Commisioner artist tags?

came across taeminhyeon and was confused on it's existence, as I was on the understanding that we don't tag commissioners? either we do and this is kept, and other commisioners should be tagged in such accordance, or this should be nuked.

personally while I don't agree with with commissioners being put under the same billing as artists, there's not really a good way currently to do anything else. Ideally we'd be able to make subcategories/more categories to resolve issues like this instead of having to qualify everything to ad nauseam like the current issue with cosplay tags and to a lesser extent voice actor tags.

We shouldn't be tagging commissioners, and definitely not as artists. It's confusing, people will think they're an actual artist. I think that tag should be nuked.

There are other commissioner artist tags but they're mostly empty. The ones that are tagged should be reduced to zero. I guess they're useful to keep around to remind people that they're not actual artists, if posts are uploaded from their sites.

I kept some of these because it's easier to garden and to avoid arttags being created for their accounts again. Some aren't empty because there's no information about who the artist of an image is or I didn't find who they are with the information available.

Keeping the wikis is a good idea, I agree. But if we don't know the artist, I think the commissioner tag should be removed on all of them and replaced with artist_request.

I prefer slowly nuking the tags while finding the artists of the images because it's harder to check the posts in bulk by going through the tag history or second-party_source artist_request.

For us, the only time we need to know who the commissioner is is in the commissioner upload post. On here, it's only the artist who created artworks that matters.
