Topic: fursuit photos (grandfathered in): TAG fursuit maker and/or photographer?

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Wondering about artist tags of the fursuit photographs (that were grandfathered in).

Include artist tag for
1) fursuit maker?
and
2) photographer?

Checked Help: Tagging Checklist and e621:tags (and forum) and didn't see answer,
which makes sense because new uploads of fursuit photos included in list of "Irrelevant photographs" at uploading_guidelines.

Example:
Photo post #88333 has two artist tags: jd_puppy and unknown_artist.

Checking FA source ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/4256931 with flickr.com link) of 88333 gives us
1) Chorca as photographer (Chorca tag currently character type.)

And digging around it seems JD Puppy made both fursuits of PD Puppy (oops: both fursuits named JD Puppy)
so if we're including tags for fursuit maker,
artist tag of jd_puppy should remain with e621 photo #88333.

(LONG-version: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/164310/ "Posted: Jul 25th, 2006"
says "This is J.D. Puppy the fursuit, my first fursuit, and the first fursuit I built, ... completd June 10, 2006 ...
I hope to make a version two by next year," (so ETA of 2007)

Don't see a photo post (at FA) explicitly saying who made JD version 2,
but Fursuit Database https://db.fursuit.me/?c=viewsuit&id=63 says "Built by: JD Puppy"
and "Last updated: 2008-10-04" (which is about a year after JD estimated JD fursuit version 2 would be done)
plus the photos at Fursuit Database look to me like version 2.
(plus I don't see any other fursuit builders at FA claiming to have made JD version 2)

EDIT: By the way, (in terms of how many jd*puppy* tags to have):
JD Puppy is an artist (2d art) and "JD Puppy" also name of one of his characters.
Character name at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/13573620/ ,
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/9054351/ , etc)
e621 has 3 jd*puppy* tags: jd_puppy_(character) and two artist tags jdpuppy and jd_puppy.

Artist writes artist name "JD Puppy" on his art, so I think we go with jd_puppy instead of jdpuppy.
