Circle -> Artist aliases

Circle of a single artist -> artist name

For famous circles whose artist's real name is not well remembered. The proposed circle name should be the original they go by (if it's in Roman letters) or the official romanization by the artist. Otherwise, please indicate.

Request Lunade_Luna -> nabeshima_tetsuhiro alias.

Done

Stripe_Pattern -> shimadoriru

Might that be mistaken for... a striped pattern?

Yeah it's a bit too close. It looks like the tags are already under shimadoriru so I'd rather not alias this.

Would something like "Stripe_pattern_(circle) work?

Is there a reason why we need to alias them if it's not being used? Is it a really well known circle name?

I can say it's never been used as a tag here but not how well known he is by that name.

Stripe Pattern is kinda prolific in Touhou doujin field (18 books in 2 years) and have distinctive drawing style. But it's fine to leave the alias alone if not many people here know him.

winter_scenery -> kannazuki_hato

Tohonifun -> Chado

Both are fairly prolific and if anyone is trying to find the artists they would use the circle name.

winter_scenery has the same problem stripe_pattern does.

I'll throw in a _(circle) -> name alias but I honestly don't think anyone who doesn't know the artist name will think to add _(circle). Doesn't hurt to have it though.

Did tohonifun.

I've never seen winter_scenery used as a tag. Perhaps include a wiki note if it is used that if you are looking for the circle by the same name, go to the artist page and provide a link.

asatsuki dou -> ugatsu matsuki

There was just a thread with someone unable to find this artist, and a lot of people know the circle name rather than the artist.

Sure it's not a tag but it just seems a ambiguous to attach to an artist. Does the circle call itself "winter scenery" or the Japanese equivalent?

asatsuki dou -> ugatsu matsuki

Done.

Yes, he does. It's the site name too.

On another note, I've notice something strange in artist search field. In the case of kannazuki_hato, at first I only fill in the "group" field as winter_scenery and save. Then I cannot search any artist with "winter_scenery" query. But if I fill in his "other name" field with that then I can search "winter_scenery".

However, artist atoshi have KOTI as both other name and group, and I cannot search for artist KOTI at all.

I think it's probably the capitalization that prevents it from turning up in a search. Actually it looks like I've mentioned that before in the last post in forum #32615. Capital letters in the source field are also similarly unsearchable (forum #10412)

I see, I'll change it to normal letters then.

happy_flame_time -> haruka_akito

tsukiyo_gensou -> yuuki_eishi

koti -> atoshi

gp-kids -> takana_shinno

teddy-plaza -> seo_tatsuya

All circles I requested alias will be the original name or the official romanization they used unless indicated otherwise.

haniwa_store -> haniwa

reason: The former is the touhou comic doujin name of Haniwa.

Anelaid said:
haniwa_store -> haniwa

It's an English translation of their circle name. I won't opposed to this, but it's not gonna help other users who is not familiar with Touhou doujins.

I made this thread because usually I visit the artist's websites by google their site names, which is more often than not their circle names. So it'd be easier to tag the arts by that name rather than searching for their tags in Danbooru.

The downside is I'm never gonna remember artists' real names.

I was mainly adding it because for one, I tired to find him using his circle name and failed, and I'd imagine anyone coming from touhou wikia or another doujin site isn't going to know that his name is haniwa.

But I see your point.

Done.

Normally wouldn't do something as short as 'koti' but it's not correct romanization and wouldnt be used in a tag anyway.
