Artist alias request thread

Posted under General

BUR #10961 has been approved by @Hyozen.

create alias daniwae -> danzero

What should have been done, per forum #214905, is to rename daniwae to daniwae_(deleted) (now artist_285215, renamed by Talulah), delete that artist entry and then alias danzero to daniwae, which at this point should be an empty new tag, because danzero is the older artist tag, so the edit history should be preserved. I also noticed the target tag didn't correspond to the display name, I choose to stay silent because I wasn't expecting it to be approved as soon the alias order were reversed.

Next time someone is going to alias an older to a newer artist tag, please rename the newer artist tag to something else, delete it and link it to the target tag before approving the BUR, just like it was done with the former daniwae tag that now is artist 285215.

My initial thought was to do everything in a single BUR, but I wasn't sure it would work, so I choose to do it in 2 BURs in the end.
