.
