create alias mal0_(scp_foundation) -> scp-1471
create alias malo_(scp_foundation) -> scp-1471
This tag is a pain to find, most people don't have the numbers memorized. Mal0 is a much more commonly used name.

I would argue that in general, most people who are interested in SCP Foundation do have the numbers memorised and specifically refer to the characters by their numbers, especially big listers that appeared in the SCP: Containment Breach game. SCP-1471 is one of those outliers that is popular (especially among a certain type of community) but, as you've said, more known by their alias rather than their number. Once you start branching out from the "big few" and go above 2999, it's easier to remember their common alias than their number.
None of the others have aliases that I know of and probably don't need them but I think the utility alias is warranted for this one.

Yeah, I was definitely just speaking on this specific case rather than in general, sorry for any ambiguity. I just upped a picture of this character the other day and as someone who knows the character but isn't super into SCP lore, it was a bit hard to find the tag given I only really know the character as Mal0, lol.
