Artist alias request thread

SidBarrett said:

Just like the artist uses the alias “nathaniel_himawan” for all their accounts, they also use the alias “ninesicks” literally everywhere. That’s why my idea is to change the tag to include the two names they are most known by, or want to be known by. Also, this isn’t the first time Danbooru has gone with this approach. As I said, this will help make their art more recognizable.

Ninesicks will still appear as an autocomplete result since it's an alternate name in the artist entry. If you think it's that necessary as an alternate name, make it a "utility alias", but I imagine that's not going to be looked upon favorably for an artist with (checks notes) 6 posts.

The point is to pick the artist's most preferred alias and that doesn't necessarily mean having every single identifiable name in their artist tag or pointlessly qualifying tags that don't need to be. Use Other Names for that.

That's exactly my point. I'd consider “nathaniel_himawan” the preferred alias if the artist used it on most of their social profiles. However, that’s not the case. Across all their accounts they use both aliases (I checked them) so I'm assuming both are the artist's preferred aliases.

create alias act_(xadachit) -> adachi_t_(xadachit)

Old name -> current name. (200+ posts)
Qualifier kept because "adachi_t" is ambiguous by itself.
