create alias madmoshie -> moshiedraws

Same person

@Bunter32 In the future, do not manually move tags. That is, don't purge the entry out and switch the links yourself. The alias will do that and leave a proper record so it doesn't look like you're vandalising posts. If you notice a duplicated artist tag or want to rename the artist tag, submit a request here and wait for a Builder to approve it. That's all that's needed from your end.

rename melonpan_(artist) -> melonpan_(meidocafer)

Bad "artist" qualifier, changed to alt handle used on Twitter and Youtube.

Also someone gotta make an separate artist tag for the earlier bad ID stuff, cuz it's from an unrelated artist with the same pen name.

@TKX You can do that yourself now.

create alias and_narcolepsy -> and_nuts

Twitter handle -> actual name.

@TKX No it's not. Have someone check the romanisation of "あんどーなっつ" instead of what Google Translate told you.

they use "andnuts" on their fanbox

That's not how we name artist tags - that's their username, not the name they go by. The name they set across all their accounts is "あんどーなっつ", meaning that's the one to romanise and use as the artist tag, unless their username is the same as their preferred romanisation.

it is not that uncommon to transcribe loanwords with hiragana rather than katakana. based on their fanbox username, we can safely assume that the intended reading is the english one, rather than a literal "andoo nattsu"

If that's what's going on here, then it's fine. If not, it's not. Ergo, needs a second verification.

create alias mobi_mobi -> alphamob200x

"Mobi Mobi" or "mobubeinglewd" is the NSFW handle of alphamob200x, and alphamob200x is older artist tag on Danbooru so mobi_mobi should be aliased to the older tag. Both call themselves "Mobu" so basically the same person.

Switched the names of the entries.
