Tag merge request - knk and kinoko_(pixiv)

They are the same person. I have no idea how to merge tags, but I think kinoko_(pixiv) is the better tag.

Without even realizing there was a forum thread, I had just moved them all today to kinoko (since it was vacant, didn't think the extra Pixiv bit was necessary) and created a wiki entry. Not sure where "knk" came from, but maybe it was the artist's handle on Pixiv at some point.

When I checked, there was a single picture tagged kinoko, and it looked like a completely different artist. I'm not sure where it went though, it doesn't seem to be on the kinoko tag now.

I didn't see anything tagged kinoko before I started changing the tags (the tag must have gotten removed or changed by someone else).

On a related topic is there any convention with the _(pixiv###) on the end of various artist names? Seems like half of them have it and half don't...

You should only use xxx_(pixiv1234) when xxx itself is already used.

So I assume you want knk -> kinoko. I don't think kinoko_(pixiv) needs an alias.

knk... Kara no Kyoukai?

EmperorBrandon already took care of it. The single kinoko post that was there before he did the renaming seems to have vanished, but now knk, kinoko, and kinoko_(pixiv) are all on kinoko, which is the way it should be. I was referring to actual tag replacement/merging rather than aliasing, also.

I don't think we should ever need the pixiv####.

If two artists have the same name, the latter should get the name of their personal site as the qualifier.

If there is no personal site, it gets _(pixiv)

If both artists have the same name and are pixiv only, either 1) name the latter with their account name as seen in image URL, or 2) make that account name their qualifier.

Example, artist dollar's pixiv image URL includes his account name, "dorudoru": http://img02.pixiv.net/img/dorudoru/2094670.jpg

If there were two artists, who only had pixiv accounts and no personal pages, and both went by 'dollar' as their nickname (profile screen, "ニックネーム"), I would tag one 'dollar' and the other 'dollar_(dorudoru)' or 'dorudoru'.

I think it is more likely kinoko with the vowels removed.
