BUR #47478 has been approved by @nonamethanks.
rename if_you_want_to_become_a_godly_artist_(meme) -> if_you_want_to_become_a_godly_artist_(trend)
mass update if_you_want_to_become_a_godly_artist_(trend) meme -> -meme
This is an art trend, not a meme.
The bulk update request #47478 (forum #386725) has been approved by @nonamethanks.
You can discuss whether this tag is redundant or needs a nuke, I just wanted to get the meme tag out.

BUR #47487 has been approved by @evazion.
create alias if_you_want_to_become_a_godly_artist_(trend) -> brown_egyptian_cat-eared_loli_(trend)
potential rename idea in reply to forum #386739. i don't think anyone's going to remember the exact wording of the tweet when searching for this tag, but they will remember the subject.
not that the current name itself even matches the contents of the tweet, based on the screenshot on the wiki.
BUR #47488 has been rejected.
nuke if_you_want_to_become_a_godly_artist_(trend)
alternatively, since this tag doesn't get you much compared to just searching dark-skinned_female cat_girl ancient_egyptian...
i'm ambivalent myself.
Down the line there could be another trend inspired by a tweet that also uses the "if you wanna be a godly artist" line, so renaming it to be specific makes the most sense. Same reason why yur oc like this had to be aliased.
There is another very similar meme going on at the same time, most of which are currently tagged jimiko (and some combos of it post #9940185) so this name feels a bit too ambiguous.
I think it's very likely someone would want to search for a specific trend like this, and we're bound to also get parodies and adjacent posts that wouldn't perfectly fit any combination of tags.
Imagine if we told people searching for jack-o' challenge to just use top-down bottom-up. Doesn't make much sense to me.

on name it's just machine translation vs. some other translation
i think a descriptive tag like this is bad because it will probably be applied to dark skin + ancient egyptian + cat ears + loli forever regardless of actual timing if it's written like that
Another option would be to make it a pool first and then figure it out, like pool #2352
I got a question. Shouldn't these be treated as trends rather than memes as well?
sailor_moon_redraw_challenge_(meme)
buttercup_redraw_challenge_(meme)
one_finger_selfie_challenge_(meme)

Potentially, but at least those have a very consistent template since they all have specific reference images they're based on. This is just a broad category of character prompt so there's no set appearance for them.

this can't be searched by regular users due to being more than 2 tags, which is a point against it imo

We can't base our entire tagging structure on whether or not members can do the search. You can remove dark-skinned female from the suggested search and get basically the same results, aside from a ton of Ankha posts around the middle. Arguably the multi tag search is better because it gets you more results, and eventually the trend will die and then that tag won't get you new posts, either.
Which is my issue with trend tags like this. Unlike something like sailor moon redraw challenge (meme), which will always be an applicable tag regardless of when someone decided to redraw the template, at some point we have to stop tagging Egyptian catgirls with this trend tag, and then it just becomes an awkward time capsule. Not useful for posts that predate it or posts that come after. It's not covering a unique concept, just a brief period of something that already existed.
