I accidentally made a wiki page instead of an artist page

Posted under General

I found the pixiv and twitter account of an artist called "kyukon" (only has post #2541878), and I gave the tag a wiki page instead of an artist page. Now Danbooru won't let me replace the wiki page with an artist page. How do I delete the wiki so I can replace it?

Does this link work? https://danbooru.donmai.us/artists/new?artist%5Bname%5D=kyukon

EDIT: Hang on, I've had to do this before, I think you have to rename the wiki page to something else first (like "kyukonZ") and then make the artist and then name the wiki back

It's actually easier to give the artist some temporary name on creation, then adjust it upon edit. For example, on the above I created the artist with the name "kyukon_(temp)", then renamed it back to "kyukon".

You can only do that if you have the builder rank, right?

Yeah, sorry, I should have mentioned it was only for Builders. I threw it out there as an idea for Builders to use when they need to do the same or help somebody else in the future.

For other users, it's probably easiest to just create a new topic, as I'm not sure there's a topic already out there for such, and the artist tagging help thread (topic #8199) probably isn't the right place for it either.
